I didn’t see it; I don’t always read all threads.

It is a very nifty vid, though.

Yes, you’ll see a lot of my comments there, lol.

I’m such a voracious reader, I read every thread that shows up unread. I can’t go a day without learning something, y’know?

i use the “I’m shocked” as much as I possibly can. It doesn’t hurt that I adore Claude Rains.

But the effort runs deeper than removing unflattering discussions online; it is shaping up as the historiographical equivalent of bulldozing a cemetery. Earlier this year, an official volume known as “A Short History of the Chinese Communist Party” was revised to limit discussion of the Great Leap Forward, Mao’s calamitous social and political campaign, which resulted in the worst famine in recorded history. (The previous rendering of the Great Leap Forward carried the admonition “This bitter historical lesson shouldn’t be forgotten.”) The revised history also removed a candid assessment of the Cultural Revolution, the decade of bloody chaos that Mao set in motion in 1966. In an article published in September in the journal China Quarterly , Patricia Thornton, a specialist in Chinese politics at Oxford, observed that the official history of this turmoil had been “replaced with an account that restricted its focus to highlighting various industrial, technological and diplomatic advances.”

Mr Macron wanted to bring back the navy blue flag, a symbol of the French Revolution, Europe 1 said. However, both the darker and lighter flags have been in use for decades.

France’s navy and many official buildings around the country have always used the navy blue shade. But in 1976 under President Giscard d’Estaing, the French state introduced a brighter blue on the tricolour to match the blue on the flag of Europe.
