Liking every single post on here now so that Bluesky stops “losing ground” like social media is WWI trench warfare.

That would by Passchendale. Not sure about the total numbers, but for the Canadians there was at least 100+ known cases of uninjured men drowning in the mud.
Over two hundred horses.

The numbers are up for the last five days.
Instead of a “russian spring-summer offensive 2026” we’re seeing them cosplaying the battle of the Somme/Verdun/Passchendale/Galliopoli etc.

On to Dance of Death and that terrible terrible artwork.
I always think I don't know the album well but it's got Rainmaker, Montsegur, the title track, New Frontier, Passchendale.
I don't think it's as interesting as Brave New World tho.

Behold. One of the worlds most hard to source pieces of glass.
Honestly this is quite the coolest thing that has ever been a thing. A fast estate (shooting brake) will always be way nicer than an SUV unless you live somewhere with Passchendale terrain or have an actual small holding.

All over but he won the VC at Passchendale. 5th Canadian Mounted Rifles.

only to grow up, study history, and realize the people who died in WWI absolutely did not die to defend anyone's democratic rights, and pushing Passchendale was literally propaganda to encourage militarism during Remembrance Day lol

It is the worst of both worlds in terms of strict formula and lack of creative ambition.
And its strongest defence, aside from being innocuous, is that it's Stories ~for Her~.
George Eliot didn't die at Passchendale for expectations this low!

I was thinking of the one that points out most battlefield scenes are inspired by passchendale regardless of whether industrial artillery is involved - the last kingdom, dragon age: inquisition and the witcher all feature as examples

1917, America turned up 3.5 years late, turned down British hard earned advice and got slaughtered at Passchendale.
1942/3 America turned up 3.5 years late, ignored hard won British advice and got slaughtered at the Kassarine Pass.
OK, US was massively helpful but won fuck all by themselves.

War is a f*cking horrible thing & people in my family were involved in both world wars.
One at the Somme & Passchendale & the other at D-Day landings, on Arctic convoys & at sea for c6yrs of his life.
I utterly despise these cretins using this day to platform their own fucking stupidity & hate.

Nope, it was an unnamed hotel in Ypres, Belgium, 15 months after Passchendale ended.

There's a John Bull Road in Bangalore, which is an interesting colonial relic to have remained all these years, over a century since the figure of John Bull died, as W.H. Auden tells us, in Ypres and Passchendale.

Estuve en Passchendale hace unos años. Hay un pequeño lago o un gran estanque. Impresiona saber qué es el cráter que dejó la explosión de una mina, relleno de agua. Es una zona de muy recomendable visita.
