Read this story of the brave pup dealing with big feelings.
Annie is the best dog. She brought the team to the finish of ATAO's first Copper Basin in single lead. I promised her at the end of that race she would get plenty of couch time when she retired.

Today is publication day for MANGA'S FIRST CENTURY in North America! It's available at bookstores large and small. ahorbinski.com/books/

If you've already read the book, please consider leaving a review online! It helps. And if your budget is tight, requesting the book at the library is great too!

This book on the history of manga is out now, and you can attend an AMA this Wednesday Oct 29 (see info)
I'm doing an AMA in r/AskHistorians on Wednesday, starting at 9am Eastern! If you've got questions on the history of manga or media history, head on over to www.reddit.com/r/AskHistori... and ask!
But like I was trying to say earlier, I really prefer the Irish Times World punchier writing to what American newspapers do these days.

Orban's Hungary third worst rule of law decliner in the world in 2024/25 & indeed the worst backsliding country in the past decade

EU's reaction: @ec.europa.eu rewarded Orban with €10.2bn in Dec 2023, no a single 💶 was clawed back/frozen & @consilium.europa.eu has kept doing nothing on Art 7 etc...
