Tbone1I love the French, but they have a different word for EVERYTHING! So annoying. ✌️😁 Vive la France! HBD!

jonathanmlewis.bsky.social1This is how allies behave.....not like that f-ing Russian asskisser in the White House.
appleanddeb.bsky.social1Why only the first time? They should have been part of the festivities sooner. ❤️🇺🇦
Onthisday in 1789, the Bastille was stormed in Paris, a key turning point of the French Revolution. 3.5 years later Louis XVI was executed by guillotine. We look at the deluge of prints that emerged depicting his death publicdomainreview.tumblr.com/post/8221146...

twist8Wonder if Americans will take up this practice. @clc1905.bsky.social
Kevin O'Dell6Let's remember that @bootsriley.bsky.social released The Guillotine with The Coup... youtu.be/acT_PSAZ7BQ?...
Stefan Berreth5A brilliant example of a narrative invention becoming accepted as history over the events themselves. The “storming” was more a break-in to seize gunpowder, incidentally freeing a few thieves, a lunatic, and an aristocrat, than a pivotal triumph of freedom over tyranny. But hey.
Veryolympia1And how did that work out for them? For me, it's the aftermath that's the real story. A bunch of zealots with a surfeit of righteous indignation, but little foresight and even less organizational skills.
MsRegiGirl1We need to take a que from French History-we need a new revolution!
Your Internet Friend Tom Tomorrow186on this day in 1989 I was in Paris during the 200th celebration, featuring fireworks at the eiffel tower and festive guillotine-themed souvenir t-shirts
Bailey McCann32Another reason not to let AI slop win - can you imagine how much fun the artists had with these
dmgold22Happy Bastille Day to all who celebrate, and all those taking notes!!! #bastilleday #guillotine

Erick Kayser9Na rica iconografia advinda da tomada da Bastilha, esta é a minha favorita. No link abaixo, tem outras sensacionais.

Bats4Happy Bastille day! Thinking we should carry on the tradition!
A Mule With A Spinning Wheel41789? Wow. But if you close your eyes does it almost feel like nothing changed at all? How can we be optimists about this
Youri !2Happy We should do that again sometime Day für alle die, die feiern
France playing against Spain tonight, on Bastille Day of all days, so that’s gonna be a fascinating match
Pete Smith12"Complex history there Geoff, lots of competition but also several historical links- the royal family being one." "Anjou?" "Well, yes, I've been on holiday to both countries."
Constance Bantman4Opening with a minute of silence for the 10-year anniversary of the Nice terrorist attack too. 🖤
Francesorfran3Contre nous de la tyrannie L'étendard sanglant est levé! The irony that this is so relevant in the US.
PJ Galley3It feels like days since the last World Cup match. I’m missing my breakfast highlights catch ups from the night before. ⚽️
Rusty3France England final. Winner gets 4000 wind turbines & blows the heatwave at the other.
wysiwyg94.bsky.social3Les Bleus for the win! 🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵
May I take this Bastille Day to inform you of the fun fact that the French do not and have never called it 'Bastille Day'. They just call it 'le quatorze juillet' Found this out recently and have not stopped telling anyone who is listening
Eleanor Morton87Boring explanation: As well as being the day they stormed the Bastille, 14th of July was also the day the year after that they chose for the Fete de la Federation so they just refer to the whole thing as 14th July
Keith Avery5*obligatory pulp fiction royale with cheese meme reference*
Rev Dr Ignoratio Elenchi, LHS3Apparently about half of languages call it French National Day and the rest mention the Bastille. Weird. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bastill...
Puck the tall hobbit 🧜✊ (trek should be more woke actually)1The official name is "la fête nationale" (the national holiday though fête is also feast or party) but yes we just say le 14 juillet.
An Ordinary Penguin1Telling people my birthday is on Bastille Day is way more enigmatic than saying it's on the 14th July
Neil Turner1Ah, but if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all? (Sorry)
Wishing everyone in France a joyous #BastilleDay. "On July 14, 1789, ordinary Parisians stood together to storm the royal fortress & prison—igniting the spark of the French Revolution and shattering the chains of absolute monarchy forever." Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité. 🙏🏼 🇫🇷 🕊️
Bruce F. Singer5You may appreciate my cartoon today.
Jill. ☕️3May the flame remain alive, and the torch be passed to all nations in need. A day for the whole world to celebrate!
Mitch Smith2Can’t help but wonder if we aren’t going to need to have our own Bastille Day over here.
Michele with one L1I bet the us sent a weak happy birthday.
𝓒𝔂𝓖𝓾𝔂DC🌊#BlueResister🫘#Leguminati🦬#GoBills!🏈Happy Pride!🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈1So France plays Spain in the WC Semi's today (9pm Paris time) it is going to be INSANE there.
