Is there a more Glaswegian set of footwear anywhere in existence? Created by Scottish pop artist Edmund Smith for the comedian Billy Connolly, they made their first appearance at the Aberdeen Music Hall in August 1975 making them 50 years old this year, and they soon became an iconic part of Billy's stage persona. They're now housed in the collections of the Glasgow Museums.

Just 9,000 years ago Britain was connected to continental Europe by an area of land called Doggerland, which is now submerged beneath the southern North Sea. Part of the reason why the UK is a world leader in off-shore windfarms.

Should #Russia neighbours trust its “security guarantees” and “non-aggression” promises? Well, let’s look at the history of these…
On 13 October 1923 a massive explosion rocked Warsaw when its Citadel, hosting garrison and ammunition depot was blown up, killing 200 people.[^1] The perpetrators were local members of the Communist Party of Poland, closely related to the Bolshevik movement.
Poland was plagued by sabotage, explosions and assassinations for the next 20 years. Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR), the predecessor of USSR, denied any involvement, and no hard evidence was ever presented - Polish state was practically rebuilt from scratch in 1919 and the forensic methods existing back then left much to be desired.
But in 1929 Moscow decided to recall a Soviet diplomat in Europe, Georgy Besedovsky. Back then, “recall” meant almost certain execution so he made a quick decision and simply defected to the West. Shortly after his memoirs were published in France, where Besedovsky - working as Soviet diplomat in Poland for most of 1920’s - documented a long sequence of assassinations, sabotage, infiltration, espionage etc conducted by Soviet GRU in Poland. For example, in 1924 Besedovsky wrote[^2]:
Immediately on his arrival in Warsaw, Orlovsky set out to clean the Augean stables inherited from his predecessor. This was hard work indeed. The fireproof safes in secret rooms were chock-full of explosives, bombs, hand grenades. Somewhere in the legation attics there were several containers with poisonous gases hidden there—for an unknown purpose—still at the time of [Mechislav] Loganovsky. This inheritance had to be disposed of as soon as possible and Orlovsky did the job indeed. Most of the explosives were sent back to Berlin, to the GRU headquarters for Europe (Glavnoye Politicheskoye Upravlenye) headed by one Michał Gorb; the rest was sunk in the Vistula from a motor boat purchased by Voykov.
For reference, here’s the first point of the Riga Treaty, signed by RSFSR after it failed its invasion on Poland in 1920:
The Russian Socialist Federative Republic and the Ukrainian Socialist Republic unreservedly recognise the independence and sovereignty of the Republic of Poland and solemnly confirm the unconditional right of the Polish people to organise their lives and establish forms of state power as they see fit.

Maybe I should apply for archivist at Nijmegen. Lovely city.
@hamsterhuey in fairness to this and other archives, I'm sure their digitisation projects often rely on interns or part-time admin staff, not professional archivists, under pressure to scan and upload large quantities of items.
Maybe not in this case, but often the physical materials were likely collected decades ago and have sat in folders/boxes without any indexing of individual items, and at a time when easy googling for date/place clues wasn't an option.

"AI is already transforming society in big and small ways. But Big Tech companies aren't using it to help people — they're using it to accelerate their surveillance capitalism business model while leaving our data vulnerable to hackers or governments. And they're doing it without our consent, integrating AI into our lives to build intimate profiles about us whether we like it or not."
ngl; if i were going to use any cloud-based AI (which is already a pretty bad idea), i'd probably only trust these people.

"#Doggerland was named after the Dogger Bank (after 17th-century Dutch fishing boats called doggers), which formed a highland region that became submerged later than the rest of Doggerland.
The archaeological interest intensified in 1931 when a fishing trawler dragged up a barbed antler point that was subsequently dated to a time when the area was tundra. Vessels have since dragged up remains of mammoths, lions and other animals, and a few prehistoric tools and weapons. Most #archaeological evidence of human habitation dates to the #Mesolithic period during the early #Holocene."
