Bad. So bad. Bad for our troops, bad our military families and bad our national security. @IAVA and our allies will fight this—just like we’re fighting the ridiculous new attacks on our #GIBill. But it’s really shameful that we even have to. #WTF #DefendTheGIBill #WinterIsHere
If you’re just tuning in, please also check out how @IAVA and our allies are fighting back against a ridiculous attack by bureaucrats at the Pentagon on our earned #GIBill benefits: iava.org/press-release/… #DefendTheGIBill #big6
42,417 people of all backgrounds have signed @IAVA’s petition to the @DeptofDefense & SecDef Mattis to immediately reverse the policy, and put veterans and their families first, instead of creating barriers to access deserved benefits. Join us: change.org/p/secretary-ma… @Change

Quand Beaumarchais débarque à Londres, en ce mois d’avril 1775, il ne vient clairement pas faire du tourisme : d’une part, ses démêlés judiciaires lui donnent quelques raisons de s’éloigner mais surtout, il est en mission secrète pour Louis XVI. #Thread
Il faut dire ici qu’en plus de sa carrière littéraire, le Pierre-Augustin est aussi espion : depuis un an, il est agent du Secret du Roy, organisation ultraconfidentielle mise sur pied par Louis XV et qui n’avait de comptes à rendre qu’à lui-même.
Or, outre le Royaume et ledit service secret, Louis XVI a hérité de son prédécesseur d’un emmerdement de classe internationale qui, justement, se trouve à Londres : il s’agit de Charles Geneviève Louis Auguste André Timothée d'Éon de Beaumont — a.k.a. le Chevalier d’Éon.

En 1913, le conseil de révision de la Drôme est dans le canton de Grignan pour y sélectionner les jeunes de 18 ans du coin qui seront déclarés bons pour le service armé. Parmi les recalés parce que jugés trop chétifs, il y a un petit bonhomme d’un mètre cinquante-huit. #Thread
Il s’appelle Albert Séverin Roche.
Né à Réauville le 5 mars 1895, c’est le troisième fils d’une famille de cultivateur et il sait très bien ce que ce refus de l’armée signifie pour lui : il va se retrouver à bosser avec son père dans les champs.

Et ça, ça ne lui plait pas du tout.

Ce 12 novembre 1943, le USS William D. Porter (a.k.a. le ‘Willie Dee’), un destroyer de l’US Navy mis en service il y a à peine quatre mois, appareille depuis Norfolk (Angleterre) pour une mission aussi secrète que capitale. #Thread
La mission en question consiste à accompagner l’USS Iowa qui emmène Franklin D. Roosevelt (et une bonne partie de l’état-major américain) à la conférence de Téhéran où il est supposé rencontrer Churchill et Staline.
Évidemment, tout ça est top-secret : la plupart des marins de la flotte qui accompagne le PotUS ne savent pas ce qu’ils font là et on a clairement expliqué à tout le monde que la traversée se ferait en silence radio total.

Les 3èmes jeux olympiques de l’ère moderne, organisés en 1904 à St. Louis en même temps que l’exposition universelle, resteront dans l’histoire comme les olympiades les plus bordéliques jamais organisées. #Thread
Comme aller à St. Louis, à l’époque, c’est à la fois long et cher, il n’y que 12 nations seulement qui décident d’y participer. Du coup, sur les 630 athlètes, 523 sont américains.

Évidemment, les États-Unis raflent pas mal médailles.
Mais là où ces jeux olympiques vont atteindre des sommets, c’est lors du marathon masculin, une grande boucle de 39.99 km dans St. Louis et ses environs avec sept belles collines bien raides sur le parcours.

Mais les problèmes sont ailleurs…

Rien n’y fait : à part quelques weirdos, personne ne veut le fréquenter.

De guerre lasse, Dexter tente un coup génial : il va simuler sa propre mort pour voir comment les gens réagissent.
Il se fait construire un véritable mausolée, un cercueil du plus bel acajou disponible et ordonne à quelques hommes de confiance de répandre la triste nouvelle urbi et orbi.
Pas moins de 3 000 personnes se présentent aux funérailles (qui sont, il est vrai, arrosées d’excellents vins) : Dexter, qui observe ça planqué dans un coin, est absolument ravi… jusqu’à ce qu’il aperçoive sa femme qui, au lieu de pleurer, se marre.

Timothy Dexter est né le 22 janvier 1747 à Malden (Massachusetts) et il est mort le 23 octobre 1806 à Newburyport (Massachusetts aussi). Entre temps, il a constitué une des plus belles fortunes de la côte est des États-Unis. #Thread
Ce que son histoire a de remarquable, c’est que Dexter est un fils de fermier qui a quitté l’école à 8 ans pour aider ses parents avant de devenir apprenti maroquinier à Boston.

C’est-à-dire qu’il n’était pas très cultivé (euphémisme : il savait à peine lire et écrire).
Mais surtout, Dexter était bête à bouffer du foin, incroyablement imbu de sa petite personne et, pour compléter ce portait flatteur, c’était un parfait enfoiré.

Il restera dans l’histoire comme l’un des premiers grands weirdos de l’histoire des États-Unis.

Je vais vous raconter l’histoire du piratage télévisuel le plus mystérieux de tous les temps. Ou comment, un soir de novembre 1987, un étrange personnage fit irruption sur les ondes de deux chaînes locales de Chicago… Déroulez donc 😉 #thread
Mais avant d’évoquer plus en détail cette étrange affaire, je dois vous présenter celui qui en est devenu, un peu malgré lui, le protagoniste. Son nom est Max Headroom.
Le public découvre Max Headroom en 1985, lorsqu’il devient l’animateur d’une émission musicale sur la télévision britannique. Il est alors présenté comme le « premier présentateur télé conçu par ordinateur »

The Kardashians Are Witches: a conspiracy thread
1.) This is a CONSPIRACY thread
2.) Nobody is forcing you to read it
3.) These are not my own ideas
4.) Info can easily be googled/youtubed
Okay so I know some people don't believe in witches at all but I personally do because we had them in my culture until at least the early 1900's & I've had an ancestor that's died from witchcraft

This happened last September and I never got a notice or email from @Smashwords

I'm glad they clarified the process, but I'm still confused by some stuff.
Only #Smashwords and #AmazonKindle allow step-relations?

I don't understand why.

Example is "In the Distance There is Light" by #HarperBliss

One of our WIPs is a reworking of Greek Mythology. GM has nearly all taboos, yet is carried everywhere!
Other markets are "officially" banning Bestiality, but let it slide under the name of Paranormal.

@smashwords (and Amazon, apparently) claims mermaids, werewolves, bigfoot, or aliens are NOT considered "Beastiality".

Le 28 mai 1987 à 12:21 (heure locale), Mathias Rust, un jeune pilote allemand qui n’a pas encore 19 ans, décolle de l’aéroport d'Helsinki-Vantaa (Finlande) dans son Cessna 172.

Pour la tour de contrôle, il va à Stockholm. #Thread
On ne peut pas dire que Rust soit un grand pilote — au total, il cumule 50 heures de vol — mais ça fait déjà quelques semaines qu’il se promène comme ça : les îles Féroés, l’Islande, Bergen… alors Stockholm, pourquoi pas ?
Notre pilote amateur s’élance donc comme prévu vers la mer Baltique mais, quelques minutes après son décollage et à la plus grande surprise du contrôle aérien, il vire plein Est. #WTF ?!

#MkUltra should terrify everyone.

available on the US SENATE website.

Following tweets will outline horrifying details of #CIA ABUSE in the 50s.

Governments are not beyond reprimand. They must be held accountable. @POTUS saved us all. #TheGreatAwakening #TheStormHasArrived
Project #MKUltra was the CIA program of research in behavioral modification.

Test subjects were not volunteers. They were unknowing US citizens from 86 universities/institutions.

#QAnon #TheStormHasArrived #research @POTUS
#MKUltra was comprised of 144 subcategories divided into 15 groups.

Limited information is available, pieced together from financial records. Why, you ask?

The CIA claimed “present practice [was] to maintain no records of the planning and approval of test programs.”

"What's the forecaste?" asked Faker Doobta.

Pat Riot looked up the billiards table, just about to hit the orange ball with the cue.

"It's overcaste," he replied, and hit the ball right into the pocket. "Although, there is some relief from bye-polls."

Ms Agro sniggered. 1/
"I believe it was the movie," she said, smiling at random strangers. "It should be broadcaste all over ______."

"My girlie," asked Riot, "did you watch the movie?"

"I did, and see what I have been reduced to."

"Reduced?" thought Faker, but he kept this thought to himself. 2/
"A perfect caste though," she continued. "The kohl-lined eyes of the progressive reformer, the disheveled locks of his hair..."

"Where's Raul Cornwall?" interrupted Riot, as Ms Agro went peculiarly dreamy-eyed.

Faker came to the rescue. "Still recovering from the avalanche." 3/

Most men that I know, men who respect women as equals, are shocked when allegations come out about people like #HarveyWeinstein, #BillCosby, #LouisCK. They are in shock when men they know are accused of sexually harassing or assaulting women. THREAD 1 #BelieveWomen #RWU #MeToo
Some men find it very hard to believe that these things are so common, because they would never DO those things. If I were a man and I hadn’t experienced harassment and inappropriate behavior multiple times, I would probably find it difficult to believe. 2 #MeToo #BelieveHer
I decided to share about what I’ve experienced, so that good men who respect women can start to understand that these things happen to women know they know, work with, are related to, and love, every day. Their friends, neighbors, coworkers, relatives. 3 #sexualharassment

Bueno, va! Imaginen un conflicto bilateral cualquiera. Un agresor sistemático y un agredido. Todo el mundo está seguro de su mediación

Parlons un peu du quartier Part Dieu, les projets, les travaux, les fermetures à venir. Vous trouvez que c'est compliqué en ce moment ?
Les travaux de déviation de réseaux ne sont qu'un amuse gueule 😱
Ceux qui trinquent le plus sont les piétons. Les cyclistes s'en sortent.
Pour les automobilistes, le quartier a toujours été compliqué.

Peter Subramani was sitting in a large, secret room inside a large Mushroom, and smiled as he looked at a large board on the large wall. 1/
The Mushroom had other large rooms too. A "Miracle Room" for training new #Subraminis to dance like demented monkeys for a miracle cure. 2/
A "Media Room" which sent simple messages to #Subraminis and their cohorts through #WTF so that they repeat these like demented parrots. 3/

Why is O'Malley still running? There is no way a white man will be either Hillary's (Castro) or Bernie's (Warren?) choice for VP. #DemDebate

Bill Clinton: I Made Criminal Justice ‘Worse’ thedailybeast.com/cheats/2015/07…
When Clinton signed this law, it was obvious what it'd do...how many has 3 strikes put in prison for life? How many has it disenfranchised?
And, now, Hillary will run on its repeal, to gain support amongst the communities its destroyed? And, Obama only commuted 40 sentences? #wtf
