Not sure this has been mentioned here before, but if you haven't seen it, this is one of the best history projects I have ever seen. It is a twitter account that is tweeting daily events from WW2, with lots of uncommon photos. Really well done so far (of course it is just 2 days in).
Hmm, I am not completely sure that links to twitter accounts will work but you can figure it out...

What do you mean? I loaded posts up to March, and there seems to be whole lot more left in store.

This is the second time around, so the tweets for the most part exist, but it is more fun to follow as events unfold!

This Twitter page looks pretty good...but Twitter has become more Spam-like and full of lies and misinformation!

You get that you can just... not subscribe to any users you don't want to hear from right? And sometimes it is good to hear from the other side just to make sure you don't get stuck in the echo chamber. For example, if in theory there was a narcissistic, conspiracy theory believing, racist on twitter, I would not like him but it might be important to follow him, maybe he would have some position to influence events in the world. I don't know, crazy things happen right?
