The Life and Legacy of Emperor Franz Joseph of Austria-Hungary
Nearly 68 years on the throne makes Franz Joseph one of the longest-reigning monarchs in history. His rule began amidst revolution and ended during the upheavals of World War I. Exactly 100 years ago, in the midst of this tumult, he diedโa pivotal moment for the empire he led. Indy Neidell takes us through the complex life and legacy of this significant figure in history in this detailed biographical episode of The Great War.
Franz Joseph was born on August 18, 1830, into the Habsburg dynasty. His ascension to the throne occurred during a period of widespread political chaos triggered by the 1848 revolutions across Europe. These revolutionary waves upset traditional monarchies, with France witnessing the February Revolution, which saw Napoleon III rise to prominence initially as president, then as emperor.
His predecessor, Emperor Ferdinand, a weak ruler, was persuaded to abdicate by his ministers, including Felix Schwarzenberg, in favor of the young Franz Joseph, who was just 18 at the time. On December 2, 1848, he officially became Emperor of Austria, King of Hungary, Croatia, and other lands. His early reign was marked by a desire to preserve the empire amid revolts and nationalist movements.
Franz Joseph's first priority was consolidating his authority through military might. The Young Emperor believed that a strong army was essential for the survival of his empire, which was rife with ethnic tensions. His early years saw the suppression of revolutionary movements and the centralization of power in Vienna.
The defeat in the 1859 war against France and Sardinia at the Battle of Solferino prompted him to reconsider his stance on absolutism. Realizing that his neo-absolutist policies lacked the support of influential elites, Franz Joseph began negotiations with Hungary, which was restless under the empire's rule. This led to the Compromise of 1867, granting Hungary its own constitution and a significant degree of sovereignty while remaining part of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy.
Following the 1867 Austro-Hungarian Compromise, Franz Joseph adopted a more flexible approach, maneuvering between central authority and regional demands. He promoted the viribus unitis (with united forces) motto, emphasizing unity despite internal divisions, exemplified during his journeys across the empire, such as the notable Kaiserreise through Poland and Galicia in 1880. These trips aimed to cultivate a shared loyalty among the diverse nationalities, including Poles, Czechs, and others.
He also extended civil rights to the Jewish population amid increasing ethnic tensions and national awakening. However, his policies often reflected a cautious conservatism, and he failed to support the aspirations of groups like Romanians in Transylvania, whom he refused political power sharing despite their demands.
Despite his popularity among many, Franz Josephโs personal life was marred by tragedy: the death of his daughter, his mother, two brothers, and, most devastatingly, his son Rudolf in 1889, who committed suicide. The assassination of his wife, Elisabeth ("Sissi"), in 1898 further darkened his later years, leaving him increasingly isolated.
Franz Joseph's foreign policy was characterized by cautious conservatism. He saw Russia as a potential ally but was wary of Germany's rising power, especially Prussiaโs ambitions. The defeat in the Austro-Prussian War of 1866 shattered Austriaโs influence in Germany, stripping it of territories and its voice within the German Confederation.
He refused to engage in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, not wanting to antagonize France or further involve his empire in European conflicts. This reluctance to act decisively may have been a missed opportunity, as some historians debate whether Austria could have capitalized on the situation. His empire, meanwhile, grew increasingly dependent on Germanyโfirst through alliances and later as the dominant partner within the Dual Monarchy.
By the late 19th century, tensions over territories such as Bosnia and Herzegovina, occupied by Austria since 1878, fomented anti-Austrian sentiment, especially from Russia. Internal ethnic tensions also grew, with many minorities seeking greater autonomy, which Franz Joseph was often ill-equipped or unwilling to manage effectively.
Personal Struggles and Political Isolation
The emperorโs personal tragedies profoundly affected him. His daughter Elisabeth was murdered in 1898, his mother and brothers had died earlier, and his son Rudolfโs suicide devastated the royal family. His heir, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, was seen as a more liberal figure and a potential reformer, but Franz Joseph regarded him with suspicion and did not support his reformist ideas.
In the face of increasing unrest, Franz Joseph became more isolated politically. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo in 1914 triggered the July Crisis, leading to the outbreak of World War I. At that moment, the aging emperor had little support outside the military hierarchy; he depended heavily on his generals, particularly Chief of Staff Conrad von Hรถtzendorf, who repeatedly urged war against Serbia.
Despite multiple warnings and uncertain strategic positions, Franz Joseph finally issued an ultimatum to Serbia, igniting the conflict. During the war, he largely left military decisions to his generals but remained a symbol of unity for the diverse peoples of Austria-Hungary. He engaged in wartime efforts, supporting aid for widows, orphans, and war victims.
By late 1916, after nearly seven decades on the throne, Franz Josephโs health declined. On November 21, 1916, at the age of 89, he died of pneumonia. His passing marked the end of an era; the once-mighty Habsburg Empire was unravelling amidst the devastations of a war it had helped ignite.
Franz Joseph is remembered as a ruler of a bygone eraโstaunchly conservative, deeply religious, and dedicated to his duties. His policies suited the 19th century but proved inadequate for the modern, nationalist-driven 20th century. His resistance to political reform and modernization, combined with the empireโs mounting ethnic tensions, contributed to the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy after WWI.
His life, filled with personal tragedy and political complexities, exemplifies the struggles of a ruler caught between tradition and the demands of an increasingly tumultuous world. As a symbol of monarchic stability during turbulent times, his legacy continues to evoke debate among historians, reflecting on what might have been had he adopted a different approach.
Franz Josephโs reign was marked by immense stability, but also by significant missed opportunities and internal contradictions. His leadership, rooted in 19th-century ideals, ultimately could not withstand the revolutionary pressures that reshaped Europe. His death, exactly a century ago, symbolized the end of an epochโone characterized by an empire that was consolidating its nationalist fractures and preparing to vanish into history.

My rheumathoid arthrithis is not getting better. took my 4th shot of roactemra yesterday, so far I have not experienced a lot of change. I should do a blood test next week, then we will see how my organs are reacting to the new meds. I can't use my right hand the wrist is swollen. the middle finger feels broken but it just swollen too and inflamed. The pinky finger is swollen in the middle joint as well but is less painful. Unfortunately I feel the pain coming back in my foot as well just like a year ago when this whole ordeal started. 1/2 https://img.leopedia.io/DQmdNwqcLi2Wrt6GTq3mT6ijTFoXChr5CVDsLXt71ed5H56/Mittel%20(IMG_3512).jpeg
At this point I would totally just fucking cut off my right arm above the elbow which I can not use since inception of the illness and just get a fucking robotarm. I would pay 1000000 to have one night of painless sleep.
This illness is not terminal but it is a death sentence to my career in film. to my career as an actor to my career as an electrician on set. I can not even fucking brush my teeth properly which also starts to show. Even worse if I go to the dentist I have to pause my meds and get antibiotics to prevent infections. Only after the treatment ended can I start again with whatever meds I will get by then. life is fucked up sometimes and nothing is more important than your health.
I lost that for life. Now I gotta live with this shit and only can hope that some treatment will give me at least a little relief.
I've seen some internet stuff say that arthritis might be a food allergy, particularly gluten or processed stuff. Supposedly it kicks off the immune response. And, of course, we can believe everything we read on the web.
mine is rheumathoid arthrithis a rare autoimmune disease. It canโt be healed and it doesnโt really matter what I eat. I would consider my diet a healthy one
The End of an Era: The Passing of Emperor Franz Joseph and a Tumultuous Week in World War I
Long Reign of Emperor Franz Joseph
Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria-Hungary had been a towering figure in European history, reigning for an extraordinary 68 yearsโthe second-longest among European monarchs after Louis XIV. Ascending to the throne in 1848 at a surprisingly young age, Franz Joseph witnessed profound changes across Europe, including cultural, social, and industrial shifts. His rule endured through times of upheaval, including the tumultuous years of the early 20th century.
However, his long reign came to an end in November 1916, a week marked by both personal and geopolitical upheavals. His death on November 21st at age 86 sent shockwaves through the empire he had stewarded for nearly seven decades. Surviving him was his grand-nephew, Karl, a youthful 29-year-old who would now be tasked with steering the empire through the stormy waters of World War I.
Despite suffering from bronchitis, Franz Joseph continued working until his final moments, expressing a routine desire for his usual early morning awakening before his death. His passing was not just a personal loss but a symbolic end to an eraโa period that defined the stability and grandeur of Austria-Hungary. His life was marked by active military service, including commanding on the Italian front, yet he was notably a proponent of peace and cautious in his approach to war.
The new ruler, Karl I, inherited a fragile empire embroiled in a brutal war that had claimed millions of lives. His immediate concern was the war effort in Romania, where military decisions made by his generals had dire consequences. The decision to fight at all costs, including devastating resistance in Transylvania, reflected the tense and desperate circumstances faced by Austria-Hungary.
One of the bloodiest chapters of World War I, the Battle of the Somme, concluded this week after nearly five months of relentless combat. Since its start on July 1, 1916, the battle had become a symbol of the warโs brutality, with staggering casualties: approximately 146,000 British and 164,000 German soldiers killed or wounded, according to estimates by historian Martin Gilbert. When combining all forms of casualtiesโkilled, wounded, missing, and prisonersโthe toll surpassed one million.
The final offensive on November 18th saw the Allies push forward under harsh winter conditions, making limited gains in snow and mud. Among the soldiers was Lieutenant Bernard Freiberg, who earned the Victoria Cross for bravery during the battle. Severely injured, Freiberg was placed in a near-death tent but later recalled a mysterious voice that guided his evacuationโa voice that, decades later, he recognized as Captain S. S. Grieves, the man who had previously saved him on the battlefield.
The aftermath of the Somme marked an end to one of the warโs most grueling campaigns, and both sides prepared for further assaults in 1917. The staggering death toll underscored the warโs unprecedented brutality and the relentless advance of machine guns and artillery, which claimed the lives of many within minutes. The grim statistics highlighted the horror of trench warfare and the high human cost of this global conflict.
While the Western Front saw a temporary lull, the Eastern Front and the Balkans roared with activity. In Romania, German and Austro-Hungarian forces advanced despite fierce resistance, capturing key cities like Crazova and beginning a strategic retreat for Romanian troops, aimed at delaying the enemy by destroying critical transportation links.
Meanwhile, the Balkan front saw shifts as well. The city of Monastir, in the heart of modern-day North Macedonia, was recaptured by Allied forcesโFrench, Serbian, and Russian troopsโwho had been driven out by German and Bulgarian forces earlier in the war. The surrender of Monastir symbolized the ongoing contest in the Balkans, where Allies sought to maintain footholds amidst the wider chaos.
In naval developments, the ocean liner Brittany, repurposed as a hospital ship, was torpedoed in the Aegean Sea on November 21st, resulting in the loss of 30 lives. The sinking drew attention to the warโs impact on civilian maritime traffic. Additionally, German diplomatic and military leadership saw changes; Arthur Zimmermann was appointed as Germany's new Foreign Minister, while Greece's government declared war on Germany and Bulgaria under the leadership of Eleftherios Venizelos, seeking alignments with the Allies.
The death of Franz Joseph led to a major shift in Austria-Hungary's leadership. Crown Prince Karl assumed the throne amid the ongoing war and national crisis. His leadership was expected to be differentโmore modern and possibly more inclined toward peaceโbut the war's destructive momentum made immediate peace unlikely. Historically, Karl was reputed to be a man of peace, but as a monarch caught in the midst of a continent-wide conflict, his options were limited.
The warโs toll continued to climb with tragic precision. The Battle of Verdun, another one of the deadliest clashes, saw casualties nearing 600,000 over nine months of combatโpart of a series of colossal battles that collectively resulted in staggering death tolls, often exceeding a million casualties when considering wounded and missing soldiers.
In a broader context, technological innovations, especially the machine gun, revolutionized warfare. The death toll from rapid machine gun fire became a symbol of modern industrialized slaughter. The week saw the death of Hiram Maxim, the inventor of the machine gun, further highlighting the warโs technological and human costs.
Amidst ongoing battles, political shifts were underway across Europe. On November 20th, Greece formally declared war on Germany and Bulgaria, aligning more closely with the Allies. In Russia, Tsarist political tensions persisted, with figures like Alexander Tretapov emerging as conservative cabinet members opposed to the influence of Rasputinโan emblem of internal discord that would soon lead to revolutionary upheavals.
Furthermore, the sinking of ships like the Brittany and the ongoing troop movements across Europe reflected an increasingly interconnected and destructive global conflict. These events set the stage for further military and political upheavals in the coming months.
This pivotal week marked a period of profound change and loss. The death of Franz Joseph symbolized the end of an imperial epoch, while the military campaigns across the Western and Eastern Fronts underscored the war's relentless brutality. The battles of the Somme and Verdun, which claimed hundreds of thousands of lives each, epitomized the warโs horrific human toll.
As the war progressed into its second year, the global conflict continued to reshape nations, alliances, and the very fabric of civilization. The week also hinted at political realignments and emerging frontlines that would influence the war's outcome. Even amid tragedy, the resilience and determination of the wartime nations set the stage for a future where the world would grapple with the consequences of unprecedented violence and upheaval.

The Life and Legacy of Sidney Reilly: The First Modern Spy
Spying has long captured our imagination, whether through secret agent movies, thrillers, or novels. From the debonair charm of James Bond to the shadowy intrigue of Mata Hari, espionage has always fascinated us. Yet, behind these stories lie real figures who have significantly shaped the evolution of intelligence work. One such figure is Sidney Reilly, often regarded as one of the first modern spies and an inspiration for Ian Fleming's James Bond.
Unraveling Reilly's true background is a challenge riddled with inconsistencies. Descriptions of his physical appearance vary across sources, and he himself often reinvented his identity and history. Some accounts suggest he was born in 1874 to a Russian mother of Polish descent and a Russian army officer with ties to the Tsarโs court. Other claims claim he came from aristocratic Irish roots. In reality, we know for certain that he was born in 1874 to a Polish mother and a Russian Jewish father named Rosenblum.
As a youth, Reilly was involved in espionage activities, working as a courier for a Marxist-leaning group called "Friends of Enlightenment." His activities led to imprisonment in Russia. Upon release, he discovered that his mother had died and that he was the son of an affair between his mother and her Jewish doctor Rosenblumโa revelation that would profoundly influence his life.
From Russia to South America: Reinventing Identity
Disillusioned and embittered by his heritage, Sigmund Rosenblum (as he was then known) emigrated secretly to South America aboard a British ship, posing as a Brazilian named Pedro. During his time there, he undertook various odd jobsโfrom working on plantations and construction sites to dock work. His defining moment came when he served as a cook for a British expedition into the jungle, where he saved crew members from a native attack, earning the gratitude of Major Charles Fothergill, a British spy.
Fothergill, recognizing Reillyโs talent, helped him acquire a passport and facilitated his move to Britain. It was in the UK that Rosenblum adopted the alias Sidney Reilly, shedding his previous identities and cultivating a charismatic persona. He was fluent in multiple languages, including Russian, English, Portuguese, German, Polish, French, and Japanese, which made him an invaluable asset in the espionage arena.
Reillyโs career with the British Secret Service began around 1896, and by the early 1900s, he was operating across Russia and the Far East. During the Russo-Japanese War (1904โ1905), he became a double agent, working simultaneously for Britain and Japan. His intelligence was instrumental; for example, he provided the Japanese with navigational details that allowed their torpedo boats to attack Russian ships effectively at Port Arthur.
His talents extended beyond mere information gathering. Reilly was a master of forging opportunitiesโtaking on various jobs to gain access to critical strategic plans. He worked at a German munitions plant in Russia, stealing blueprints and killing guards to secure valuable intelligence about German naval designs. His efforts paid off, especially as Europe converged towards war, making him one of the most effective and daring spies of his era.
Reillyโs lavish lifestyle in Petrograd mirrored that of a fictional spy straight out of a novel. He resided in expensive apartments, accumulated art collections, and moved in elite circles. His ability to speak multiple languages and his charm allowed him to blend seamlessly across cultures and social classes. His operations extended into the United States, where he worked to secure American munitions for Russia during World War I.
He also undertook dangerous assignments, such as infiltrating German high command by disguising himself as a German officer to gather tactical information. His audacity was unmatched; he executed operations that bordered on the reckless, including a daring plan to get British oil rights in Persia by impersonating a priest and persuading a key industry figure to transfer rights to British interests.
Reillyโs intelligence efforts had a massive, though often underappreciated, impact on global politics. He almost single-handedly thwarted the Bolshevik revolution of 1918, planning to arrest Leninโs leadership at a crucial juncture. Unfortunately, his plan was foiled when an assassinโs attempt on Leninโs life triggered a crackdown that exposed Reillyโs conspiracy.
His complex dealings with clandestine groups, including his effort to forge alliances with revolutionary leaders like Felix Dzerzhinsky of the Soviet secret police, ultimately led to his downfall. Believing he could manipulate the Soviet leadership, Reilly offered his services as a double agent; however, he was betrayed and captured by Soviet agents, who accused him of espionage and conspiracy.
Reillyโs fate remains shrouded in mystery. While official reports suggest he was executed in 1925 during an attempt to escape to Finland, his body was never conclusively recovered. His death marked the end of a daring espionage career that stretched across continents and conflicts, leaving behind a legacy of intrigue, cleverness, and audacity.
His influence extended beyond his lifetimeโIan Fleming, the creator of James Bond, drew inspiration from Reillyโs exploits and dossiers. Reillyโs life was filled with legend, overlapping fact and fiction, and his actions arguably altered the course of history. His efforts helped suppress Bolshevism and shape early 20th-century geopolitics.
Sidney Reilly was indeed a true espionage legendโtalented, daring, and ruthless. His exploits pushed the boundaries of what was possible in intelligence work, and his legacy continues to inspire spy thrillers and real-world espionage practitioners alike. His story encapsulates the complexity, danger, and glamour associated with the clandestine world of spies.

Nah, I donโt see Michael Saylor as the Sam Bankman-Fried of this bull run. Saylorโs a Bitcoin maximalist building value through MicroStrategy, while SBFโs story was about deception and collapse at FTX. Totally different vibes and outcomes
I don't know man. I get flim flam man vibes from Saylor just like I did from SBF. Saylor has been lying recently about not selling, and then selling. I think he will be gradually exposed as more and more of a liar as time goes on.
I get why you might feel that way, but I havenโt seen solid evidence of Saylor lying about selling Bitcoin. MicroStrategyโs holdings are public, and while heโs sold stock personally, their BTC strategy seems consistent for now
I see your point about the stock sales. From what I've read, Saylor did announce plans to sell MicroStrategy shares, like back in January for $216M. Itโs public info, though the optics might rub some the wrong way
True, I bet the seasons made a huge difference. I'm guessing winter was all about staying warm and maintaining the fire, while summer might've meant more outdoor work. What do you think were the biggest seasonal shifts in their routine?
The far north is a dark winter and being inside much of the time, the light long summers probably outside almost all the time. Plenty of drinking and pillaging all the time wherever they were though
Yeah, I bet the long, dark winters kept them cooped up with storytelling and mead, while those endless summer days were perfect for raiding and farming. The drinking and pillaging definitely seems like a constant though
I love the creativity of it.
And I love how ignorant some people are, thinking that other countries actually took the word from english and not the other eay around.

California's Reflection on Liberation Day and the Fight for Democracy
A Call to Action in the Face of Political Provocation
On this day, designated as Liberation Day in California, the stateโs leaders are reflecting on the ongoing struggles to safeguard democracy amidst mounting political tensions. Senator Adam Schiff delivered a fiery speech emphasizing the importance of standing firm against perceived threats to democratic processes.
He highlighted the provocative actions of former President Donald Trump, framing his behavior as an intentional effort to "poke the bear" and manipulate the system. Schiff warned that Trumpโs attempts to influence elections and redraw boundaries are blatant efforts to "rig the system"โactions that undermine the integrity of American democracy.
Schiff underscored that Trump does not adhere to the traditional rules of politics, suggesting he operates outside the established norms. This acknowledgment calls for a reassessment of how the nation responds to such challenges. The speaker emphasized that incremental gesturesโlike candlelight vigils or symbolic protestsโare insufficient in confronting systemic issues. Instead, he argued for a more proactive approach: "meet fire with fire" and hold elected officials to a higher standard of accountability.
Responding to Specific Incidents and Broader Threats
The speech referenced a direct incident where a U.S. president allegedly contacted a governor in Texas with a demand to "find me five seats," exemplifying what Schiff described as an erosion of democratic norms. Such actions are viewed as attempts to undermine fair electoral processes, and the response must be equally resolute.
The broader concern extends beyond individual events; it encompasses a nationwide trend of gerrymandering and voter suppression efforts. Schiff pointed to recent examples across the countryโincluding Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, and Floridaโwhere political figures have engaged in aggressive redistricting or election interference.
While rooted in Californiaโs tradition of independent redistrictingโimplemented through a commission that has promoted fair representationโSchiff asserted that the state cannot act alone in defending democracy. The stakes are too high.
Californiaโs leadership emphasizes-model behavior rooted in principles of fairness and integrity. Yet, the broader fight requires collective action from all states, particularly those with political leanings similar to Californiaโs. The goal is to prevent democracy from โdisappearing district by district,โ a threat that endangers the foundational principles of American governance.
Concluding his remarks, Schiff emphasized the importance of unity and resolve among other blue states to counteract these threats. The fight for democracy isn't limited to one region but is a nationalโand indeed, continentalโchallenge.
In essence, Californiaโs Liberation Day serves as both a reflection on past struggles and a rallying cry to remain vigilant. Leaders like Schiff call for a firm stanceโdisarming the system's manipulations without lowering standards of accountability. Only through collective effort and unwavering commitment can democracy be preserved for future generations.
The Turbulent Year of 1916: A Deep Dive into the Battle of the Somme and Eastern Fronts
A Year of Strategic Shifts and Military Hardships
The year 1916 proved to be one of the most pivotal and bloodiest periods of World War I. As the conflict raged across multiple fronts, armies faced both innovative warfare and longstanding logistical challenges. The latest analysis sheds light on the intricacies of the Battle of the Somme, the shifting alliances in Eastern Europe, and the turbulent political landscape in Greece.
The Battle of the Somme: A Clash of Firepower and Weather
The Somme campaign, conducted by the British and French armies against the Germans, marked one of the warโs most infamous battles. Despite advantages like considerable air support and a massive artillery barrage, the Allies often struggled to translate firepower into decisive gains.
One crucial factor was the weather; even in summer, persistent clouds and rain hampered air operations, preventing aircraft from effectively directing artillery fire and assessing enemy positions. Additionally, the fire discipline and targeting inefficienciesโfire that shot millions of shells but often failed to hit strategic pointsโhighlighted the limitations of artillery tactics. The British artillery alone fired approximately 19 million shells, averaging about 150,000 per day, yet aimed mainly at trenches and machine gun positions, which proved difficult to destroy with accuracy from artillery alone.
Furthermore, the battle's result was heavily influenced by leadership decisions. General Douglas Haig's strategic choices, such as setting the battle plan, resource allocation, and timing of attacks, drew significant criticism. His belief in achieving decisive breakthroughs through massive assaults contrasted sharply with the reality of attritional warfare, where prolonged trench fighting and muddy terrain led to immense casualties with little territorial gain.
The high command struggled with coordination and strategic vision. Notably, more cautious commanders like Lieutenant General Hugh Gough and the more innovative but ultimately indecisive Lieutenant General Henry Rawlinson exhibited differing approaches, with some advocating for aggressive offensive tactics while others emphasized cautious attrition.
Despite the technological advancementsโsuch as the use of tanks and aircraftโthese tools did not promptly deliver the breakthroughs hoped for. Haig, driven by Napoleonic illusions, continued to assume that rapid cavalry-style charges and breakthrough tactics would win the war. This optimism persisted even as the human cost mounted.
Historians Robin Pryor and Trevor Wilson criticize the British General Staff for neglecting efficient planning and overestimating the impact of their strategic efforts. They argue that the battle failed to achieve its intended objectives, such as diverting German forces from Verdun or breaking the stalemate on the Western Front, despite claims to the contrary.
The Eastern Front: Code Red for Romania and the Balkans
Meanwhile, in Eastern Europe, the British and French were embroiled in complex military operations and political upheavals. The Romanian front saw initial successes with breakthroughs in Transylvania, aided by German supply issues and slow advances in the mountains. However, the situation rapidly deteriorated as the Germans and Bulgarians counterattacked.
By late October, Romania's defenses had fractured. The Romanian Second Army, under Alexander Aferlu, faced fierce resistance along the southern front but was gradually pushed back. Romanian forces defending Bucharest attempted to hold out amid advancing German and Bulgarian troops, spearheaded by General Conrad Krafth of the German Third Army, who reported significant breakthroughs and the capture of key positions.
A critical development unfolded in Greece, where internal divisions threatened to spill into open conflict. The country was effectively split: pro-German monarchists aligned with King Constantine opposed the Allied landing at Piraeus and the movement of Allied troops toward the Bulgarian front. The occupation of the Greek capital and the subsequent clashes between pro-Allied and pro-German factions foreshadowed unrest that would ripple through the country.
The Allied intervention in Greece, aiming to secure strategic positions and resupply the Serbian front, was met with stiff resistance from the royalist government. When British, French, and Italian forces landed in Thessaloniki and Athens, they encountered not only political hostility but also active military opposition from the royalist forces loyal to King Constantine.
In late October, the Allies faced a setback when their forces attempted to move supplies and reinforce the Salonica front but were hindered by Greek royalist forces, leading to skirmishes and moments of open conflict. While the Allies initially believed they could persuade Greece to join the Entente formally, the internal division persisted, casting doubt on Greece's ability to remain neutral or to side clearly with the Allies.
Throughout 1916, the war's complexity was compounded by shifting alliances, challenging logistics, and evolving military technology. While the Western Front centered on grinding attrition, the Eastern Front saw efforts to exploit breakthroughs amid logistical hurdles and political upheaval. The Battle of the Somme exemplified the brutal slog of trench warfare, emphasizing the untapped potential of technological innovations like tanks and airplanes, which, however, were not yet game-changers.
The political dimension, especially in countries like Greece and Romania, proved equally critical. The impact of internal dissent and foreign influence threatened to destabilize entire nations just as they faced existential threats from external enemies.
Conclusion: A War of Attrition and Political Turmoil
The year 1916 encapsulates the agony, complexity, and chaos of the First World War. Despite technological strides and strategic plans, commanders on all sides grappled with weather, terrain, and political ambiguity. The Battle of the Somme remains a stark reminder of the futility and human cost of war, while the Eastern Front demonstrated how logistical and political issues could alter the war's trajectory.
As the war continued into its third year, the outlook remained bleak for many nations, with internal divisions, technological limitations, and strategic miscalculations shaping an uncertain future. Humanityโs brutal experience in 1916 underscores the devastating reality of modern warfare, a lesson still pertinent today.

Unveiling the Past: Insights into World War I Archaeology in Bolimow, Poland
In a captivating special episode from Bolimow, Poland, Indy Neidell hosts a fascinating discussion on the archaeology of World War I, bringing viewers into an often-overlooked aspect of historical research. Sitting in the so-called Chair of Wisdomโa fitting title for such a deep dive into historyโNeidell is joined by two dedicated archaeologists specializing in WWI excavations: Andrzej Pewniak and Tomek Mysliwiec.
Bolimow holds a pivotal place in the history of chemical warfare during the First World War. The town was the site of the first use of gas by German forces on the Eastern Front. Between January 31 and July 7, 1915, Bolimow witnessed multiple gas attacks, including those utilizing xylyl bromide and chlorine gas.
Notably, the initial attack in late January was ineffective primarily due to the cold weather, which hindered the gas's dispersal. Interestingly, the combat conditions paradoxically aided the Germans when they captured the Russian trenches, where the fire from burning trenches created higher temperatures, making the gas more effective. Alongside these, the Germans suffered their own casualties from chemical exposure, illustrating the chaotic and hazardous nature of early gas warfare.
Though the use of tear gas by the French predates this, the release of more lethal, poisoning gases didn't occur until later in 1915, marking a grim escalation in warfare technology.
The Role and Methods of WWI Archaeologists
The archaeologists in Bolimow clarify their roles aren't confined to simple digging. Instead, their work involves a meticulous process that begins with collecting diverse sources of dataโranging from war diaries, regimental chronicles, and historical documents to modern technological tools like laser terrain scanning.
Diaries and reports, in multiple languages, offer insight into battles fought on these grounds. As Poland was under partition during WWI, Poles fought on both sides, complicating the historical record. The teamโs specialists also delve into local narratives, deciphering Polish, German, and Russian accounts to build a comprehensive picture of the battlefield.
Choice of Bolimow
Their research focus on Bolimow was initiated by Professor Anna Zaleswska, a leading figure in modern WWI archaeology. Her vision arose from the recognition that WWI remains underexplored in Poland, partly due to the nationโs turbulent history and years of occupation by neighboring powers. This project aims to fill a significant gap, shedding light on Polandโs own battlefield history.
The archaeological endeavors in Bolimow span several sites, including forested areas and agricultural fields. Forest sites often preserve surface-visible structures like trenches and dugouts, whereas fieldsโbeing disturbed historically by farmingโsometimes better retain archaeological footprints beneath the surface.
Excavation Process
Archaeologists employ geophysical surveys and careful excavation techniques, progressing in trenches typically no more than 10 to 15 meters long, to minimize ground disturbance. They methodically remove soil, paying particular attention to darker stratified layers where remnants of war are often preserved.
Findings range from weapons, ammunition casings, and personal artifacts to the unsettling discovery of human remainsโsometimes just bones, other times partial skeletons. The excavation of a grave containing parts of at least seven soldiers revealed the gruesome aftermath of battlefield chaos.
Interestingly, some remains are fragmentaryโlegs, arms, skullsโsuggesting the way battlefield cleaning and disease prevention measures of the era influenced burial practices. In some cases, remnants like bones or parts of corpses show signs of post-battle disposal, with incomplete skeletons reflecting the disorganized nature of wartime burials.
The archaeologists emphasize the difficulty of working carefully amidst remnants that can be over a century old. They highlight the importance of patience and precision when excavating human remains and artifacts that risk damage in hurried or careless digging.
The soil coloration offers clues: darker hues indicate disturbed or filled-in trenches, while natural light soils mark undisturbed areas. Their expertise ensures safe and respectful retrieval of bones and relics, contributing not just to our understanding of military history but also to human stories buried beneath the surface.
The team manages multiple excavation sites, balancing their work with ongoing research. They are an expanding group, with a core team of ten members and additional collaborators, adapting their efforts seasonally.
Looking ahead, they plan to continue their work in Bolimow and possibly extend to other battlefields, driven by the desire to uncover more about Poland's role in WWI. The project is viewed as a potential milestone in Polish war history, raising awareness and knowledge about a war that, despite its global impact, remains relatively unknown in Poland itself.
One of the more somber aspects highlighted during the interview is the encounter with human remains. Finding bones or incomplete skeletons evokes a visceral connection to those who fought and died there. For the archaeologists, this is a normal part of their work, conducted with respect and care, recognizing the lives and stories tied to each fragment.
The discovery of graves where only parts of bodiesโor merely bonesโare found reveals the brutal and chaotic nature of war. Such findings underscore the importance of archaeology not just as a science but as a memorial, ensuring that these soldiers' sacrifices are not forgotten.
Indy Neidell concludes the interview in his characteristic enthusiastic manner, expressing gratitude and anticipation for future discoveries. The work in Bolimow exemplifies how archaeological methods can illuminate aspects of history often obscured by time, providing tangible links to the soldiers and battles of WWI.
This undertaking in Poland stands as a testament to the evolving field of battlefield archaeologyโcombining traditional excavation techniques with modern technologyโto piece together stories from a war that reshaped the world. As these archaeologists continue their work, they offer invaluable insights into the battlefield's physical and human history, reminding us of the enduring importance of remembrance and understanding.

It's a surprise to find a movie this short (1.30 hours) with this much soundtracks (about 9 songs, I think) to give viewers a better experience. #outreach #threadstorm #music

I feel the "China-plus-one" strategy is one the biggest moves in balancing efficiency and resilience in the business and supply chain industry. The events of the pandemic further validates this. The dependency on China is simply too much!
Totally get why the pandemic highlighted the risks of over-reliance on China. Still, seems like many companies just doubled down there instead of diversifying. Kinda defeats the whole "plus one" idea, right?
true, there's always that loophole of non-compliance. What's you've said is very valid. They'll still suffer the consequences in times of supply chain shocks, geopolitical conflicts and tariffs.
The Shifting Tides of World War I: A Weekly Breakdown
As 1916 draws towards its conclusion, the war landscape continues to evolve rapidly, marked by territorial gains, political turmoil, and strategic failures. This weekโs updates reveal a complex picture of military setbacks and political upheavals across the involved nations.
The Stalemate and Territorial Gains on the Western Front
The Allies, also known as the Entente Powers, have begun clinching victories across various fronts, but still have yet to capture a single enemy capital. Notable advances include the seizure of Brussels, Belgrade, Cattaneo, and Duras โ with this week witnessing the fall of another crucial city, Bucharest. The fall of Romaniaโs capital signifies a significant territorial loss, yet the Allies have achieved success elsewhere.
In the Balkans, the front lines are fraught with intense combat. Romanian forces, under General Constantin Prezan, are tasked with defending Bucharest against three advancing enemy armies, including German, Bulgarian, and Turkish troops. Prezanโs plan involves blocking these assaults with Romanian divisions positioned in the north and northwest, while facing a weakened city defense outside the urban center itself.
Bucharestโs fortifications are outdated, and with artillery removed, the city itself lacks formidable defenses. The only physical barrier is the Argjes River, situated 20 km west of the city, where Romanian forces recently attacked the flank of German General August von Mackensenโs advancing units. Meanwhile, Allied cooperation with Russia is strained by logistical issues, although Russia has pledged four armies and three cavalry divisions to aid Romania.
German and Bulgarian forces, along with Ottoman troops, have made significant gains in the region. They cut off Romanian troopsโ retreat, capturing thousands of prisoners and large quantities of artillery โ 24,000 prisoners, 30 guns, and thousands of machine guns within days. By December 6, Bucharest fell into enemy hands, a blow that carries political weight more than strategic.
German military leaders, notably Erich von Falkenhayn, celebrated the victory with nationwide cheers, and the cityโs fall was a psychological milestone. The Romanian government, aware of the cityโs limited strategic value but its symbolism, evacuated to Yasi, marking the official abandonment of Bucharest two weeks earlier. Meanwhile, efforts to prevent oil stocks from falling into Allied hands intensify, with British forces sabotaging key oil refineries at Ploieศti, destroying vast quantities of fuel and raw materials critical to Romaniaโs war effort.
The Political and Military Turmoil in Greece and the Entente Response
Greece remains volatile. The pro-Entente government in Athens faces violence and repression, including a bloody massacre on December 6 targeting supporters of Eleftherios Venizelos, the liberal premier who had aligned Greece with the Allies. Now controlled by royalist forces, Athens effectively nullifies Venizelosโ declaration of war against the Central Powers.
The Allies respond by imposing a naval blockade on Greece starting December 8, aiming to secure control over the Eastern Mediterraneanโs submarine cables and strategic islands such as Sikros and the Cyclades. The Royalist forces have also attacked Thessaloniki, forcing the Allied commander in the region to prepare for possible counterattacks and to cut off contact with Monastir.
In the midst of battlefield chaos, the broader stalemate persists โ the Germans and their allies continue to grind down Romanian and Russian resistance, while the Allies attempt to hold positions on multiple fronts and maintain supply lines amid wartime hardships.
The Eastern Front and Russian Political Struggles
Meanwhile, political upheaval continues in Russia. On December 2, Prime Minister Alexander Trepov announced in the Duma that the Allies had recognized Russiaโs future control over Constantinople and the Dardanelles after victory. The declaration drew jeers and protests, with opposition vocal against perceived political interference and corruption, notably targeting Interior Minister Pyotr Polovtsovโa figure linked to Rasputin.
Efforts to dismiss Polovtsov faltered when the Tsarโs wife and Rasputin intervened, preserving his position temporarily. This turmoil reflects the broader instability troubling Russia, which is struggling to mobilize its resources effectively against the Central Powers.
Political Changes and Leadership Challenges in Britain and Beyond
Back in Britain, leadership shifts continue at high levels. Herbert Asquith resigned as Prime Minister on December 4, replaced by David Lloyd George on the 7th. Lloyd George, recognized by Winston Churchill as the only capable leader capable of guiding Britain through the war, faces the daunting prospect of delivering victory amidst mounting casualties and deepening strategic challenges.
Military leadership also sees changes, with Admirals such as John Jellicoe assuming key positions to manage naval operations. The British navy remains central to the war effort, especially given the submarine threat that complicates maritime logistics for the Allied forces.
The Grim Reality of War and the Future Outlook
One of the most striking aspects of the weekโs reports is the ongoing scale of casualties and tactical failures. The Battle of the Somme, often cited as the most devastating engagement of the war, resulted in nearly one million casualties over just five months. British Prime Minister Lloyd George criticizes commanders like General Haig for recklessness with soldiersโ lives, emphasizing the need for strategic reconsideration.
The warโs future remains bleak. With Russia retreating, Romania collapsing, and significant Ottoman and Balkan setbacks, the Allies grapple with the loss of momentum. Further battles akin to the Somme threaten to produce even greater casualties, and the question looms: how long can the stalemate last? Will the Western Front see more massive offensives or a shift toward different strategies?
This weekโs events underscore the turbulent state of World War I in late 1916. Territorial losses like Bucharest, mounting political dissent, and waning morale reflect the warโs brutal realities. Yet, thereโs also resilience โ the stalemate on the Western Front and the symbolically significant hold on Athens demonstrate that despite setbacks, the conflict continues to unfold with relentless intensity.
The warโs outcome remains uncertain, but as nations shuffle leadership and territories change hands, one truth is clear: the endgame is still distant, and the toll continues to rise dramatically.

The Siege of Pลกemisl: A Brief Recap of the Battles and Their Significance in World War I
The series of battles surrounding the fortress of Pลกemisl during 1914 and 1915 played a pivotal role in the Eastern Front of World War I. These sieges exemplify the brutal and complex nature of the war, with armies entangled in a struggle of attrition, strategic shifts, and desperate attempts at victory.
The Beginning of the Conflict: Early Encounters and Initial Failures
In the early weeks of the war, Russian forces suffered significant defeats at Tannenberg and the Masurian Lakes, setting an ominous tone for the Eastern Front. Despite these setbacks, the Russian High Command, under General Ivanov, was determined to turn the tide. With an impressive force of 60 divisions, Ivanov headed toward the fortress of Pshรซmisl, located in what was then Austria-Hungary.
Austria-Hungary, already battered and humiliated after their defeats in Serbia, faced internal doubts about the strength of their army. Many of their weapons were outdatedโsome artillery pieces were obsoleteโwhile their soldiers relied on black powder muskets that had been in use for decades. The forests surrounding Pลกemisl had not been cleared, providing the defending Austro-Hungarian troops with ample cover, further complicating Russian assault efforts.
By late September 1914, Ivanov launched a massive frontal attack on Pลกemisl, incurring enormous losses estimated at around 40,000 casualties. The assault was costly and unsuccessful, prompting Ivanov to reassess his strategy. Instead of continuing direct assaults, he decided to encircle the fortress, transforming it into an island in the midst of the Russian advance.
This siege lasted only a few weeks, but it was a fierce contest. The Russian forces laid siege to the Austrian defenders, who found themselves cut off and surroundedโa defensive "island" amidst the vast Russian landscape.
Austrian General Svetozar Borojeviฤ, recognized as one of their capable commanders, orchestrated a daring breakout that liberated approximately 120,000 Austro-Hungarian soldiers trapped within the fortress. Recognizing the potential to inflict a decisive blow, Austrian high command, including Chief of Staff Konrad von Hรถtzendorf, believed that a combined effort could defeat the Russians and secure a victory in the region.
In a misguided move, Hรถtzendorf ordered troops outside the fortress to attack Ivanov's forces, resulting in severe losses for Austria. These failed assaults were repeated at Ivangorod and other locations, ultimately forcing the Austro-Hungarians to retreat and come under siege once more. By late 1914, Pลกemisl was once again encircled by Russian forces, effectively making it an Austrian island in a sea of Russians.
The Second Siege and the Broader Military Context
Throughout October 1914, Russian advances persisted, pushing into the Carpathian Mountains. Austria sought to counterattack but was decisively defeated in December, losing ground in both the Carpathians and Serbia, where they were pushed entirely out of Serbian territory.
The wider geopolitical landscape was tense, with countries like Romania and Italy contemplating joining the war against Austria-Hungary to gain territory. In response, Hรถtzendorf launched three winter offensives in the Carpathians, aiming to lift the siege of Pลกemisl and demonstrate Austriaโs military resilience. These offensives, however, ended in disaster, costing the Austro-Hungarian army approximately 800,000 lives without achieving their goal.
By March 1915, the situation was dire. The siege of Pลกemisl deprived the Austro-Hungarian troops of hope, leading to their surrender. The Russian army, having shifted focus, moved to confront German and Austrian forces elsewhere, making it possible for them to redirect forces and intensify their offensive.
On May 1, 1915, the Germans, under General August von Mackensen, launched the Gorlice-Tarnรณw Offensive. This massive operation utilized over a thousand heavy artillery pieces, devastating the enemy lines across extensive areas. The German surge pushed through rural Poland toward Pลกemisl, recapturing the fortress by early June after intense fighting.
By the end of May, the German and Austrian forces enveloped Pลกemisl from multiple directionsโBavarians under General Kneusl advanced from the north, and other units attacked from the south and southwest. The Russian defenders, overwhelmed, retreated overnight on June 2, 1915, marking the end of the sieges of Pลกemisl in 1914 and 1915.
The battles around Pลกemisl exemplify the brutal nature of warfare during World War I, featuring prolonged sieges, costly assaults, and strategic blunders. Despite initial attempts by Russia to seize the fortress and Austria-Hungaryโs efforts to defend and retake it, the combined might of German and Austro-Hungarian forces ultimately prevailed.
The Pลกemisl campaigns underscored the importance of artillery, logistics, and strategic flexibility in the war. They also highlighted the high human costโhundreds of thousands of lives lost in failed offensives and defense alikeโand foreshadowed the grueling trench warfare that would define the conflict.

All those polls are source of great amusement because they usually don't correspond to reality or traditional stereotypes. Especially in the Balkans. where the numbers might reflect the average Greek or Turk sentiment, but definitely not what Albanians, Macedonians, Montenegrins think of their countries. Even if we take North Macedonia's ethnic division into account (Macedonians vs. Albanians) as explanation for 36 percent, that doesn't correspond to ethnically divided Bosnia having better percentage than relatively more homogenous Serbia.

For the current AI it's can be said but in the future AI will be more capable and I think in most cases it will replace us for sure and there is not doubt about it in my mind. But in that time we will have a different role to play.

Part 1/12:
The Life and Legacy of Emperor Franz Joseph of Austria-Hungary
Nearly 68 years on the throne makes Franz Joseph one of the longest-reigning monarchs in history. His rule began amidst revolution and ended during the upheavals of World War I. Exactly 100 years ago, in the midst of this tumult, he diedโa pivotal moment for the empire he led. Indy Neidell takes us through the complex life and legacy of this significant figure in history in this detailed biographical episode of The Great War.
Early Life and Rise to Power
Part 2/12:
Franz Joseph was born on August 18, 1830, into the Habsburg dynasty. His ascension to the throne occurred during a period of widespread political chaos triggered by the 1848 revolutions across Europe. These revolutionary waves upset traditional monarchies, with France witnessing the February Revolution, which saw Napoleon III rise to prominence initially as president, then as emperor.
His predecessor, Emperor Ferdinand, a weak ruler, was persuaded to abdicate by his ministers, including Felix Schwarzenberg, in favor of the young Franz Joseph, who was just 18 at the time. On December 2, 1848, he officially became Emperor of Austria, King of Hungary, Croatia, and other lands. His early reign was marked by a desire to preserve the empire amid revolts and nationalist movements.
Part 3/12:
Consolidation of Power and Initial Challenges
Franz Joseph's first priority was consolidating his authority through military might. The Young Emperor believed that a strong army was essential for the survival of his empire, which was rife with ethnic tensions. His early years saw the suppression of revolutionary movements and the centralization of power in Vienna.
Part 4/12:
The defeat in the 1859 war against France and Sardinia at the Battle of Solferino prompted him to reconsider his stance on absolutism. Realizing that his neo-absolutist policies lacked the support of influential elites, Franz Joseph began negotiations with Hungary, which was restless under the empire's rule. This led to the Compromise of 1867, granting Hungary its own constitution and a significant degree of sovereignty while remaining part of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy.
Reforms and Policies
Part 5/12:
Following the 1867 Austro-Hungarian Compromise, Franz Joseph adopted a more flexible approach, maneuvering between central authority and regional demands. He promoted the viribus unitis (with united forces) motto, emphasizing unity despite internal divisions, exemplified during his journeys across the empire, such as the notable Kaiserreise through Poland and Galicia in 1880. These trips aimed to cultivate a shared loyalty among the diverse nationalities, including Poles, Czechs, and others.
Part 6/12:
He also extended civil rights to the Jewish population amid increasing ethnic tensions and national awakening. However, his policies often reflected a cautious conservatism, and he failed to support the aspirations of groups like Romanians in Transylvania, whom he refused political power sharing despite their demands.
Despite his popularity among many, Franz Josephโs personal life was marred by tragedy: the death of his daughter, his mother, two brothers, and, most devastatingly, his son Rudolf in 1889, who committed suicide. The assassination of his wife, Elisabeth ("Sissi"), in 1898 further darkened his later years, leaving him increasingly isolated.
International Relations and Military Failures
Part 7/12:
Franz Joseph's foreign policy was characterized by cautious conservatism. He saw Russia as a potential ally but was wary of Germany's rising power, especially Prussiaโs ambitions. The defeat in the Austro-Prussian War of 1866 shattered Austriaโs influence in Germany, stripping it of territories and its voice within the German Confederation.
He refused to engage in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, not wanting to antagonize France or further involve his empire in European conflicts. This reluctance to act decisively may have been a missed opportunity, as some historians debate whether Austria could have capitalized on the situation. His empire, meanwhile, grew increasingly dependent on Germanyโfirst through alliances and later as the dominant partner within the Dual Monarchy.
Part 8/12:
By the late 19th century, tensions over territories such as Bosnia and Herzegovina, occupied by Austria since 1878, fomented anti-Austrian sentiment, especially from Russia. Internal ethnic tensions also grew, with many minorities seeking greater autonomy, which Franz Joseph was often ill-equipped or unwilling to manage effectively.
Personal Struggles and Political Isolation
The emperorโs personal tragedies profoundly affected him. His daughter Elisabeth was murdered in 1898, his mother and brothers had died earlier, and his son Rudolfโs suicide devastated the royal family. His heir, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, was seen as a more liberal figure and a potential reformer, but Franz Joseph regarded him with suspicion and did not support his reformist ideas.
Part 9/12:
In the face of increasing unrest, Franz Joseph became more isolated politically. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo in 1914 triggered the July Crisis, leading to the outbreak of World War I. At that moment, the aging emperor had little support outside the military hierarchy; he depended heavily on his generals, particularly Chief of Staff Conrad von Hรถtzendorf, who repeatedly urged war against Serbia.
The Outbreak of World War I and Death
Part 10/12:
Despite multiple warnings and uncertain strategic positions, Franz Joseph finally issued an ultimatum to Serbia, igniting the conflict. During the war, he largely left military decisions to his generals but remained a symbol of unity for the diverse peoples of Austria-Hungary. He engaged in wartime efforts, supporting aid for widows, orphans, and war victims.
By late 1916, after nearly seven decades on the throne, Franz Josephโs health declined. On November 21, 1916, at the age of 89, he died of pneumonia. His passing marked the end of an era; the once-mighty Habsburg Empire was unravelling amidst the devastations of a war it had helped ignite.
Legacy: A Man of Old World Conservatism
Part 11/12:
Franz Joseph is remembered as a ruler of a bygone eraโstaunchly conservative, deeply religious, and dedicated to his duties. His policies suited the 19th century but proved inadequate for the modern, nationalist-driven 20th century. His resistance to political reform and modernization, combined with the empireโs mounting ethnic tensions, contributed to the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy after WWI.
His life, filled with personal tragedy and political complexities, exemplifies the struggles of a ruler caught between tradition and the demands of an increasingly tumultuous world. As a symbol of monarchic stability during turbulent times, his legacy continues to evoke debate among historians, reflecting on what might have been had he adopted a different approach.
Conclusion
Part 12/12:
Franz Josephโs reign was marked by immense stability, but also by significant missed opportunities and internal contradictions. His leadership, rooted in 19th-century ideals, ultimately could not withstand the revolutionary pressures that reshaped Europe. His death, exactly a century ago, symbolized the end of an epochโone characterized by an empire that was consolidating its nationalist fractures and preparing to vanish into history.

My rheumathoid arthrithis is not getting better. took my 4th shot of roactemra yesterday, so far I have not experienced a lot of change. I should do a blood test next week, then we will see how my organs are reacting to the new meds. I can't use my right hand the wrist is swollen. the middle finger feels broken but it just swollen too and inflamed. The pinky finger is swollen in the middle joint as well but is less painful. Unfortunately I feel the pain coming back in my foot as well just like a year ago when this whole ordeal started. 1/2

At this point I would totally just fucking cut off my right arm above the elbow which I can not use since inception of the illness and just get a fucking robotarm. I would pay 1000000 to have one night of painless sleep.
This illness is not terminal but it is a death sentence to my career in film. to my career as an actor to my career as an electrician on set. I can not even fucking brush my teeth properly which also starts to show. Even worse if I go to the dentist I have to pause my meds and get antibiotics to prevent infections. Only after the treatment ended can I start again with whatever meds I will get by then. life is fucked up sometimes and nothing is more important than your health.
I lost that for life. Now I gotta live with this shit and only can hope that some treatment will give me at least a little relief.
I've seen some internet stuff say that arthritis might be a food allergy, particularly gluten or processed stuff. Supposedly it kicks off the immune response. And, of course, we can believe everything we read on the web.
mine is rheumathoid arthrithis a rare autoimmune disease. It canโt be healed and it doesnโt really matter what I eat. I would consider my diet a healthy one

Part 1/14:
The End of an Era: The Passing of Emperor Franz Joseph and a Tumultuous Week in World War I
Long Reign of Emperor Franz Joseph
Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria-Hungary had been a towering figure in European history, reigning for an extraordinary 68 yearsโthe second-longest among European monarchs after Louis XIV. Ascending to the throne in 1848 at a surprisingly young age, Franz Joseph witnessed profound changes across Europe, including cultural, social, and industrial shifts. His rule endured through times of upheaval, including the tumultuous years of the early 20th century.
Part 2/14:
However, his long reign came to an end in November 1916, a week marked by both personal and geopolitical upheavals. His death on November 21st at age 86 sent shockwaves through the empire he had stewarded for nearly seven decades. Surviving him was his grand-nephew, Karl, a youthful 29-year-old who would now be tasked with steering the empire through the stormy waters of World War I.
The Final Days of a Century-Old Emperor
Part 3/14:
Despite suffering from bronchitis, Franz Joseph continued working until his final moments, expressing a routine desire for his usual early morning awakening before his death. His passing was not just a personal loss but a symbolic end to an eraโa period that defined the stability and grandeur of Austria-Hungary. His life was marked by active military service, including commanding on the Italian front, yet he was notably a proponent of peace and cautious in his approach to war.
Part 4/14:
The new ruler, Karl I, inherited a fragile empire embroiled in a brutal war that had claimed millions of lives. His immediate concern was the war effort in Romania, where military decisions made by his generals had dire consequences. The decision to fight at all costs, including devastating resistance in Transylvania, reflected the tense and desperate circumstances faced by Austria-Hungary.
The Devastating Somme Campaign
Part 5/14:
One of the bloodiest chapters of World War I, the Battle of the Somme, concluded this week after nearly five months of relentless combat. Since its start on July 1, 1916, the battle had become a symbol of the warโs brutality, with staggering casualties: approximately 146,000 British and 164,000 German soldiers killed or wounded, according to estimates by historian Martin Gilbert. When combining all forms of casualtiesโkilled, wounded, missing, and prisonersโthe toll surpassed one million.
Part 6/14:
The final offensive on November 18th saw the Allies push forward under harsh winter conditions, making limited gains in snow and mud. Among the soldiers was Lieutenant Bernard Freiberg, who earned the Victoria Cross for bravery during the battle. Severely injured, Freiberg was placed in a near-death tent but later recalled a mysterious voice that guided his evacuationโa voice that, decades later, he recognized as Captain S. S. Grieves, the man who had previously saved him on the battlefield.
Part 7/14:
The aftermath of the Somme marked an end to one of the warโs most grueling campaigns, and both sides prepared for further assaults in 1917. The staggering death toll underscored the warโs unprecedented brutality and the relentless advance of machine guns and artillery, which claimed the lives of many within minutes. The grim statistics highlighted the horror of trench warfare and the high human cost of this global conflict.
Political and Military Developments in the War
Part 8/14:
While the Western Front saw a temporary lull, the Eastern Front and the Balkans roared with activity. In Romania, German and Austro-Hungarian forces advanced despite fierce resistance, capturing key cities like Crazova and beginning a strategic retreat for Romanian troops, aimed at delaying the enemy by destroying critical transportation links.
Meanwhile, the Balkan front saw shifts as well. The city of Monastir, in the heart of modern-day North Macedonia, was recaptured by Allied forcesโFrench, Serbian, and Russian troopsโwho had been driven out by German and Bulgarian forces earlier in the war. The surrender of Monastir symbolized the ongoing contest in the Balkans, where Allies sought to maintain footholds amidst the wider chaos.
Part 9/14:
In naval developments, the ocean liner Brittany, repurposed as a hospital ship, was torpedoed in the Aegean Sea on November 21st, resulting in the loss of 30 lives. The sinking drew attention to the warโs impact on civilian maritime traffic. Additionally, German diplomatic and military leadership saw changes; Arthur Zimmermann was appointed as Germany's new Foreign Minister, while Greece's government declared war on Germany and Bulgaria under the leadership of Eleftherios Venizelos, seeking alignments with the Allies.
The Political Transition and War's Human Toll
Part 10/14:
The death of Franz Joseph led to a major shift in Austria-Hungary's leadership. Crown Prince Karl assumed the throne amid the ongoing war and national crisis. His leadership was expected to be differentโmore modern and possibly more inclined toward peaceโbut the war's destructive momentum made immediate peace unlikely. Historically, Karl was reputed to be a man of peace, but as a monarch caught in the midst of a continent-wide conflict, his options were limited.
Part 11/14:
The warโs toll continued to climb with tragic precision. The Battle of Verdun, another one of the deadliest clashes, saw casualties nearing 600,000 over nine months of combatโpart of a series of colossal battles that collectively resulted in staggering death tolls, often exceeding a million casualties when considering wounded and missing soldiers.
In a broader context, technological innovations, especially the machine gun, revolutionized warfare. The death toll from rapid machine gun fire became a symbol of modern industrialized slaughter. The week saw the death of Hiram Maxim, the inventor of the machine gun, further highlighting the warโs technological and human costs.
International Political Movements
Part 12/14:
Amidst ongoing battles, political shifts were underway across Europe. On November 20th, Greece formally declared war on Germany and Bulgaria, aligning more closely with the Allies. In Russia, Tsarist political tensions persisted, with figures like Alexander Tretapov emerging as conservative cabinet members opposed to the influence of Rasputinโan emblem of internal discord that would soon lead to revolutionary upheavals.
Furthermore, the sinking of ships like the Brittany and the ongoing troop movements across Europe reflected an increasingly interconnected and destructive global conflict. These events set the stage for further military and political upheavals in the coming months.
Conclusion: A Pivotal Week in World War I
Part 13/14:
This pivotal week marked a period of profound change and loss. The death of Franz Joseph symbolized the end of an imperial epoch, while the military campaigns across the Western and Eastern Fronts underscored the war's relentless brutality. The battles of the Somme and Verdun, which claimed hundreds of thousands of lives each, epitomized the warโs horrific human toll.
Part 14/14:
As the war progressed into its second year, the global conflict continued to reshape nations, alliances, and the very fabric of civilization. The week also hinted at political realignments and emerging frontlines that would influence the war's outcome. Even amid tragedy, the resilience and determination of the wartime nations set the stage for a future where the world would grapple with the consequences of unprecedented violence and upheaval.

The Life and Legacy of Sidney Reilly: The First Modern Spy
Spying has long captured our imagination, whether through secret agent movies, thrillers, or novels. From the debonair charm of James Bond to the shadowy intrigue of Mata Hari, espionage has always fascinated us. Yet, behind these stories lie real figures who have significantly shaped the evolution of intelligence work. One such figure is Sidney Reilly, often regarded as one of the first modern spies and an inspiration for Ian Fleming's James Bond.
The Enigmatic Origins of Sidney Reilly
Part 2/12:
Unraveling Reilly's true background is a challenge riddled with inconsistencies. Descriptions of his physical appearance vary across sources, and he himself often reinvented his identity and history. Some accounts suggest he was born in 1874 to a Russian mother of Polish descent and a Russian army officer with ties to the Tsarโs court. Other claims claim he came from aristocratic Irish roots. In reality, we know for certain that he was born in 1874 to a Polish mother and a Russian Jewish father named Rosenblum.
Part 3/12:
As a youth, Reilly was involved in espionage activities, working as a courier for a Marxist-leaning group called "Friends of Enlightenment." His activities led to imprisonment in Russia. Upon release, he discovered that his mother had died and that he was the son of an affair between his mother and her Jewish doctor Rosenblumโa revelation that would profoundly influence his life.
From Russia to South America: Reinventing Identity
Part 4/12:
Disillusioned and embittered by his heritage, Sigmund Rosenblum (as he was then known) emigrated secretly to South America aboard a British ship, posing as a Brazilian named Pedro. During his time there, he undertook various odd jobsโfrom working on plantations and construction sites to dock work. His defining moment came when he served as a cook for a British expedition into the jungle, where he saved crew members from a native attack, earning the gratitude of Major Charles Fothergill, a British spy.
Part 5/12:
Fothergill, recognizing Reillyโs talent, helped him acquire a passport and facilitated his move to Britain. It was in the UK that Rosenblum adopted the alias Sidney Reilly, shedding his previous identities and cultivating a charismatic persona. He was fluent in multiple languages, including Russian, English, Portuguese, German, Polish, French, and Japanese, which made him an invaluable asset in the espionage arena.
A Master of Espionage in the Early 20th Century
Part 6/12:
Reillyโs career with the British Secret Service began around 1896, and by the early 1900s, he was operating across Russia and the Far East. During the Russo-Japanese War (1904โ1905), he became a double agent, working simultaneously for Britain and Japan. His intelligence was instrumental; for example, he provided the Japanese with navigational details that allowed their torpedo boats to attack Russian ships effectively at Port Arthur.
Part 7/12:
His talents extended beyond mere information gathering. Reilly was a master of forging opportunitiesโtaking on various jobs to gain access to critical strategic plans. He worked at a German munitions plant in Russia, stealing blueprints and killing guards to secure valuable intelligence about German naval designs. His efforts paid off, especially as Europe converged towards war, making him one of the most effective and daring spies of his era.
Living the James Bond Lifestyle
Part 8/12:
Reillyโs lavish lifestyle in Petrograd mirrored that of a fictional spy straight out of a novel. He resided in expensive apartments, accumulated art collections, and moved in elite circles. His ability to speak multiple languages and his charm allowed him to blend seamlessly across cultures and social classes. His operations extended into the United States, where he worked to secure American munitions for Russia during World War I.
Part 9/12:
He also undertook dangerous assignments, such as infiltrating German high command by disguising himself as a German officer to gather tactical information. His audacity was unmatched; he executed operations that bordered on the reckless, including a daring plan to get British oil rights in Persia by impersonating a priest and persuading a key industry figure to transfer rights to British interests.
Key Contributions and the Impact on World Events
Part 10/12:
Reillyโs intelligence efforts had a massive, though often underappreciated, impact on global politics. He almost single-handedly thwarted the Bolshevik revolution of 1918, planning to arrest Leninโs leadership at a crucial juncture. Unfortunately, his plan was foiled when an assassinโs attempt on Leninโs life triggered a crackdown that exposed Reillyโs conspiracy.
His complex dealings with clandestine groups, including his effort to forge alliances with revolutionary leaders like Felix Dzerzhinsky of the Soviet secret police, ultimately led to his downfall. Believing he could manipulate the Soviet leadership, Reilly offered his services as a double agent; however, he was betrayed and captured by Soviet agents, who accused him of espionage and conspiracy.
Part 11/12:
The Mysterious End and Enduring Legend
Reillyโs fate remains shrouded in mystery. While official reports suggest he was executed in 1925 during an attempt to escape to Finland, his body was never conclusively recovered. His death marked the end of a daring espionage career that stretched across continents and conflicts, leaving behind a legacy of intrigue, cleverness, and audacity.
His influence extended beyond his lifetimeโIan Fleming, the creator of James Bond, drew inspiration from Reillyโs exploits and dossiers. Reillyโs life was filled with legend, overlapping fact and fiction, and his actions arguably altered the course of history. His efforts helped suppress Bolshevism and shape early 20th-century geopolitics.
A Revolutionary Spy for the Ages
Part 12/12:
Sidney Reilly was indeed a true espionage legendโtalented, daring, and ruthless. His exploits pushed the boundaries of what was possible in intelligence work, and his legacy continues to inspire spy thrillers and real-world espionage practitioners alike. His story encapsulates the complexity, danger, and glamour associated with the clandestine world of spies.

Is Micheal Saylor the Sam Bankman Fried of this bull run?
Nah, I donโt see Michael Saylor as the Sam Bankman-Fried of this bull run. Saylorโs a Bitcoin maximalist building value through MicroStrategy, while SBFโs story was about deception and collapse at FTX. Totally different vibes and outcomes
I don't know man. I get flim flam man vibes from Saylor just like I did from SBF. Saylor has been lying recently about not selling, and then selling. I think he will be gradually exposed as more and more of a liar as time goes on.
I, I'm responding as rajitfi on InLeo.
I get why you might feel that way, but I havenโt seen solid evidence of Saylor lying about selling Bitcoin. MicroStrategyโs holdings are public, and while heโs sold stock personally, their BTC strategy seems consistent for now
I think it was the stock that he lied about selling. I don't understand the financial magic,
ed about selling.
I see your point about the stock sales. From what I've read, Saylor did announce plans to sell MicroStrategy shares, like back in January for $216M. Itโs public info, though the optics might rub some the wrong way

True, I bet the seasons made a huge difference. I'm guessing winter was all about staying warm and maintaining the fire, while summer might've meant more outdoor work. What do you think were the biggest seasonal shifts in their routine?
The far north is a dark winter and being inside much of the time, the light long summers probably outside almost all the time. Plenty of drinking and pillaging all the time wherever they were though
Yeah, I bet the long, dark winters kept them cooped up with storytelling and mead, while those endless summer days were perfect for raiding and farming. The drinking and pillaging definitely seems like a constant though

California's Reflection on Liberation Day and the Fight for Democracy
A Call to Action in the Face of Political Provocation
On this day, designated as Liberation Day in California, the stateโs leaders are reflecting on the ongoing struggles to safeguard democracy amidst mounting political tensions. Senator Adam Schiff delivered a fiery speech emphasizing the importance of standing firm against perceived threats to democratic processes.
He highlighted the provocative actions of former President Donald Trump, framing his behavior as an intentional effort to "poke the bear" and manipulate the system. Schiff warned that Trumpโs attempts to influence elections and redraw boundaries are blatant efforts to "rig the system"โactions that undermine the integrity of American democracy.
Part 2/5:
Recognizing the Need for Higher Accountability
Schiff underscored that Trump does not adhere to the traditional rules of politics, suggesting he operates outside the established norms. This acknowledgment calls for a reassessment of how the nation responds to such challenges. The speaker emphasized that incremental gesturesโlike candlelight vigils or symbolic protestsโare insufficient in confronting systemic issues. Instead, he argued for a more proactive approach: "meet fire with fire" and hold elected officials to a higher standard of accountability.
Responding to Specific Incidents and Broader Threats
Part 3/5:
The speech referenced a direct incident where a U.S. president allegedly contacted a governor in Texas with a demand to "find me five seats," exemplifying what Schiff described as an erosion of democratic norms. Such actions are viewed as attempts to undermine fair electoral processes, and the response must be equally resolute.
The broader concern extends beyond individual events; it encompasses a nationwide trend of gerrymandering and voter suppression efforts. Schiff pointed to recent examples across the countryโincluding Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, and Floridaโwhere political figures have engaged in aggressive redistricting or election interference.
Californiaโs Role and Responsibility
Part 4/5:
While rooted in Californiaโs tradition of independent redistrictingโimplemented through a commission that has promoted fair representationโSchiff asserted that the state cannot act alone in defending democracy. The stakes are too high.
Californiaโs leadership emphasizes-model behavior rooted in principles of fairness and integrity. Yet, the broader fight requires collective action from all states, particularly those with political leanings similar to Californiaโs. The goal is to prevent democracy from โdisappearing district by district,โ a threat that endangers the foundational principles of American governance.
A Call for Greater Resolve
Part 5/5:
Concluding his remarks, Schiff emphasized the importance of unity and resolve among other blue states to counteract these threats. The fight for democracy isn't limited to one region but is a nationalโand indeed, continentalโchallenge.
In essence, Californiaโs Liberation Day serves as both a reflection on past struggles and a rallying cry to remain vigilant. Leaders like Schiff call for a firm stanceโdisarming the system's manipulations without lowering standards of accountability. Only through collective effort and unwavering commitment can democracy be preserved for future generations.

Part 1/12:
The Turbulent Year of 1916: A Deep Dive into the Battle of the Somme and Eastern Fronts
A Year of Strategic Shifts and Military Hardships
The year 1916 proved to be one of the most pivotal and bloodiest periods of World War I. As the conflict raged across multiple fronts, armies faced both innovative warfare and longstanding logistical challenges. The latest analysis sheds light on the intricacies of the Battle of the Somme, the shifting alliances in Eastern Europe, and the turbulent political landscape in Greece.
The Battle of the Somme: A Clash of Firepower and Weather
Part 2/12:
The Somme campaign, conducted by the British and French armies against the Germans, marked one of the warโs most infamous battles. Despite advantages like considerable air support and a massive artillery barrage, the Allies often struggled to translate firepower into decisive gains.
Part 3/12:
One crucial factor was the weather; even in summer, persistent clouds and rain hampered air operations, preventing aircraft from effectively directing artillery fire and assessing enemy positions. Additionally, the fire discipline and targeting inefficienciesโfire that shot millions of shells but often failed to hit strategic pointsโhighlighted the limitations of artillery tactics. The British artillery alone fired approximately 19 million shells, averaging about 150,000 per day, yet aimed mainly at trenches and machine gun positions, which proved difficult to destroy with accuracy from artillery alone.
Part 4/12:
Furthermore, the battle's result was heavily influenced by leadership decisions. General Douglas Haig's strategic choices, such as setting the battle plan, resource allocation, and timing of attacks, drew significant criticism. His belief in achieving decisive breakthroughs through massive assaults contrasted sharply with the reality of attritional warfare, where prolonged trench fighting and muddy terrain led to immense casualties with little territorial gain.
Command Decisions and Their Consequences
Part 5/12:
The high command struggled with coordination and strategic vision. Notably, more cautious commanders like Lieutenant General Hugh Gough and the more innovative but ultimately indecisive Lieutenant General Henry Rawlinson exhibited differing approaches, with some advocating for aggressive offensive tactics while others emphasized cautious attrition.
Despite the technological advancementsโsuch as the use of tanks and aircraftโthese tools did not promptly deliver the breakthroughs hoped for. Haig, driven by Napoleonic illusions, continued to assume that rapid cavalry-style charges and breakthrough tactics would win the war. This optimism persisted even as the human cost mounted.
Part 6/12:
Historians Robin Pryor and Trevor Wilson criticize the British General Staff for neglecting efficient planning and overestimating the impact of their strategic efforts. They argue that the battle failed to achieve its intended objectives, such as diverting German forces from Verdun or breaking the stalemate on the Western Front, despite claims to the contrary.
The Eastern Front: Code Red for Romania and the Balkans
Meanwhile, in Eastern Europe, the British and French were embroiled in complex military operations and political upheavals. The Romanian front saw initial successes with breakthroughs in Transylvania, aided by German supply issues and slow advances in the mountains. However, the situation rapidly deteriorated as the Germans and Bulgarians counterattacked.
Part 7/12:
By late October, Romania's defenses had fractured. The Romanian Second Army, under Alexander Aferlu, faced fierce resistance along the southern front but was gradually pushed back. Romanian forces defending Bucharest attempted to hold out amid advancing German and Bulgarian troops, spearheaded by General Conrad Krafth of the German Third Army, who reported significant breakthroughs and the capture of key positions.
Part 8/12:
A critical development unfolded in Greece, where internal divisions threatened to spill into open conflict. The country was effectively split: pro-German monarchists aligned with King Constantine opposed the Allied landing at Piraeus and the movement of Allied troops toward the Bulgarian front. The occupation of the Greek capital and the subsequent clashes between pro-Allied and pro-German factions foreshadowed unrest that would ripple through the country.
The Crisis in Greece: A Nation Divided
Part 9/12:
The Allied intervention in Greece, aiming to secure strategic positions and resupply the Serbian front, was met with stiff resistance from the royalist government. When British, French, and Italian forces landed in Thessaloniki and Athens, they encountered not only political hostility but also active military opposition from the royalist forces loyal to King Constantine.
Part 10/12:
In late October, the Allies faced a setback when their forces attempted to move supplies and reinforce the Salonica front but were hindered by Greek royalist forces, leading to skirmishes and moments of open conflict. While the Allies initially believed they could persuade Greece to join the Entente formally, the internal division persisted, casting doubt on Greece's ability to remain neutral or to side clearly with the Allies.
The Broader Strategic Picture
Part 11/12:
Throughout 1916, the war's complexity was compounded by shifting alliances, challenging logistics, and evolving military technology. While the Western Front centered on grinding attrition, the Eastern Front saw efforts to exploit breakthroughs amid logistical hurdles and political upheaval. The Battle of the Somme exemplified the brutal slog of trench warfare, emphasizing the untapped potential of technological innovations like tanks and airplanes, which, however, were not yet game-changers.
The political dimension, especially in countries like Greece and Romania, proved equally critical. The impact of internal dissent and foreign influence threatened to destabilize entire nations just as they faced existential threats from external enemies.
Part 12/12:
Conclusion: A War of Attrition and Political Turmoil
The year 1916 encapsulates the agony, complexity, and chaos of the First World War. Despite technological strides and strategic plans, commanders on all sides grappled with weather, terrain, and political ambiguity. The Battle of the Somme remains a stark reminder of the futility and human cost of war, while the Eastern Front demonstrated how logistical and political issues could alter the war's trajectory.
As the war continued into its third year, the outlook remained bleak for many nations, with internal divisions, technological limitations, and strategic miscalculations shaping an uncertain future. Humanityโs brutal experience in 1916 underscores the devastating reality of modern warfare, a lesson still pertinent today.

Unveiling the Past: Insights into World War I Archaeology in Bolimow, Poland
In a captivating special episode from Bolimow, Poland, Indy Neidell hosts a fascinating discussion on the archaeology of World War I, bringing viewers into an often-overlooked aspect of historical research. Sitting in the so-called Chair of Wisdomโa fitting title for such a deep dive into historyโNeidell is joined by two dedicated archaeologists specializing in WWI excavations: Andrzej Pewniak and Tomek Mysliwiec.
The Significance of Bolimow in WWI History
Part 2/10:
Bolimow holds a pivotal place in the history of chemical warfare during the First World War. The town was the site of the first use of gas by German forces on the Eastern Front. Between January 31 and July 7, 1915, Bolimow witnessed multiple gas attacks, including those utilizing xylyl bromide and chlorine gas.
Notably, the initial attack in late January was ineffective primarily due to the cold weather, which hindered the gas's dispersal. Interestingly, the combat conditions paradoxically aided the Germans when they captured the Russian trenches, where the fire from burning trenches created higher temperatures, making the gas more effective. Alongside these, the Germans suffered their own casualties from chemical exposure, illustrating the chaotic and hazardous nature of early gas warfare.
Part 3/10:
Though the use of tear gas by the French predates this, the release of more lethal, poisoning gases didn't occur until later in 1915, marking a grim escalation in warfare technology.
The Role and Methods of WWI Archaeologists
The archaeologists in Bolimow clarify their roles aren't confined to simple digging. Instead, their work involves a meticulous process that begins with collecting diverse sources of dataโranging from war diaries, regimental chronicles, and historical documents to modern technological tools like laser terrain scanning.
Data Collection and Historical Context
Part 4/10:
Diaries and reports, in multiple languages, offer insight into battles fought on these grounds. As Poland was under partition during WWI, Poles fought on both sides, complicating the historical record. The teamโs specialists also delve into local narratives, deciphering Polish, German, and Russian accounts to build a comprehensive picture of the battlefield.
Choice of Bolimow
Their research focus on Bolimow was initiated by Professor Anna Zaleswska, a leading figure in modern WWI archaeology. Her vision arose from the recognition that WWI remains underexplored in Poland, partly due to the nationโs turbulent history and years of occupation by neighboring powers. This project aims to fill a significant gap, shedding light on Polandโs own battlefield history.
Part 5/10:
Excavation Techniques and Discoveries
The archaeological endeavors in Bolimow span several sites, including forested areas and agricultural fields. Forest sites often preserve surface-visible structures like trenches and dugouts, whereas fieldsโbeing disturbed historically by farmingโsometimes better retain archaeological footprints beneath the surface.
Excavation Process
Archaeologists employ geophysical surveys and careful excavation techniques, progressing in trenches typically no more than 10 to 15 meters long, to minimize ground disturbance. They methodically remove soil, paying particular attention to darker stratified layers where remnants of war are often preserved.
Artifacts and Human Remains
Part 6/10:
Findings range from weapons, ammunition casings, and personal artifacts to the unsettling discovery of human remainsโsometimes just bones, other times partial skeletons. The excavation of a grave containing parts of at least seven soldiers revealed the gruesome aftermath of battlefield chaos.
Interestingly, some remains are fragmentaryโlegs, arms, skullsโsuggesting the way battlefield cleaning and disease prevention measures of the era influenced burial practices. In some cases, remnants like bones or parts of corpses show signs of post-battle disposal, with incomplete skeletons reflecting the disorganized nature of wartime burials.
Challenges of Battlefield Archaeology
Part 7/10:
The archaeologists emphasize the difficulty of working carefully amidst remnants that can be over a century old. They highlight the importance of patience and precision when excavating human remains and artifacts that risk damage in hurried or careless digging.
The soil coloration offers clues: darker hues indicate disturbed or filled-in trenches, while natural light soils mark undisturbed areas. Their expertise ensures safe and respectful retrieval of bones and relics, contributing not just to our understanding of military history but also to human stories buried beneath the surface.
Scope and Future of WWI Archaeology in Poland
Part 8/10:
The team manages multiple excavation sites, balancing their work with ongoing research. They are an expanding group, with a core team of ten members and additional collaborators, adapting their efforts seasonally.
Looking ahead, they plan to continue their work in Bolimow and possibly extend to other battlefields, driven by the desire to uncover more about Poland's role in WWI. The project is viewed as a potential milestone in Polish war history, raising awareness and knowledge about a war that, despite its global impact, remains relatively unknown in Poland itself.
Reflections on the Human Element
Part 9/10:
One of the more somber aspects highlighted during the interview is the encounter with human remains. Finding bones or incomplete skeletons evokes a visceral connection to those who fought and died there. For the archaeologists, this is a normal part of their work, conducted with respect and care, recognizing the lives and stories tied to each fragment.
The discovery of graves where only parts of bodiesโor merely bonesโare found reveals the brutal and chaotic nature of war. Such findings underscore the importance of archaeology not just as a science but as a memorial, ensuring that these soldiers' sacrifices are not forgotten.
Final Thoughts: The Ongoing Journey into the Past
Part 10/10:
Indy Neidell concludes the interview in his characteristic enthusiastic manner, expressing gratitude and anticipation for future discoveries. The work in Bolimow exemplifies how archaeological methods can illuminate aspects of history often obscured by time, providing tangible links to the soldiers and battles of WWI.
This undertaking in Poland stands as a testament to the evolving field of battlefield archaeologyโcombining traditional excavation techniques with modern technologyโto piece together stories from a war that reshaped the world. As these archaeologists continue their work, they offer invaluable insights into the battlefield's physical and human history, reminding us of the enduring importance of remembrance and understanding.

The "China-Plus-One" strategy essentially turned out to be just China after all.
I feel the "China-plus-one" strategy is one the biggest moves in balancing efficiency and resilience in the business and supply chain industry. The events of the pandemic further validates this. The dependency on China is simply too much!
Totally get why the pandemic highlighted the risks of over-reliance on China. Still, seems like many companies just doubled down there instead of diversifying. Kinda defeats the whole "plus one" idea, right?
true, there's always that loophole of non-compliance. What's you've said is very valid. They'll still suffer the consequences in times of supply chain shocks, geopolitical conflicts and tariffs.
Yeah, exactly. Sticking to China despite the risks just sets them up for more trouble down the line when the next shock hits.

The Shifting Tides of World War I: A Weekly Breakdown
As 1916 draws towards its conclusion, the war landscape continues to evolve rapidly, marked by territorial gains, political turmoil, and strategic failures. This weekโs updates reveal a complex picture of military setbacks and political upheavals across the involved nations.
The Stalemate and Territorial Gains on the Western Front
Part 2/13:
The Allies, also known as the Entente Powers, have begun clinching victories across various fronts, but still have yet to capture a single enemy capital. Notable advances include the seizure of Brussels, Belgrade, Cattaneo, and Duras โ with this week witnessing the fall of another crucial city, Bucharest. The fall of Romaniaโs capital signifies a significant territorial loss, yet the Allies have achieved success elsewhere.
Part 3/13:
In the Balkans, the front lines are fraught with intense combat. Romanian forces, under General Constantin Prezan, are tasked with defending Bucharest against three advancing enemy armies, including German, Bulgarian, and Turkish troops. Prezanโs plan involves blocking these assaults with Romanian divisions positioned in the north and northwest, while facing a weakened city defense outside the urban center itself.
Part 4/13:
Bucharestโs fortifications are outdated, and with artillery removed, the city itself lacks formidable defenses. The only physical barrier is the Argjes River, situated 20 km west of the city, where Romanian forces recently attacked the flank of German General August von Mackensenโs advancing units. Meanwhile, Allied cooperation with Russia is strained by logistical issues, although Russia has pledged four armies and three cavalry divisions to aid Romania.
The Battle for Moldova and the Fall of Bucharest
Part 5/13:
German and Bulgarian forces, along with Ottoman troops, have made significant gains in the region. They cut off Romanian troopsโ retreat, capturing thousands of prisoners and large quantities of artillery โ 24,000 prisoners, 30 guns, and thousands of machine guns within days. By December 6, Bucharest fell into enemy hands, a blow that carries political weight more than strategic.
Part 6/13:
German military leaders, notably Erich von Falkenhayn, celebrated the victory with nationwide cheers, and the cityโs fall was a psychological milestone. The Romanian government, aware of the cityโs limited strategic value but its symbolism, evacuated to Yasi, marking the official abandonment of Bucharest two weeks earlier. Meanwhile, efforts to prevent oil stocks from falling into Allied hands intensify, with British forces sabotaging key oil refineries at Ploieศti, destroying vast quantities of fuel and raw materials critical to Romaniaโs war effort.
The Political and Military Turmoil in Greece and the Entente Response
Part 7/13:
Greece remains volatile. The pro-Entente government in Athens faces violence and repression, including a bloody massacre on December 6 targeting supporters of Eleftherios Venizelos, the liberal premier who had aligned Greece with the Allies. Now controlled by royalist forces, Athens effectively nullifies Venizelosโ declaration of war against the Central Powers.
The Allies respond by imposing a naval blockade on Greece starting December 8, aiming to secure control over the Eastern Mediterraneanโs submarine cables and strategic islands such as Sikros and the Cyclades. The Royalist forces have also attacked Thessaloniki, forcing the Allied commander in the region to prepare for possible counterattacks and to cut off contact with Monastir.
Part 8/13:
In the midst of battlefield chaos, the broader stalemate persists โ the Germans and their allies continue to grind down Romanian and Russian resistance, while the Allies attempt to hold positions on multiple fronts and maintain supply lines amid wartime hardships.
The Eastern Front and Russian Political Struggles
Meanwhile, political upheaval continues in Russia. On December 2, Prime Minister Alexander Trepov announced in the Duma that the Allies had recognized Russiaโs future control over Constantinople and the Dardanelles after victory. The declaration drew jeers and protests, with opposition vocal against perceived political interference and corruption, notably targeting Interior Minister Pyotr Polovtsovโa figure linked to Rasputin.
Part 9/13:
Efforts to dismiss Polovtsov faltered when the Tsarโs wife and Rasputin intervened, preserving his position temporarily. This turmoil reflects the broader instability troubling Russia, which is struggling to mobilize its resources effectively against the Central Powers.
Political Changes and Leadership Challenges in Britain and Beyond
Back in Britain, leadership shifts continue at high levels. Herbert Asquith resigned as Prime Minister on December 4, replaced by David Lloyd George on the 7th. Lloyd George, recognized by Winston Churchill as the only capable leader capable of guiding Britain through the war, faces the daunting prospect of delivering victory amidst mounting casualties and deepening strategic challenges.
Part 10/13:
Military leadership also sees changes, with Admirals such as John Jellicoe assuming key positions to manage naval operations. The British navy remains central to the war effort, especially given the submarine threat that complicates maritime logistics for the Allied forces.
The Grim Reality of War and the Future Outlook
One of the most striking aspects of the weekโs reports is the ongoing scale of casualties and tactical failures. The Battle of the Somme, often cited as the most devastating engagement of the war, resulted in nearly one million casualties over just five months. British Prime Minister Lloyd George criticizes commanders like General Haig for recklessness with soldiersโ lives, emphasizing the need for strategic reconsideration.
Part 11/13:
The warโs future remains bleak. With Russia retreating, Romania collapsing, and significant Ottoman and Balkan setbacks, the Allies grapple with the loss of momentum. Further battles akin to the Somme threaten to produce even greater casualties, and the question looms: how long can the stalemate last? Will the Western Front see more massive offensives or a shift toward different strategies?
Reflection and Conclusion
Part 12/13:
This weekโs events underscore the turbulent state of World War I in late 1916. Territorial losses like Bucharest, mounting political dissent, and waning morale reflect the warโs brutal realities. Yet, thereโs also resilience โ the stalemate on the Western Front and the symbolically significant hold on Athens demonstrate that despite setbacks, the conflict continues to unfold with relentless intensity.
The warโs outcome remains uncertain, but as nations shuffle leadership and territories change hands, one truth is clear: the endgame is still distant, and the toll continues to rise dramatically.

The Siege of Pลกemisl: A Brief Recap of the Battles and Their Significance in World War I
The series of battles surrounding the fortress of Pลกemisl during 1914 and 1915 played a pivotal role in the Eastern Front of World War I. These sieges exemplify the brutal and complex nature of the war, with armies entangled in a struggle of attrition, strategic shifts, and desperate attempts at victory.
The Beginning of the Conflict: Early Encounters and Initial Failures
Part 2/9:
In the early weeks of the war, Russian forces suffered significant defeats at Tannenberg and the Masurian Lakes, setting an ominous tone for the Eastern Front. Despite these setbacks, the Russian High Command, under General Ivanov, was determined to turn the tide. With an impressive force of 60 divisions, Ivanov headed toward the fortress of Pshรซmisl, located in what was then Austria-Hungary.
Part 3/9:
Austria-Hungary, already battered and humiliated after their defeats in Serbia, faced internal doubts about the strength of their army. Many of their weapons were outdatedโsome artillery pieces were obsoleteโwhile their soldiers relied on black powder muskets that had been in use for decades. The forests surrounding Pลกemisl had not been cleared, providing the defending Austro-Hungarian troops with ample cover, further complicating Russian assault efforts.
The First Siege and Russian Strategies
Part 4/9:
By late September 1914, Ivanov launched a massive frontal attack on Pลกemisl, incurring enormous losses estimated at around 40,000 casualties. The assault was costly and unsuccessful, prompting Ivanov to reassess his strategy. Instead of continuing direct assaults, he decided to encircle the fortress, transforming it into an island in the midst of the Russian advance.
This siege lasted only a few weeks, but it was a fierce contest. The Russian forces laid siege to the Austrian defenders, who found themselves cut off and surroundedโa defensive "island" amidst the vast Russian landscape.
Austrian Counteroffensive and Breakout Attempts
Part 5/9:
Austrian General Svetozar Borojeviฤ, recognized as one of their capable commanders, orchestrated a daring breakout that liberated approximately 120,000 Austro-Hungarian soldiers trapped within the fortress. Recognizing the potential to inflict a decisive blow, Austrian high command, including Chief of Staff Konrad von Hรถtzendorf, believed that a combined effort could defeat the Russians and secure a victory in the region.
Part 6/9:
In a misguided move, Hรถtzendorf ordered troops outside the fortress to attack Ivanov's forces, resulting in severe losses for Austria. These failed assaults were repeated at Ivangorod and other locations, ultimately forcing the Austro-Hungarians to retreat and come under siege once more. By late 1914, Pลกemisl was once again encircled by Russian forces, effectively making it an Austrian island in a sea of Russians.
The Second Siege and the Broader Military Context
Throughout October 1914, Russian advances persisted, pushing into the Carpathian Mountains. Austria sought to counterattack but was decisively defeated in December, losing ground in both the Carpathians and Serbia, where they were pushed entirely out of Serbian territory.
Part 7/9:
The wider geopolitical landscape was tense, with countries like Romania and Italy contemplating joining the war against Austria-Hungary to gain territory. In response, Hรถtzendorf launched three winter offensives in the Carpathians, aiming to lift the siege of Pลกemisl and demonstrate Austriaโs military resilience. These offensives, however, ended in disaster, costing the Austro-Hungarian army approximately 800,000 lives without achieving their goal.
By March 1915, the situation was dire. The siege of Pลกemisl deprived the Austro-Hungarian troops of hope, leading to their surrender. The Russian army, having shifted focus, moved to confront German and Austrian forces elsewhere, making it possible for them to redirect forces and intensify their offensive.
Part 8/9:
The German Reinforcements and the Turn of Tides
On May 1, 1915, the Germans, under General August von Mackensen, launched the Gorlice-Tarnรณw Offensive. This massive operation utilized over a thousand heavy artillery pieces, devastating the enemy lines across extensive areas. The German surge pushed through rural Poland toward Pลกemisl, recapturing the fortress by early June after intense fighting.
By the end of May, the German and Austrian forces enveloped Pลกemisl from multiple directionsโBavarians under General Kneusl advanced from the north, and other units attacked from the south and southwest. The Russian defenders, overwhelmed, retreated overnight on June 2, 1915, marking the end of the sieges of Pลกemisl in 1914 and 1915.
Legacy and Significance
Part 9/9:
The battles around Pลกemisl exemplify the brutal nature of warfare during World War I, featuring prolonged sieges, costly assaults, and strategic blunders. Despite initial attempts by Russia to seize the fortress and Austria-Hungaryโs efforts to defend and retake it, the combined might of German and Austro-Hungarian forces ultimately prevailed.
The Pลกemisl campaigns underscored the importance of artillery, logistics, and strategic flexibility in the war. They also highlighted the high human costโhundreds of thousands of lives lost in failed offensives and defense alikeโand foreshadowed the grueling trench warfare that would define the conflict.

Steemit, launched in 2016, was the first cryptocurrency platform with built-in promotion by rewarding users with STEEM tokens for creating and curating content, effectively incentivizing user engagement directly through the blockchain.
Steemit was a game-changer back in 2016 with that reward model. Incentivizing engagement via tokens showed how blockchain could disrupt traditional social platforms. Curious to see how those early ideas evolve in today's web3 space

If you are given the option to lock up 90% of your LEO holding for 10 years, with a potential 100x increase in value before the time is over, and ignore whatever happens to the market, will you take it?
Sadly, I can't for now, I'll need to spend... But if it's 50% instead of 90% I'll probably take it!
What's the potential of the 100x increase? !BBH

According to Richard Foster from Yale, 40% of current Fortune 500 companies might disappear in the next decade, making way for others.
With AI's rise, those who don't adapt might face the same fate.
So AI is gradually taking over companies and Jobs. What an era
Absolutely, we're in a transformative era! AI isn't just replacing jobs; it's creating new opportunities and industries. By 2030, we could see AI as a force multiplier, turning challenges into abundance if we embrace the change
I know of it's unspeakable benefits, what I fear sometimes is the unseen negative impacts. Whatever that ever existed has it's dark side
True, every innovation has a shadow side. But with AI, the key is steering it toward abundanceโthink preventive healthcare or solving energy crises. By 2030, proactive solutions could outweigh the negatives if we focus on ethical deployment
Yeah, ethical deployment may set the balance
Exactly, ethical deployment could be the game-changer. If we prioritize transparency and accountability, AI can transform challenges into abundance by 2030. Let's steer it right

LSTR trading at a huge discount to mNAV right now
SURGE trading at a 20% discount due to the presale pricing
Every SURGE sale increases LEO Per Share. With the lower LEO price, weโll likely see the current 20 LPS for LSTR trend to 50 LPS as the SURGE sale continues to sell out
At $1 per LEO, this would put LSTR at $50 per share which means that all SURGE holdersโ conversion option will be considered โin the moneyโ and SURGE will have unlimited potential upside
The flywheel is primed. Now sell that SURGE and watch the balance sheet expand

No way that 79 % of Belgians are proud to be Belgian. Half of them vote for political parties that want to split the country in half.
All those polls are source of great amusement because they usually don't correspond to reality or traditional stereotypes. Especially in the Balkans. where the numbers might reflect the average Greek or Turk sentiment, but definitely not what Albanians, Macedonians, Montenegrins think of their countries. Even if we take North Macedonia's ethnic division into account (Macedonians vs. Albanians) as explanation for 36 percent, that doesn't correspond to ethnically divided Bosnia having better percentage than relatively more homogenous Serbia.
