I was thinking of @Forestofglory and a conversation we had a while back about cultural histories of the Tang. It made me remember this lesser known one.

This book is a cultural history of the city of Chang'An through the collected tales of failed examinees, women and foreigners. Also one of the books that sent me on the rabbit hole of foreigners and intercultural marriage in Tang China

"The East Wing as it exists today is a two-story structure[7][8] and was added to the White House in 1942 primarily to cover the construction of an underground bunker, now known as the Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC)."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Wing

So, the #EastWing was built to protect the #POTUS from a #Nazi attack during WWII (in which the USA fought against the fascists). But now #Trump is tearing it down.

Interesting...

Listen to the new Sabaton album, Legends.

I ordered the Storyteller Edition with 2 CDs.

On CD 1, only the great music. On CD 2, an old man provides some background information about the protagonists in the songs.

Learning History with Heavy Metal!

In 2009, Rage Against the Machine played live on a BBC morning show. They were asked to not cuss during their performance. And, well, it turned out exactly as you might have imagined.

I mean, the lyrics clearly state that they won’t do what you tell them. How they didn’t see it coming is beyond me.

(Warning: F-bombs in the audio.)

My impression is that the posts I make about more technical topics tend to get the most interaction here on the #Fediverse. I don’t often post about my daily work as a software developer, but I truly wish decentralized social media will succeed. In my view, that will only happen if non tech-savvy people join... and stay.

I have a wide range of interests: science, philosophy, society, history, politics, cinema, music, and so on. Yet, I often feel it’s hard to find people here who focus on these areas.

Take #science or #journalism, for example. Many scientists and journalists have joined Mastodon at some point, but when you visit their profiles, you often see that they haven’t posted in years.

Should we blame them for deciding, say, to move to #Bluesky instead of staying here and talking mostly to the dominant (tech-oriented) group? I don’t think so.

I’d really love to meet and exchange ideas with more people interested in these topics from different perspectives, especially beyond the tech world. That’s something I enjoy doing in real life too, in a society whose language I’m still learning.
