Odd casting. I would see Ciaran Hinds much more as the Celt Vercingetorix. Goscinny and Uderzo were superb together. "Alesia? I don't remember Alesia! There is no place called Alesia!!! What are you suggesting????"

I beg leave to suggest a different historical allusion: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiel_mu...

Came here to post that image from Asterix! But ok, have some French romantic historicism:

I'll just leave this here, too:

Other revolutions have been kicked off by the navy. C'mon, learn from history. #USSAbrahamLincoln

Well, it was the American po-sci author Daniel Goldhagen, who argued that the vast majority of Germans were Herr H!ilter's willing helpers. Look in the mirror -?

I was so scared of Sam Neill in that fabulous film "The Piano", but then every character in that film was scary. Later I learnt what a good guy he must have been. Man, this was too soon! 😢🖤 #SamNeill

Demo in Bremen, Oberlandesgericht: Fleischlobby will verstecken, wie grausam #Schweine vergast werden.

Bei Schweinen werden Gaskammern immer populärer, da hierbei die Schweine ersticken, ohne dass ein Mensch zusehen oder eingreifen muss. Dabei werden die Tiere in kleinen Gruppen in sogenannte Gondeln befördert, die einem grossen Ofen ähnlich sehen.

So the Devil's Emporium wants reviews, but not reviews that say that you keep being told that an item hasn't been dispatched by the seller, so it's obviously unavailable, even though you can still buy it on the website. #amazon I should know better.

#GoodFriday Hans Holbein (1521/22, Kunstmuseum Basel) imagines nail marks in Jesus' feet too. He puts himself into the tomb, see his initials and the date (MD is clearly visible). "Anno domini" of course implies the resurrection. But for today, #Jesus and Holbein are both dead forever.

#GoodFriday Hans Holbein, Dead Christ in his Tomb, 1521/22, Kunstmuseum Basel

#GoodFriday #HansHolbein Most victims of crucifixion would NOT have had nails driven through their palms. trowelandpen.com/2025/04/18/t...

#GoodFriday #dead

that this silly, fateful story about the man who meant to free his people from imperialist oppression but failed, that this story might have ended here, with a tortured body in a grave. That is how his *history* ended. But the STORY didn't. But IF IT HAD! The horror, the horror! #GoodFriday #Jesus

Testament overall appealed more to me, the patriarchs, Ruth & Naomi, et al. But when I got to the crucifixion, I BAWLED my eyes out. The pity of it. Hyper-sensitive, moi? My mother was flummoxed; my dad didn't even notice. My point is: I lost all religious faith when I was 19, but I gained a 2/4

Odd. Must be be, then.

Did it before. - Oh, when people had allotments.

I was thinking more along the lines of a revolution, see Germany, 1918:
