The sitters on Portrait Artist of the Year generally sit still and quietly - at least according to the TV edit - but I love that Dan Snow has been shown talking about Ernest Shackleton to the artists and other attendees.

They did beat Napoleon
But they lost to the French, British & Turks
They lost to the Japanese
They lost to the Germans
They lost to the Poles
Then they beat Hitler

Past performance is both ambiguous and poorly correlated.

Trump, once again, is trashing President Zelensky, blames the US for Putin's invasion of Ukraine, and suggests Ukraine must surrender because Russia always wins wars: “That’s what they do. They fight wars”

Funniest piece I've read all day ...

Dan Snow @thehistoryguy
The legendary RAF fighter pilot Douglas Bader died today in 1982.

This anecdote is not true but it is funny.

WAR OF WORDS
Today marks the 35th anniversary of the death of Sir Douglas Bader and I couldn't let it pass without this story about the RAF hero. He was giving a talk at an upmarket girls school about his time as a pilot in the Second World War. “So there were two of the f***ers behind me, three f***ers on my right, another f***er on the left," he told the audience. The headmistress went pale and interjected: “Ladies, the Fokker was a German aircraft.” Sir Douglas replied: “That may be, madam, but these f***ers were in Messerschmitts.” GRANT TUCKER

$Dan Snow @thehistoryguy This week in 1399 Richard II was holed up in Conwy Castle. Henry Percy went to meet Richard and promised him he wouldn't be hurt. He surrendered to Percy on the 19th at Flint castle. He was taken to London, then Pontefract. And hurt.$

Into #Dinosaur Valley with #DanSnow on Channel 5 in the UK here this evening was very enjoyable.

I'm definitely not an expert by any means, but I am familiar with some of the early #history of dinosaur discoveries in north America, especially the Bone Wars between Cope & Marsh, but for anyone not familiar with it is a fascinating part of the history of #Palaeontology and the wild west.

Dan Snow as always does a great job of presenting history in an easily accessible manner.
