Thanks to @NelGuillet new finds about Paris Roman Palatium and s'more. Now for Christmas I want a book/publication about Merovingian royal villas. We know these people love to hunt (no blame, people have to eat regardless of fridges and electricity), would they be inspired by Constantinople imperial elite, would they start doing their Frankish own things. How would their halls be laid out? Looking at @Inrap @Inrap_ActuCIF
They did some excavations there, recently... they find some unexpected graves, and a big roman wall... inrap.fr/palais-de-justice-d…

Before the Louvre guarded the world’s art, it guarded Paris. Beneath today’s museum survive the foundations of the fortress built by Philippe Auguste around 1190.

Letzte Wochen wollten sie alle noch Charles Spencer das Recht absprechen, ein Buch über seine Schwester zu veröffentlichen. Er wolle nur Geld damit machen. Heute stellen sie ihre eigenen Bücher vor.
Ok for them to sell their new books though! Hypocrites!

A mob in Kentucky took a Black man to the town's OPERA HOUSE, tied him to a post on the stage, and SOLD TICKETS. Orchestra seats could empty a revolver. Gallery seats got one shot. Will Potter. Livermore, Kentucky, 1911. The New York Times reported it. The house was filled. Around fifty men fired. Eighteen men were indicted afterward, which was rare. Every one of them was acquitted, which was not. Somebody priced those seats. Somebody decided the gallery only gets one shot. That is not a mob losing control. That is an event with a business model That is the kind of buried history that inspired our book documenting crimes against black people

I fucking love how Charles Spencer is super smart totally humiliating Charles Windsor who in comparison seems so small. Spencers seem to be so much better than the Windsors in all levels hahahaha. "But you were 30 and he wasn't your mother" hahahaha 🤣😂

"My father was a slave, and my people died to build this country, and I am going to stay here, and have a part of it just like you. And no Fascist-minded people will drive me from it. Is that clear?" —Paul Robeson

She was bought at fourteen by a man who assaulted her for five years and fathered two of her children. When she finally fought back and he died, Missouri put her on trial — and the court ruled she had no right to defend herself. Celia. 1855. Missouri law at the time said a woman could use deadly force to defend her honour. Celia's lawyers argued that law covered her. The judge ruled it did not — because the statute said "any woman," and Celia was not legally a woman. She was property. That was the finding. Not that she was lying. Not that it had not happened. That the protection did not extend to her, because she was a thing. She was convicted and sentenced to hang. The state waited until she had given birth — the baby was stillborn — and then executed her in December 1855. She was nineteen years old. Her story is the kind of buried history that we must never forget savvypurchase.samcart.com/pr…

The vaccine–autism myth started with one 1998 paper of 12 children. It was retracted, the author was struck off for dishonesty, and studies of millions of kids since have found no link. One fraud vs. millions of children

Et voilà que le buzz provoqué par la découverte du rempart de l'oppidum des Parisii sur l'île de la Cité nous fait fleurir partout de "l'empereur" Jules César dans les médias ! Ici sur @franceinfo (et il s'agit d'un rempart gaulois pas d'époque gallo-romaine!) 😱
