  1. So, the last movie hubby and I (and our shared bestie) saw in a theatre was #Dune. I think we need to see #TheOdyssey on the big screen. I mean, #Circe, Penelope, #Telemachus #Oikos ("homecoming" not the yogurt)?! This looks like it covers most of the important stuff!

  6. ....An uncounted but large number of us have been fighting this as hard as we know how for more than 10 years. We are scared, exhausted, and despairing, and there aren't enough words for us to say how deeply sorry we are that our government is menacing the whole world.

  7. “I expect Canada to come out of this looking like a better destination for investment capital in oil and gas and ultimately that should be a major tailwind for the loonie, but not until the dust settles”

    I hope finance ghouls like this don't wonder why they're so hated and reviled by us "socialist radicals". #WarIsHell

  8. King Wenceslaus IV, shown wearing his mother's bra into battle, was NOT the GOOD King W known from Xmas carols. He was a pretty good soldier, we'll leave it at that.

    Russia has started importing fighters for its war.
    But, honestly, the battlefield doesn’t care about passports. If you show up here as an occupier, we have a very clear reception protocol.

  10. Watching one of our favorite films for December, the tragic Tora!Tora!Tora! Directors Richard Fleischer, Toshio Masuda, and Kinji Fukasaku. It’s the Japanese version with 2 addional scenes and director commentary, watching it with subtitles. Actors, production values, cinematography are brilliant. When it first came out I watched it for the battleship destruction, but have come to appreciate its political tragedy narrative.

  11. A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt

    Much has been said in this country about not wanting to participate in foreign wars and people who have said it, must now face the fact that foreign wars come very close to our own shores. We will always have not only the religious groups, but many groups who feel that war is wrong. I cannot imagine how anyone could feel otherwise with the picture before them today. But when force not only rules in certain countries, but is as menacing to all the world, as it is today, one cannot live in a Utopia which prays for different conditions and ignores those which exist.

    Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962) First Lady of the US (1933-45), politician, diplomat, activist
    Column (1940-05-17), “My Day”

  12. Trump is quite mad.

    As he said, Department of Defense should rather be Department of War.

    Now defense.gov/ points to war.gov/

    War is hell, war is crazy.

  13. CW: N word on protest sign from 1960s

    Countless #BlackAmericans had openly opposed the #VietnamWar. As early as 1965, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee produced a statement that unequivocally lambasted the war, and said that no Black American should “fight in Vietnam for the white man's freedom, until all the Negro people are free in Mississippi."

    Still, thanks to the draft's implicit #RacialBias , Black Americans disproportionately served in Vietnam. This is largely because then-college students — the majority of whom were white men — could defer enlistment. As such, the burden of enlistment fell more on non-college educated men, particularly non college-educated #BlackMen. As a result, by 1967, 64 percent of all eligible Black American males had been drafted. Only 31 percent of eligible white men had.

  14. In the Ukrainian village Yahidne Russian soldiers went berserk and turned it into a death camp. Those who survived are traumatized for life.

  15. @IveyJanette
    Time to start teaching people the facts. Were his ancestors slave owners? Or were his ancestors the poor suckers who were forced to fight for them? Had to desert because of lack of food or equipment? Return permanently disabled? #warishell

  16. @CBCNews As the linked article already notes, this take ignores the Russian heavy use of cluster munitions in the war to date.

    The cruel arithmetic of war suggests supplying Ukraine with their own stockpile will speed up the defeat of the Russian forces committed there, perhaps by enough to reduce the number of cluster munitions deployed overall. #WarIsHell

  17. Oh goddammit. I accidentally stepped barefoot on a dead bee and I’m pretty sure it stung me from beyond like a leftover mine on some long forgotten battlefield. #WarIsHell

  18. Did you know that a #Russian #painter got slammed with viewing bans for 2 of his paintings - because they were too #antiwar?

    Vasily Vereshchagin was a trained #war #artist, so when he held a new exhibition in 1871, expectations were high.

    But two paintings shocked the onlookers.

    A bad light on Russia! Viewing ban! The #German army marshal in attendance forbade his soldiers to view the #art & the #Austrian #empire followed suit.

    The paintings are now in a gallery in Moscow.

  19. Ukrainian commanders agree to maintain Bakhmut defense


    Despite large numer of videos and posts on social media showing Ukraine forces desperately trying to flee the besieged city while being hammered by barrage of artillery from up to 70km away, the leadership of Ukraine military decides to keep sending soldiers to the battlefield to die with the wave of meat sent by Putin's army.

    War is hell, but for the commanders sitting in their safe bunkers 100s of kilometers away from the battlefield, is brings nothing but glory and pride.

    The dead bodies of soldiers from Russia and Ukraine will be medals on the uniform of these assholes who don't value life much.
    Ukrainian army commanders agreed on Monday to strengthen positions in Bakhmut, defending the eastern town that has become the epicenter of Russia’s grinding front-line attacks against Ukraine.

    During a regular staff meeting for the supreme commander in chief, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy discussed the situation in Bakhmut with Valeriy Zaluzhnyy, Ukraine’s armed forces commander-in-chief, and commander of the Khortytsia operational and strategic group of troops, Oleksandr Syrsky. Syrsky recently returned from Bakhmut, where he visited Ukrainian soldiers.

    “The commanders talked about further actions in the Bakhmut direction and spoke in favor of continuing the defense operation,” Zelenskyy’s office said in a statement. “In addition, the parties discussed the supply of weapons and equipment and their distribution to operational directions.”
