Why is a horse ridden up the steps at end of Sovereign's Parade?

Though with the larger cathedrals I guess I could be possible.

(waves his hand from the back of the class) Is there a church with a tall enough door that someone on horseback could ride through the doorway? Leading the horse through the door and mounting in the nave I could see, though it seems like a very Oliver Cromwell thing to do.

Euromaidan issued a correction bsky.app/profile/euro...
Correction: Our 12 January report on Transnistria claimed Ukraine and Moldova enacted a "full blockade" at midnight.

That was wrong. The gas transit ended as scheduled. Ukraine's border has been closed since 2022. No new coordinated action occurred. We apologize for the misleading information.
Retraction and correction
We messed up. Apologies.

@blackcloudsix.bsky.social Can the US reinforce Pituffik if barred from runways in Iceland and Canada?

More likely to intercept sanctioned oil tankers? If the US wanted to stage for Greenland they'd just stage from Greenland itself, in Pituffik. www.lbc.co.uk/article/us-a...

The First World War took the lives of about 2,900 Toronto residents, or about two per cent of the city’s male population. This map owes a lot to the Canadian Great War Project, which was generous about sharing its research. /2 t.co/Z2HMqKg2dk

I think the PRC has been doing something like this to the Uyghurs. Also might want to look at Australia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stolen_...

One job the PRes could take on, and which its nationwide network would be helpful for, is returning to the system from the 80s for keeping track of Supp Reserve members locally. IIRC at that point there were check-in appointments every six months, for which members were paid $300 or something.

I mean, the present structure can only really be justified if it's the skeleton basis for a 1939-style mobilization. If that's the model, to be totally fair, the current model makes at least some sense. If we're not on some level preparing for that, then by all means blow it up and start fresh.
