The Battle of Brunanburh, fought in the autumn of 937 at an unknown location, saw the English king, Aethelstan (r. 924-939), defeat a coalition of invading armies led by Constantine II of Scotland (r. 900-943) and Olaf Guthfrithson of Dublin (r. 934-939). #History #Vikings #Aethelstan #Anglo-Saxon #England #HistoryFact https://whe.to/ci/2-2657-en/

Il n'y aura pas eu de miracle: les Jésuites du #Canada mettent fin à la revue Relations comme au Centre Justice et Foi qui la publiait.
C'est une perte majeure non seulement pour le débat interne au #catholicisme au #Québec et au Canada, mais plus largement pour le débat d'idées, tant la revue comme le Centre étaient devenus au cours de leur histoire des lieux de réflexion et de rencontres pour la #gauche québécoise et au-delà, pour les milieux intellectuels.

Dans cet article du @ledevoir , quelques éléments de contextualisation - dont des différents entre membres de la Société de Jésus (Jésuites) #franco et #anglo.

Doing an online quiz. Not quite sure what "according to historical tradition, not modern scholarship" is supposed to mean. #medieval #Anglo-Saxon

Anglo-Saxon warfare was characterised by frequent and violent conflicts between petty kings, which ultimately led to the rise of larger kingdoms such as the Kingdom of Mercia, the Kingdom of Northumbria, and the Kingdom of Wessex. #History #KingdomOfWessex #KingdomOfMercia #Anglo-SaxonWarfare #HistoryFact https://whe.to/ci/1-23816-en/

Oh well, it's one of those things again isn't it.

I recommend, at least, a suspension against (at)mynameistillian(at)plush.city for anti-#Russian #bigotry. The more cautious (especially pro-#Ukraine and #antiwar / #nowar Russians) may want to #fediblock the entire #Mastodon instance.

Receipts:

1. @PsyChuan@plush.city posted screenshots of #Telegram publishing a blog post with a screenshot containing a follower count that is 1,488, possibly pointing to a #nazi #dogwhistle. Considering the long history of fascists being platformed by Telegram to this day as well as the later change of the subscriber count to an oddly specific number 1,391 (coincidentally there was a Jewish pogrom that same year in the Iberian peninsula), I'm not going to question this, this seems pretty plausible that it's intentionally a nazi dogwhistle on Telegram's part.

2. @dettlaff@mastodon.ml, probably confused (and I would be too tbh as a #Filipino living in the #Philippines, "1488" as a dogwhistle is not well-known outside the #Anglo - #American worlds however tillian wants to claim otherwise), simply asked OP where the dogwhistle is. This was before OP edited the post to make it clearer that the dogwhistle is in the subscriber count (thanks PsyChuan!). det appreciated OP's response by faving it.

3. Out of nowhere, tillian went into the replies to accuse def of being a "white supremacist", and goes on to equate him to a "typical white russian guy" who defends the "entire set of ideals that modern russia is founded on" (i.e. #whitesupremacy in their view), despite the fact that def is against the war in Ukraine and most likely anti-#Putin (considering they want their #politicalprisoners in #Russia freed, if the anti-war position is not enough for you). Basically tillian went full aggressive against def for no damn reason, and has still not apologized as of writing.

Since this is also a response to tillian's fediblock post, I'm also putting the #fediblockmeta tag here.

«As finance minister, #EricGirard was at the very top of the cabinet pecking order. The #Anglophone community could now count on the most senior minister to at least hear and, ideally, help with its concerns.

Problem is, things have only become worse for the #anglo community since he was named. Girard appears ill-prepared, or unwilling, to act effectively in contentious files like his government’s hobbling of #McGill and #Concordia universities.»

«If only we could bid goodbye 2 this gov. There’s no excuse 4 the [LA] Kings fiasco. [Francois] Legault, that avuncular bully, was playing his usual shell game. “OK, we’re stiffing the teachers & nurses but we’re bringing #hockey 2 #Quebec!

Ten Interesting Pre-Norman Kings

Alfred the Great Statue in Winchester

Prior to the arrival of the Romans, Britain didn’t have any kings in the traditional sense, but with the withdrawal of the Empire and the coming of the Anglo-Saxons, loose communities turned into kingdoms.  Eventually, these kingdoms merged un

Why northern #Europe is so #indebted - #TheLoop

"If we consider #ConsumerCredit, the #welfare-#debt theory makes sense again. While consumer credit is more the exception than the norm in Europe, and almost absent in the #NordicCountries, it is common in #Anglo-liberal countries (#UK, #US and #Canada) where it is used by families as a substitute for poor #welfare provision."

Trying to find out if the two bills going through the Georgian Parliament are actually going to kill off the 22yr old #Anglo-Georgian project @Nokalakevi. A brief moment of relief this morning before discovering that - despite their statement - the government can’t actually withdraw a bill that has already had its first reading, and that there’s another (apparently worse) bill still lined up… #ForeignAgentRegistrationAct

Escomb Church

The quiet village of Escomb lies at the end of a mile long cul-de-sac down a steep bank. It's a village which fortunes have ebbed and flowed.

The origin of the name derives from the Saxon name "Eda", which led to the medieval Ediscombe — the second element, "combe"'  is a sheltered dwelling place. The settlement is mentioned in the "History of St Cuthbert" of 1031, and the "Boldon Book", o ...
