Thank you CC, there’s a lot to reflect on here 👍 I found that the link to the original translation was not working for me. Maybe an issue on my end?

Looks like the Twitter user who posted it has taken down his account. Just a reminder of how impermanent all this stuff is!

Anyone got that video of Trumps face with audio "we are going to do things to you, that have never been done before"? Can find news articles referencing, but none ever link it. I need it for reasons

Payload Movie Review Demand Part #2: Q&A (1990) I find viewing this one in 2024 a profound example of how the Multicultural Utopia of the Progressive Left is a retarded pipe dream. While I’m sure this is not what Sidney Lumet intended when it was made it’s obvious viewing it today. Nick Nolte and Armand Assante are excellent as well.

Im gonna repost my comment from the Dicta Boelcke, as I posted it over a week laternand it probably got lost in the new podcast comments:

On early aviation media

First of a few movies half of them u probably watched. We start off with the two Ghibli movies Porco Rosso (9/10), interwar period in the Adriatic Sea, and the wind rises (10/10) my fav Ghibli. Both by Miyazaki who has a passion for aviation. The wind rises is a mix of the life of two Japanese people. One of them the creator of the type zero fighter and his dreams of flying and aviation. But it also has stuff on even earlier pre and WW1 aviation. Of course, wonderfully animated, a very mature Ghibli.

Next there is Scorsese The Aviator (8/10) about Howard Hughes, which u probably watched by your Mr. House/Hughes knowledge. Hughes directed the 1930's WW1 aviation movie Hells Angels (7.5/10), which is depicted in the aviator. U should be interested in it. And last but not least there is the 1927 silent movie Wings (8/10). An important film history movie but also for early aviation. It depicts a middle class and upper-class American college boys becoming WW1 fighter pilots.

Now for a book I would recommend for once the book the red baron wrote himself “the red fighter pilot “. And the much lesser known” Der Kampfflieger Lothar Freiherr von Richthofen” by Oskar Schweckendiek., it’s about the red barons brother who also was a flying ace with 40 arial victories, 20 of them he got in his first 6 weeks. He later commanded the red barons flying circus from time to time. Same for Herman Göring who also was a German WW1 ace (20 arial victories) and as well the leading officer of the flying circus for some time. The commanding officer swapped often due to injury and death.
