On this day, 3 November 1918, a few days after the Wilhelmshaven revolt where German sailors refused to embark on a suicidal offensive against the British, thousands of sailors and civilian supporters marched in Kiel and marched on a military prison when mutineers were being held. Police and soldiers confronted the demonstrators and opened fire, killing at least nine and injuring many more. The incident marked the beginning of what is referred to as the Kiel mutiny, as thousands more sailors joined demonstrations the following day, and workers in the city went on strike. The local admiral, unsure of the loyalty of his own troops, agreed to release the imprisoned mutineers. By November 5, the red flag was flying over ships in Kiel harbour, while the mutiny spread, and the German revolution gathered momentum.

For the US senate:

Dianne Feinstein, the oldest sitting senator, turns 88 [on June 22, 2021]. She’s served since 1992. Charles Grassley, three months younger, celebrates his 88th birthday in September [of 2021]. He’s held the job for 40 years.

Richard Shelby is 87. James Inhofe is 86. Pat Leahy is 81. The three men have served in the senate for a total of 106 years.

And there are plenty more right behind them: Twenty-three members of the Senate are in their 70s; only one is under 40. According to the Congressional Research Service, the average age of senators at the beginning of this year was 64.3 years — the oldest in history.

Achilles dragging Hector’s corpse around Troy

#oh this is a Baby sound
#this is a sound mother cats make when they’re calling to their kittens
#it’s not an alarm call
#it’s more like ‘hey kids it’s time to travel follow me’ sort of call

Exactly what @followthebluebell wrote! This cat is trying to carry their ‘kitten’ to a new nest. I’ve never seen this behaviour before with a human and it’s hilarious to watch in action.
