"[...] November 11, 1918.

All across the Western front, the clocks that were lucky enough to escape the four years of shelling chimed the eleventh hour. And with that the First World War came to an end.

From 10 o’clock to 11 — the hour for the cessation of hostilities — the opposed batteries simply raised hell. Not even the artillery prelude to our advance into the Argonne had anything on it. To attempt an advance was out of the question. It was not a barrage. It was a deluge. [. . .] Nothing quite so electrical in effect as the sudden stop that came at 11 A. M. has ever occurred to me. It was 10:60 precisely and — the roar stopped like a motor car hitting a wall. The resulting quiet was uncanny in comparison. From somewhere far below ground, Germans began to appear. They clambered to the parapets and began to shout wildly. They threw their rifles, hats, bandoleers, bayonets and trench knives toward us. They began to sing. —Lieutenant Walter A. Davenport, 101st Infantry Regiment, US Army

And just like that, it was over. Four years of the bloodiest carnage the world had ever seen came to a stop as sudden and bewildering as its start. And the world vowed “Never again.”

Each year, we lay the wreath. We hear “The Last Post.” We mouth the words “never again” like an incantation. But what does it mean? To answer this question, we have to understand what WWI was.

WWI was an explosion, a breaking point in history. In the smoldering shell hole of that great cataclysm lay the industrial-era optimism of never-ending progress. Old verities about the glory of war lay strewn around the battlefields of that “Great War” like a fallen soldier left to die in No Man’s Land, and along with it lay all the broken dreams of a world order that had been blown apart. Whether we know it or not, we here in the 21st century are still living in the crater of that explosion, the victims of a First World War that we are only now beginning to understand.

What was World War One about? How did it start? Who won? And what did they win? Now, 100 years after those final shots rang out, these questions still puzzle historians and laymen alike. But as we shall see, this confusion is not a happenstance of history but the wool that has been pulled over our eyes to stop us from seeing what WWI really was. [...]"

July Talk - Saskatoon, SK, Coors Event Centre, 4/5/23

Set in a three Michelin star restaurant owned by celebrity chef Duncan Docherty, with Joe Macbeth as the sous chef and his wife Ella as the Maître d'. Joe and his fellow chef Billy Banquo are annoyed that Duncan takes the credit for Joe's work, and that Duncan's son Malcolm has, in their opinion, no real flair for the business. Then they encounter three supernatural binmen who predict that Macbeth will get ownership of the restaurant, as will Billy's children. Joe and Ella are inspired to kill Duncan, but the binmen subsequently warn that Macbeth should be wary of Peter Macduff, the head waiter.

Banquo's name is Billy Banquo, Macbeth's name is Joe Macbeth. Macbeth is played by James McAvoy WITH the Scottish accent. The witches are garbage men. A pig flies. It's like if The Bear was literally Macbeth and James McAvoy was there. It's genuinely so good I think it's still all on youtube. It's literally SO 2005, it's my babygirl. Let it be known this movie came out the same year as the first Narnia movie so James McAvoy was Mr Tumnus AND Macbeth in the same year which I think is delightful.

A retelling of MacBeth set in feudal Japan. Returning to their lord's castle, samurai warriors Washizu and Miki are waylaid by a spirit who predicts their futures. When the first part of the spirit's prophecy comes true, Washizu's scheming wife, Asaji, presses him to speed up the rest of the spirit's prophecy by murdering his lord and usurping his place.

Overall this just translates the rising sense of the doom and drama of Macbeth so well! The film is also beautifully atmospheric. It really leans into using mist and darkness to set an eerie feeling tone. Shoutout to Washizu’s (Macbeth’s) absolutely wild death scene in this version.

Moody, atmospheric, visually beautiful film that captures the vibe of Macbeth better than any I've seen. The illusion of the trees moving is astonishing (especially if you're lucky enough to see this on a big screen) and Lady M's hand-washing scene is as creepy as you'll ever see. And Toshiro Mifune gives a splendid performance (and is extremely hot).

Seeking Fic Help...

Okay Doctor Who side of Tumblr I need help lmao, I need ideas for alias's for four renditions of the Doctor: 9, 10, 11, and 12. Obviously they all can't be John Smith. I have Nine down as James Noble currently, Ten as John Smith, but don't have anything for Eleven or Twelve. I am also very curious as to why in a few fics I've read of Twelve/Rose authors have used Ian Docherty?

I'm a little confused on that as well as that's the name of a real artist? I had assumed it was a name of one of Peter Capaldi's characters from a different project. So yeah, any help would be appreciated and answers because I'm just sitting here going:

EPISODE 100: JACK DOCHERTY

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-9bx8r-146855b For the 100th episode, I talk to a special guest, the brilliant comedian, JACK DOCHERTY. Docherty is a Scottish comedian, actor, and writer.  He first performed at the 1980 Edinburgh Fringe with the comedy sketch group The Bodgers (with Moray Hunter, Gordon Kennedy and Peter Baikie).  Docherty and Hunter became staff writers for the BBC radio…

The announcement that the leader of Prince Edward Island’s Liberal Party is stepping down comes after failing to secure a seat in the provincial election on Monday.

"Cameron says her departure is an effort to put the party first to stay engaged as a Liberal and will be actively supporting the Liberal Party in District 17 in the next election," said Cameron in a Thursday news release.

Cameron finished third in the New Haven-Rocky Point district; Party Leader Peter-Bevan Baker came first, securing reelection by roughly 100 votes over Progressive Conservative Donalda Docherty.

"The Liberals became the island's official opposition Monday night after winning three seats: districts 14, 25, and 27 [MLAs] Rob Henderson, Gord McNeilly, and Hal Perry—congratulations on your well-deserved re-election; our success on Monday is a testament to the positive impact you have had in your districts," said Cameron.

"I have no doubt you will continue the vital work of holding this government accountable; she is stepping down to allow the party to rebuild under an interim leader, and the timing of a future leadership convention will be announced shortly," Cameron said.

The Progressive Conservatives, led by incumbent Premier Dennis King, dominated the recent election, winning 22 of the 27 districts and nearly 56 percent of the vote. The Green Party lost six of its eight seats, bumping it down to third-party status.

Cameron, who became the Liberal Party's leader in November 2022, was a deputy minister from 2007—leading multiple departments, including social services, seniors and labor, workforce and advanced learning, and the executive council.

Prince Edward Island Liberal leader steps down after going unelected

The leader of Prince Edward Island’s Liberal Party is stepping down.

Sharon Cameron’s resignation comes after failing to secure a seat in the provincial election Monday.

Cameron says her departure is an effort to put the party first.

“I fully intend to stay engaged as a Liberal and will be actively supporting the Liberal Party in District 17 in the next election,” said Cameron in a Thursday news release.

Cameron finished third in the New Haven-Rocky Point riding. Green Party Leader Peter-Bevan Baker came first – securing reelection by roughly 100 votes over Progressive Conservative Donalda Docherty.

The Liberals became the Island’s official Opposition Monday night after winning three seats: districts 14, 25 and 27.

“To [MLAs] Rob Henderson, Gord McNeilly and Hal Perry – congratulations on your well-deserved re-election, our success on Monday is a testament to the positive impact you have had in your districts,” said Cameron.

“I have no doubt you will continue the vital work in holding this government accountable.”

Cameron says she is stepping down to allow the party to rebuild.

Details on an interim leader and the timing of a future leadership convention will be announced shortly, Cameron said.

The Progressive Conservatives, led by incumbent Premier Dennis King, dominated the recent election, winning 22 of 27 districts and nearly 56 per cent of the vote. The Green Party lost six of its eight seats, bumping it down to third-party status.

Cameron became the Liberal Party leader in November 2022. She was a deputy minister from 2007-2011, leading multiple departments, including social services, seniors and labour, workforce and advanced learning, and executive council.

Walk up to any Nazi and call them a socialist. See what happens. You will not like the result. Make sure to make an appointment with your dentist first.

Is this you trying to defend Nazis or something?

I’m already aware Nazis don’t have a problem with violence.

Socialists usually don’t. But also I don’t think they would care since they also call themselves socialists lol

I should probably apologize. I’ve fallen all the way down a bottomless Peter Capaldi/Twelve rabbithole through writing Reckless Endangerment and now What We’re Made Of, and my blog is probably going to reflect that. Like, a lot. So you’re probably going to be getting stuff like this:

...I SHOULD apologize. But I’m not. 

If I’m going down, I’m taking all y’all’s asses with me.
