Those celebrate the dignity of labour and labourers. Not merely the aesthetics of either.



Aesthetics matter even without the strong, healthy and attractive workers up top this presents itself as a monument to a movement self assured enough in its own strength and power to reach its goals.

Is Stalin the closest any human came to actually being the cultural conception of Santa? Setting aside that Santa was originally Saint Nicholas. Factories above the Arctic Circle, sees you when you're sleeping, knows when you're awake, people constantly writing him letters begging for things,

Global Press Archive CRL Alliance Launches Open Access Liberian

www.crl.edu posted:

East View Information Services and the Center for Research Libraries (CRL) have launched the Daily Observer Digital Archive (DODA), the eighth Open Access collection produced under the Global Press Archive (GPA) CRL Alliance.

Comprising more than 35,000 pages, DODA is a comprehensive archive of the English-language Daily Observer, Liberia’s best-known independent national newspaper. Founded in 1981, the Daily Observer is notable for its coverage of the modern history of Liberia, from the Liberian Civil War through its current phase of development.
DODA joins seven other Open Access collections produced under the GPA CRL Alliance:

El Mundo Digital Archive
Imperial Russian Newspapers
Independent and Revolutionary Mexican Newspapers
Late Qing and Republican-Era Chinese Newspapers
Middle Eastern and North African Newspapers
South Asian Newspapers
Southeast Asian Newspapers

DODA will be followed by the release of a collection of Soviet-era Ukrainian newspapers in late December.

Since 2019, East View and the Center for Research Libraries have partnered in the GPA/CRL Alliance to accelerate the mission of the Global Press Archive. Through the Alliance, CRL defines and sponsors the creation of thematic and single-title collections on the GPA platform. The continuation of this highly successful academic-commercial partnership is a testament to CRL and East View’s shared values of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and reinforces the commitment to extend access to global newspaper collections to the widest possible audience.

My favorite fighter ace is Pierre Le Gloan. In WW2 he shot down four German aircraft, seven British aircraft, and seven Italian.

I cannot stand all this talk about the "Vichy Government" and "Vichy forces" and all that crap. France fought in WW2, they lost, they signed a peace treaty with the Reich, and then were a neutral country after that. The only other French authority after the peace was a low-ranking officer who was a British puppet who claimed an illegal authority over the entire French Empire and absolutely did not represent the will of the French people.

Compare and contrast the Poles who evacuated their whole government overseas and operated under Nazi occupation. Full ministries, an entire state operating under the crushing weight of an occupying force. Including accrediting degrees and supporting the arts.

The French stopped fighting. The Poles continued. One of those got completely hosed. In every sense of the word.

Especially funny given that I think Hong actually believed what he was seeing, at least at first, and may have started having his visions/dream/hallucinations before being directly exposed to Christianity; while Smith was just making poo poo up
