'A Zeppelin Raid, 8 October 1915', Camden by John Fraser (National Maritime Museum)

This is the 1st game we were competitive within but lost. LCL are probably our main rivals for 'best of the rest' & were good. But we had chances we didn't convert & made silly errors. The positives: Tinka's confident pen & Ev's sublime FK. The reverse fixture is now must win.

1943, North Africa. Indian Long Range Squadron (ILRS ) performed some missions with the Long Range Desert Group (LRDG) but was not a part of it. #WW2 #HISTORY

Good morning. This week's theme is London at War. ------ 'London and Wartime: Nocturne' (1918) by Sir Claude Francis Barry (Private collection)

In the spring of 1972, John Myers, then in his late twenties, started taking portraits of his neighbors in and around the town of Stourbridge, in England’s West Midlands.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Off to the universities remembrance service this morning. Will be thinking of my grandfather who saw action in North Africa, and Uncle Rab who was smuggled out of occupied Norway disguised as a woman.

Remembering all who have served and all who have fallen, who lie in home soil or in distant lands, or whose only grave is the sea. Remembering all who returned wounded in body or mind. Remembering all who grieve. #Remembrance

War memorial window. St. Mary the Virgin Church, Cleobury Mortimer, Shropshire. Commemorating the fallen of Cleobury Mortimer College who gave their lives in the Great War. “Think of us and then what might have been”. First World War. #LestWeForget

We Will Remember Them - sunset on the Somme at Courcelette British Cemetery. #RemembranceDay #RemembranceSunday

In fact people living longer as a result of improved health care is once reason there are shortages of housing despite so many being built. Life expectancy at 60 increased massively since the 80s until today (mid-70s to 85yo).

Thanks to @noscoredraws.com for my new Spurs Europa League winning mugs. Absolutely love them!

This is right. If you are the stray nice/funny straight guy in book publishing the pickings are literally incredible. It’s like being a straight man at Vassar

🎥 Then & Now The Lost Generation | Where they fell Verdun, Champagne, the Chemin des Dames, Somme, where over a 1.3m young and old French soldiers fell. Then & now, where they fell, their faces and their memory 🥀 Glimpse below, for the full film 👇 youtu.be/mvFPmB_5K10?si…

Finally I should point out that my only really strong conviction about Remembrance is that you shouldn’t wear a poppy before this Saturday. (I’m very old school about this).

Employment lawyer here: the number of male employers who genuinely believe they should be able to sleep with their female employees and pay working mothers less than working fathers is most of them. They genuinely believe that it is an injustice against them that they might face repercussions.

The best ‘remix’ so far

it doesn’t get any clearer that america’s betrothal to fossil fuels is about letting energy companies pick our pockets to prop up their obsolete industry

@dreadships.bsky.social @crusaderproject.bsky.social Gents, would you be able to direct me to a ‘definitive’ list of Royal Navy ships in ‘home waters’ during the Battle of Britain? Any guidance much appreciated. Mark

frankly why tf are we doing fireworks at all. It’s called Bonfire Night. get your ex’s photographs and your childhood Harry Potter books and light that shit up

I like fireworks but they shouldn't be sold to the general public. Obviously some twat's going to lob one at a paramedic. Garden fireworks are always shit anyway. Go and give the rotary club a fiver and watch a good display in a field with a candyfloss machine and a tombola.

5th November 1940: Victoria Cross action of Edward Fegen, Captain of the Armed Merchant Cruiser HMS Jervis Bay. The ship was the sole escort of convoy HX84 of 37 ships bound for Britain from Canada, two RCN destroyers having turned back in mid-Atlantic. 📷memorialsinportsmouth.co.uk 🧵1/13

Thank you, Charlottesville. With over 80 volunteers since March, including 27 on Election Day, and 153 donations, I truly believe we built a people-powered campaign. A thousand thank-yous would be insufficient, but I’ll keep saying it because I couldn’t have done it without you all.

LOCAL ELECTION RESULT: Let me congratulate @zysaidso.bsky.social for her election to the Charlottesville School Board. For those wondering: Zyahna Bryant was a student organizer who led the successful fight in removing two confederate statues from downtown Charlottesville.

Definitely no hyperbole involved in the making (or naming) of this pod.

295/422 Willesden Junction: Mildmay/Bakerloo/Lioness Line. The Island is just under a mile away from the station and is a superb, spacious pub with outdoor seating, a varied menu and lovely staff. Summer or winter, it would be great any time of the year, it’s wonderful. Half cider = £3.25 Rating 5/5

The first thing Yaxley-Lennon did on leaving court was to thank Elon Musk for funding his legal costs. That's Elon Musk who has repeatedly called for civil war in the UK. As of typing this - all of the major politicians and platforms maintain a presence on X and it is time for them all to leave.

Dick Van Dyke has OUTLIVED Dick Cheney

If you don't stop these people now, it will get much, much worse. Ask me how I know? "is it because you're a Holocaust historian?" - Yes "Or is it because you're American?" - Also yes.

By all means have a pop at Buckingham County Council which could have worked to make this a footbridge, *but* modern bridges *are* designed to a 120 year service life and if they even take the odd car, then we really don't want the risk of a track incursion. 1/2

I don’t think age is the issue here, but a lack of critical thinking and the ability to source primary information 😉

Lewis is absolutely right here

This. Every word. Active travel is not a competitor against public transport. Unless we make it so by failing to integrate the two. We also need secure cycle storage including e-bike charging at key and rural bus stops.

Bethany England scores goals.

Anyway,

Another win 🎉 Another week above Arse 😉

It's embarassing to see someone with a PhD and years if experience use AI to make a presentation on something they are an expert on, and then tell you to ignore some parts of diagrams because the AI made them up and those bits are wrong. That's embarrassing for us both.

The way this government frames Doctors and teachers as enemies of progress is the height of right wing ghoulishness

I work for a homeless charity and have seen first-hand how gambling addictions destroys lives, relationships and families. There is no upside to gambling. Ban it all

Let's take a ride... My next book is coming out with @faberbooks.bsky.social. Tales of the Suburbs: LGBTQ+ Lives Behind Net Curtains will be published March 12 2026. Preorder links in profile, and lots more on the book and the remarkable stories people told me to come over the next few months...

My husband @mjowen174.bsky.social is very down. He’s struggling to find any work at the moment. He’s a brilliant writer and has written for Dangermouse, Private Eye and many more… If you need a writer have a look at his website and please repost. www.mathew-owen.co.uk Thank you

Masterpieces. Any chance of doing the Women’s team? Willing to pre-order 4 mugs if so

Mission accomplished 🫡 (On the Weaver line…)

My late father once turned round in the Odeon in Harlow and said to a couple who were talking very loudly behind him: "Oh, I do hope that the film isn't ruining your conversation!" My abject horror was slightly mitigated by everyone else laughing, and they immediately up.
