I enjoyed Lafayette by Harlow Giles Unger so much I stopped reading it for a couple weeks when I noticed I was almost through it. Did not want it to end.
Alison Weir is one of my favorite authors; two of her best (I think) are Queen Isabella (what a fuckin story) and The Lost Tudor Princess, which sounds vague and flighty but is like a high-beam flashlight into the time period.
article titles on its Arabic website include “The Holocaust — that great deception”, “Why do the Jews rejoice at the burning of Notre Dame in Paris?”, “Jews and Freemasons in the Arabs’ revolutions”, and “The Jews of ‘Israel’” — this is why their end is certain"
They also refer to the Ukrainian government as a “Nazi regime.”
Your choice, but choosing to believe that site is plainly asking to be lied to. Advising others to “check sources twice” is pretty laughable in this context. This is unintelligent and blatant propaganda.
I think Leftism could still pass for a new release. It, Massive Attack’s Mezzanine, and GusGus’ Polydistortion would be my top contenders, cuz that shit has not gotten old yet, for me.
Out of Time by REM would be alright, too! If I can skip “Shiny Happy People,” ugh.

You could also read up on (or just check the Wikipedia page for) “Nouvelle France;” there’s a section on the settlers. All around the Great Lakes and all the way down to the Gulf were French settlements, and the names are largely still there, just weirdly Anglicized. In Arkansas, “La Petit Roche” is Little Rock, there’s a mountain called Petit Jean that’s pronounced “Petty Gene,” and (my favorite) “Aux Arcs” became “Ozarks.” The French influence is still everywhere in the Louisiana Purchase area, it’s just misspelled, mispronounced, or we’ve forgotten it was once French. It blended right in.
Back off, Warchild. Seriously.
