The Gallipoli memorial inscription, for those unfamiliar with it:

"Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives…

You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country." /1
"Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours…" /2
"You, the mothers, who sent their sons from faraway countries wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace, after having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well"

(attributed to Ataturk himself in 1934 although thats debated)

If Boris becomes PM I will STILL not write him into the Brexit Tapes, because (from previous experience when he was Mayor) not including him in something is the easiest way to annoy him.

And that, in and of itself, would be funny.
Basically he'll always have just left the room, be about to arrive etc. etc.
Hell, I'd even go as far as to call the first post-Brexit batch the Boris Tapes and then deliberately not include him.

IT'S FRIDAY! So especially for @sallybosley and her inappropriate crush on Phil Hammond, here is some artwork from the Brexit Tapes book...

Meet the Brexit Club
...and here is Rees-Mogg in a Costa.
And... well... here is a certain Eldritch duck...

Now, there are some minimum sentancing on drug offenses that need to be lifted. Let's just remember, they weren't instituted due to racism... It was the community out cries in the 80's. People demanded crack downs on crack for example. Let's not forget that.
When you hear about those egregious cases where the offender is given probation. It's occurrences like that giving rise to mandatory minimum sentancing. #justSaying
Do the strategies of the 80's and the war on drugs need to be revisited? I'd say so, doesn't seem too effective...
... Justice for the victims in the community was the motivating factor, not this "systemic racism" the history revisionists insist on today.
Just think about that, "systemic racism" and the logistics behind that if it were true.

Why We called Gupta Dynasty "The Golden Age of India "

This phrase called ' Golden age of India' has been first described by the great Indologist, Vincent Smith in his book ' Oxford History of India, volume one

#GuptaDynasty
The same Vincent Smith has for the first time called Samudragupta , the ' napoleon of india'.

The Gupta empire is the fourth largest empire of India covering an area of 3.5 million sq km, after Maurya's, British, Mughal empires, in that order

#GuptaDynasty
The main reasons why it was called golden age is because if advancement in various fields of human development like trade, science and technology, military, social and economic order, religion, art and architecture, etc

<THREAD> @MarshaBlackburn Dear Marsha - those weren't "angry mobs" at your event Angry mobs were the ones who showed up, ARMED and at the behest of the gop, at the ACA town halls. There were no "angry mobs" at the kavanaugh hearings 1/
those were women who were sexually assaulted, who's "representatives" would not listen to them, exercising their First Amendment Right of Free Speech. No one was hurt, not one had bombs sent to their homes, no one was shot. Stop with the b.s. hateful rhetoric. 2/
You and the republicans are spouting disingenuous rhetoric because you can't stand on your pathetic record so the only way you can win is by #Lying, obfuscation, and cheating. Your hateful remarks are getting people hurt 3/

well, ok, @devcorpio and @mathiasverraes by request: thread coming.
heads up for anyone interested in @fielding, #REST, #GraphQL, #CRUD, #SOAP, #Reactive 1/10
per @fielding's disseration, in order to achieve his desired architectural properties (chap02) and meet the WWW's domain requirements (chap04), he wanted to establish a set of required constraints (chap05). most ppl just focus on chap05 and i recommend focusing on chap02. 2/10
there @fielding makes a case that arch properties are induced by the set of contraints you select. thus, he creates his set of contraints for inducing his desired properties and names that #REST. 3/10

there's a great @PBS documentary on Dorothea Lange known for her photography of the Great Depression. She was hired by the government to photograph Japanese Internment camps that imprisoned 110K+ people - she was fired & her photographs were impounded
The photographers, filmmakers, reporters covering the news, and what the government is doing now are so essential #heroes
history repeats itself... and provides much needed perspective as well

I can't with this guy...but interestingly, he's also revealing a lot with each one of these interviews.

Why not just go speak to the Grand Jury? Clearly, it's not about avoiding spending more time talking about the investigation and your experience...

He can't help himself..
#NOW: SAM NUNBERG says he was told he wasn't a target or a subject of the investigation and he was OFFERED IMMUNITY by the Special Counsel's team.

He also said THEY WANT HIM TO TESTIFY...TO CATCH ROGER STONE ON PERJURY...

ADMITTING THAT ROGER MAY HAVE LIED TO PROSECUTORS.
#LOL: Save this one...

SAM NUNBERG: "I'M NOT GOING TO JAIL, COME ON."
