β€˜A God-almighty punch-up’: rare footage shows Battle of Hastings (the 1966 one)

β€˜A God-almighty punch-up’: rare footage shows Battle of Hastings (the 1966 one)

English Heritage acquires film of first re-enactment, β€˜a lot of pushing and shoving’ between Kent and Sussex students At the top of a hill in a field near Hastings, a group of defiant English combatants awaited the invading army of William the Conqueror, brandishing their spears and shouting β€œHarold! Harold!”. Unfortunately, the Norman army had been held up in traffic on the A27 from Brighton, meaning the most significant battle in English history had to be delayed by 20 minutes while the French got into their costumes.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door inadvertently depicts Peach as the quickest typist in the world. She is able to type up a 126-word email in exactly 3 seconds, making her 8 times faster than the current typing speed world record.

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Peach sends multiple emails to Mario during the plot. Almost all of them take her exactly 3 seconds to type. The length of the emails she types in 3 seconds varies from 54 words to the longest one seen below, at 126 words. Peach: I'm OK My Dearest Mario, I send this letter in the hope that it reaches you safely. I am being held against my will in some strange place. Though I do not know where I am, I remain unharmed and in relative comfort. Those who have captured me seem to be after the map I sent to you earlier. They may be hoping to use it to find objects they call the "Crystal Stars." I do not know what they are planning, but I have a feeling it is not anything positive. Mario, please collect these Crystal Stars before they do. You must! They are already aware that you have the map, so please be very careful. And please... Don't worry about me. -Princess Peach- At the current world record typing speed of 319 words per minute, Peach should have been able to get about this far into the email. In order to finish the email in three seconds, she needed to type with an a speed of 2520 words per minute, 7.9 times the world record. While the quick typing is clearly merely a way to make the scene move along more quickly and should not be taken as accurate depiction of Peach's typing skills, it is still humorous to imagine the implications arising from it if taken at face value.

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

🧡Thread from one of the original reporters of the WSJ investigation here, again reiterating that their work was never corrected or altered, despite Kotick/Clare Locke pressuring other outlets to consider it "debunked".

This is an incredible investigation showing how former Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick weaponized our WSJ investigation into him to silence other news media over many years (linking our OG reporting below)
