The world would be a much better place if everyone were compelled to listen to Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On’ at least once every six months.

Someone wants you as a new recruit, @hagenilda.bsky.social

Clarification: I meant the whole album.

The world would be a much better place if everyone were compelled to listen to Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On’ at least once every six months.

As sure as night follows day. We’re now in the 85th anniversary cycle. Dust off your Airfix Lancaster bombers in three years’ time for the five-yearly celebration of drowning German farmers with a clever bomb (in an operation that had zero effect on the course of the war).

There’s an obvious flaw to this suggestion but Conservative Christians ought to study the book of Marvin.

Another dangerous Bluesky leftist! Oh wait, he's a far right criminal, doesn't fit the narrative

And, I suppose, just like that all talk of the dangers of radicalisation by violent hateful rhetoric and of punishing those responsible magically stopped.

Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up? TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.

Now, this is the best idea I have seen all day! @democrats.org

That would be all books, Verso

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool

Feature not a bug

A trip to Waterstones reminds me to return to my popular history bestseller- Headcases: The History of the Early Middle Ages in Twelve Hats, by Professor Guy Halsall

I love the smell of bone spurs in the morning

"We are the patriotic party" says Nigel Farage, who just spent the past few days slagging off his own country to a foreign superpower, while encouraging them to impose sanctions on our economy if we don't do what they say

I’ve got half a mind to defect to Reform. … etc

Never seen the Fartage housing tax dodges on the front pages - surprising that…

Let’s settle this, is Nigel Farage a racist? Like if he is. RT if he is a traitor.

"Sorry small child fleeing a war zone. I'm afraid you can't join your parent here in safety because your English grammar isn't up to scratch."

I don’t vouch for the book but I’m not going to lie; it’s nice to see yourself quoted as the epigram at the start of a much touted popular history book. Especially when you haven’t been feeling good about yourself for some years.

Ruin a book by adding "Tom Clancy's" to the title Tom Clancy’s Settlement and Social Organisation: The Merovingian Region of Metz

Happy twelfth anniversary (to all who celebrate) of the time I posted on my FB page a paragraph I'd just written about historical theory and asked if the argument made sense, and got a string of replies assuming I was quoting someone else and what kind of an idiot that person would have had to be.

What a lovely, calming thing to read. *Breathes*

Go me! In Italy at any rate…

@christinajriggs.bsky.social I saw your book in the wild in a shop in Padova

Bring a bun to a knife fight

Now that we’ve had the eightieth anniversary of the end of the Second World War, can we stop this national obsession, please? Especially since the people most obsessed with it seem to have also forgotten what it was about.

Pub turns away JD Vance. Locals sick of his pretentious pomp already. “We’ve had a curtailment of our freedoms here, just by his mere presence, in terms of where we can walk and where we can be… And the American Secret Service knocking on people’s doors and asking about their Facebook profiles.”

Logically this would include History too but, yeah, I know…

Where do you even start with this? On what level is this anything other than utter delusion?

Arresting 400+ people for the "terrorist" offence of protesting against mass murder while large segments of the right are openly encouraging riots against immigrants is a tale of a very unhappy country and government.

The UK government has really lost its way. Well, it lost its way a while back but this just underlines how badly

😢

Or as The Mash put it: www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/society...

A gif of Met police carrying away and arresting an elderly woman today in Parliament square Shame on Labour for putting our police in this position

Cooper, Starmer, grown-up centrists: literally no one voted for Labour so this would happen www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

So, like, did she transition to a new nationality? Are we meant to just ignore her biological nationality?

We miss Robin Williams 💔
