Out today.

In der vergangenen Woche holte Marie-Louise Eta ihren ersten Punkt mit Union Berlin, jetzt hat die erste Trainerin der Männer-Bundesliga in ihrem vierten Spiel den ersten Sieg nachgelegt.

". the Canvas breach demonstrates that the education sector sits in a regulatory gap: schools are subject to data protection obligations ... yet their ability to meet those obligations depends on the security practices of a private company owned by a private equity firm on another continent.'

London Waterloo - named after a battle Paris Austerlitz - named after a battle But THIS station had a battle named after IT!

Out next week.

The sausage was delivered safely.

Pretty sure I saw this lot supporting BSP in about 2003.

NEW Home Office scandal no one wants to talk about... New emergency communications system for police, fire & ambulance - ESN - is delayed again, to 2030/31... ...as costs and doubts mount. It's already £3 billion over budget & will now be 11 years overdue. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/03...

60,000 starving prisoners. 13,000 bodies left unburied On April 15, 1945, British troops liberated Bergen-Belsen — and faced a humanitarian catastrophe that didn't end with freedom A stark reminder of the scale of Nazi atrocities🔗⬇️

Vacancy for a three-year post-doc position at the Universiteit van Amsterdam! This postdoc position, part of the European Research Council (ERC)-sponsored 𝐁𝐋𝐎𝐂𝐊𝐀𝐃𝐄 project, seeks to understand the long legacies of blockades on the post-war order.

Out in May.

Excellent thread.

Athens War Museum. Covers Greek military history from the Bronze Age through to the present. 'Old school' type museum but well worth a visit. Short thread.

Acropolis now.

Visited the National Archaeological Museum in Athens today. Incredible place. Short thread.

Westfront 1918 (1930) is currently on Amazon's streaming platform. Worth a look if you're interested in Germany during the FWW or Weimar filmmaking.

Many thanks for the new gecko.

🎄📚 💙📚⚡️⏳ #avgeek #aviation #History #space #ColdWar Thanks a lot. I am really glad you enjoyed it!! Who is next ? Join us in Maskirovka! www.midshipnews.org

The use of high cost exquisite systems to down drones is nuts. Most kamikaze drones are cheap and importantly *relatively* fragile (caveats obv). There are cheaper and more sustainable options to stop them.

And the really amazing thing is that their sons and grandsons, the junior leaders of the FWW, decided to do all the same things again; only more so. 1/3

👀 Following on from C's speech last year, I write for @RUSI_org on why SIS (MI6) isn't about to "set Europe ablaze" in an era of inter-state competition, and why mentioning the wartime Special Operations Executive is problematic for the service today. www.rusi.org/explore-our-...

THREAD - Long thread on civil defence and resilience. Hopefully interesting. This was originally posted on Twitter in 2021 and formed the basis of an article in Policing Insight. Updates added. We're in different times! #civildefence #UKresilience

Interesting read. Agree with almost all of the points made. Resilience is key and receives insufficient attention in the UK. I've written about this same area and did a couple of threads at the other place. Intend to update and put on here soon.

📣 Save the date! The next conference of the Society for the History of War will take place at the University of Limerick, Ireland 🇮🇪 🗓 26–27 November 2026 Historians of war, conflict, and violence - mark your calendars!! 📄 Call for Papers coming soon!

Policy is the continuation of war by other means... What the actual...

I wonder if the dog was a Husky?

“national security vetting has largely been a car crash for the past decade.” @mtsavill.bsky.social quoted in @politico.eu.

Now play Remember Me (Niche) #totp

Ah Sir Oswald.... (But yeah, great song. Art not the arist) Also, that's virtually all of the Smiths. #totp

Suddenly, you realise there was a whole other 1978. Awesome. #Totp

#OnThisDay (27 Jan 1916) The Military Service Act gains Royal Assent, bringing conscription to Great Britain for the first time. The Act required single men aged 18-41 to serve. Around 2.5 million men were ultimately conscripted. (Image: Wikimedia Commons)

That's clearly paperback reader, not writer. come on, be more literal! #totp

457 British troops lost their lives in Afghanistan. Trump avoided military service 5 times. How dare he question their sacrifice. Farage and all the others still fawning over Trump should be ashamed.

AFCON final, Sen v Mar looking like it'll be a cracker. 'Great game for the neutral' etc.

We are delighted to announce that MBS2026 will be held at the University of Birmingham, 3-5 June 2026! Papers may consider the opening day's theme of 'Polycrisis', but we also welcome all submissions related to modern British studies. For any questions please contact [email protected]

Fascinating to see the return of the Donativium. Of course, never a guarantee of anything (and frequently far more generous). Deranged or useless emperors still came unstuck. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donativum

This. Our boundless faith in, and reliance on, what are relatively fragile technologies, is frightening. Real resilience has to be developed.

Air Chief Marshal Sir Richard Knighton delivered his first Annual Defence Lecture as Chief of the Defence Staff at RUSI yesterday. Key focus: building national resilience through a whole of society approach. Read more on our website: https://bit.ly/3YuToxb

Fascinating and very timely article from Professor Sheffield.

Some observations on this amazing footage. Tremendous work from the ITN team involved.
