The USA is demanding from >40 states an "Enhanced Border Security Partnership" #EBSP. It will grant their migrant hunters direct access to police databases in these - mostly European - countries. This is unprecedented. My streamed talk on Saturday at #39C3: fahrplan.events.ccc.de/congress/202...

I've made some walking videos for YouTube and watched others. One thing I've noticed is that the algorithm doesn't like sharing "here's a nice walk" type videos but does like "try this exciting ridge walk" type stuff.

#OtD 26 Dec 1936 George Orwell checked into the Hotel Continental in Barcelona. His room would be raided in June 1937 during the persecution of the POUM. The first transcript of his book 'Homage to Catalonia' was taken and never seen again stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9810...

Sad but unsurprised to learn that only 5% of fathers take up shared parental leave. Not only does it require financial security, having just filled in the forms for mine (thanks, Jo Swinson!) they are pretty impenetrable and would fox many sub-par HR teams. www.theguardian.com/money/2025/d...

My Xmas present to you all. The book cover that shows the most mistaken assumptions about the content of all time, I believe.

Relief with a Tauroctony scene and a dedicated inscription to Sol Invictus. Emperor Aurelian dedicated a temple in Rome to Sol Invictus, the unconquered Sun, #OnThisDay in AD 274. Sol Invictus became an increasingly important deity, with his festival day occurring on the 25th of December.

Happy holidays from the Starbucks picket line! We're STILL on ULP strike, and just this week, 19 more stores filed for a union election.✊🔥 DON'T BUY STARBUCKS at ANY location until the company resolves their 100s of outstanding unfair labor practices. NO CONTRACT, NO COFFEE!

No, this is not a dystopian novel. Nowhere else have I seen such enthusiasm for Europe as in Georgia. Yet this young democracy, thanks to oligarchs and Moscow collaborationists, is turning into an autocracy. Step by step, day by day. It's time to show our solidarity!

I’m not going to tell anyone what they should or shouldn’t do. But smoking killed my partner this year in the most unimaginably horrible way. He was 41. People: you don’t want that. I swear with every fiber of my being that you don’t. It’s beyond awful. I’ll have nightmares for life.

Good article. My own hunch is that the 1914 truce was a last gasp of the culture of the prewar professional armies, for whom soldiering was just a job and the enemy to be killed but not hated. By December 1915, that dispassionate spirit had gone; total war required total commitment to a cause.

@redramble.bsky.social Here's the carol from Steve R and Ciaran J

Treuliais 25 ml yn gweithio Dydd Nadolig. Diolch yn fawr i bawb sydd wrth eu gwaith heddiw, gobeithio na fydd hi’n ddiwrnod anodd ac y cewch chi amser rhydd yn ystod y dyddiau nesaf.

A 9,000-year-old skeleton in Somerset was genetically matched to a local man named Adrian Targett. Their mitochondrial DNA reveals an unbroken maternal lineage spanning 300 generations — the longest verified lineage in history.

Merry Christmas everyone! If you’ve been visited by 3 magi or their equivalent I hope they came bearing better gifts than this empty-handed lot at the dolmen du Parc in St-Nectaire (Puy-de-Dôme). Anonymous card early 1910s.

4/ ... the word for the whole (the family) comes to denote a part (the lady of the house). A totum pro parte is often used when talking about soccer teams: when we say that Ireland plays against Denmark, we don’t mean the entire countries but only their national teams. A nice parallel ... 4/

As @nialloconghaile.bsky.social is forced to regularly explain to remainers. The EU aren’t “the goodies”, who should have been nicer to British citizens during Brexit negotiations, the EU is a ruthlessly pragmatic international alliance built during the ashes of WW2 & in the shadow of the Cold War.

Ciaran Jenkins and I have recorded another Channel 4 News/BBC News long-distance musical collaboration for Christmas. This year we play The Coventry Carol. To all who are celebrating, wishing you a happy, peaceful Christmas.

The nature of every government is that it has at least one world historical sin of omission, and I think New Labour's is not intervening when the CMA vetoed the PSBs all sharing a single platform for the Internet.
