Unfortunately, Molson is owned by a giant Coors……🇨🇦😢 They came! They took it! Bastards.

headline that says RFK blasts Dunkin' as Healey Replies, "come and take it."

This is the absolute only instance of Molon Labe (μολὼν λαβέ = "come and take it") that I will ever condone. 🍩 Thank you for your attention to this donutist matter.

“Poets [creators] are the unacknowledged legislators or the world”. PBShelley. By which he meant they are the “representatives of the people“ - they lead and they imagine a better future. The politics of the imagination is a real thing. Art can and does change the world.

The music of revolution is so much more than protest songs—revolutions are also often soundtracked by songs of hope, love, and joy.

I think it’s important for folks to read the article. You can then be the judge of whether that headline reflects what Carney said. IMO it is very misrepresentative.

Thanks for a fun interaction!!!!

He cites Shelley by name (“one of my favourite poets”) and then quotes the lines at 12 minutes and four seconds. Shelley was also well known among those on the hard left of the party and the socialists. Paul Foot for example. So to me, it seems to be the logical source.

Well, he quoted Shelley at Glastonbury and he also had the entire audience quoting the final lines at his rally at Islington on the eve of the election. So it just seems natural to me that that’s where he got it from. And yes, Shelley may well have borrowed the line as well.

XC "And these words shall then become Like Oppression's thundered doom Ringing through each heart and brain, Heard again—again—again— XCI "Rise like Lions after slumber In unvanquishable number— Shake your chains to earth like dew Which in sleep had fallen on you— Ye are many—they are few."

It comes from Mask of Anarchy. And during the 2017 election Corbyn used the line as the Labour slogan. He could be heard reciting lines from the poem many times - including at Glastonbury. www.grahamhenderson.ca/percy-bysshe...

There was a pretty definitive answer to that and it’s Shelley.

I was reading in one of de Hamel’s books (I think) about how many sheep had too be kept in order to maintain the medieval manuscript business a LOT. Also Neil Price talked about the staggering number of sheep required by the Vikings…. Just to outfit one long haul vessel and expedition.

I was happy for a moment. But then I was very sad. The poor donkeys.

Julius Caesar - Claremont Review of Books

Also found this review by Barry Strauss who again mentions Gruen. I couldn’t find reviews in any of the major newspapers for some reason. claremontreviewofbooks.com/colossus/

If it’s your favourite, I’m almost sure it’s going to be mine. I’ve ordered it. Found this: “…sits firmly in the tradition of anglophone scholarship descending from Syme’s The Roman Revolution (1939) as refined by Gruen’s Last Generation of the Roman Republic (1974).” I ❤️ those 2 books. Thank you!!

I did not know that. And I have now subscribed! Thank you .

Plus the new book on the Sahara!!!

J'adore ça. Tant d'histoires nationales sont fondées sur des mensonges purs et simples. L'histoire d'Alamo en est un autre excellent exemple.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

“The downtown is the heart of the city. It’s the meeting place for Arts, Music, Culture and our creative communities…”

You’re kidding, right? They have golf carts.?

I did the same, but in 1968. With my father. I was in grade 8. You could say that it was a life altering experience and it would not be an exaggeration. And those days, it was completely deserted - no tourists.

My thoughts EXACTLY….

I love Kulikowski’s books. I just wrapped up the Tragedy Empire. This article looks fabulous and I have just ordered the book. Shockingly expensive. But what are we to do? Thank you for drawing my attention to this.

Vintage black and white photo of three family members posing for a portrait. One child seated on a bench to the left, a man standing in the center, and a woman seated on the right. They are all dressed in formal early 20th-century attire.
