Would any of the #photography folk in my circle benefit from some packs of inkjet photo paper? One A3, three A4, two 7x5in, plus an A3 pack of fine art textured inkjet paper? No use to me, will send it to anyone who can use it

Fun reminder that Jared Kushner's dad is a convicted felon who along with his other crimes hired a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law and record it when he learned the brother-in-law was cooperating with authorities, and Trump not only pardoned him but made him ambassador to France.

Immigration debate 'fact-free zone' as Reform UK warns of 'invasion' The survey of 1,000 people by Survation shows 53% of people believe the number of people arriving in the UK over the last year is higher than recent years - despite a fall

Oops. Turns out Persona, Discord’s age-verification service, was secretly screening selfies against government watchlists AND accessible by the feds. It's backed by Peter Thiel. “The state wants to see everything. The corporations want to see everything. And they've learned to work together.”

“It was not big enough and it was in the wrong shade of brown so I’m not paying the invoice”

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses? Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards My new column on the camps www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

The bond between soldiers and their horses & mules was not just sentimentality...

Reform UK has today unveiled Donald Trump-style ICE plans. In the meantime UK news shows continue to fail to call out Reform UK leader Nigel Farage’s completely untrue claims. If UK media can’t get the job done let’s do it ourselves www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

A great friend of mine, Gareth Powell, is raising money for the International Commando Heritage Trust to help fund a new Commando Heritage Centre at Spean Bridge honouring the legacy of the Commando Basic Training Centre at Achnacarry. Any help, no matter how small, would be greatly appreciate.🙏

It is to #Canada 's honour that it is the only place in the world to deem its female merchant seafarers worthy of their own memorial. This is in Nova Scotia & includes Scotswoman Hannah Baird, one of the 4 Glaswegian stewardesses who died when the Athenia was lost. More in my book about them.

I read books like this to try to get a little insight into Nazi Germany. And to get to grips what and how the Germans remember the SWW. I have just read a passage about the place of the judiciary in Nazi Germany. Uncannily like Trump’s DoJ.

Ladies and gentlemen, Please meet Tim Nott, the chair of the Reform UK Party in Bath. He likes to do..."acting." (yes, that is him.)

Took advantage of @bloomsburybooksuk.bsky.social promotion and bought this. Part of my continuing quest to answer the question “Germany! What the hell?” Title of my first volume of a popular history of Germany. Volume two tentatively titled “Seriously Germany WTAF?” #histbookchat.

@navalairhistory.com Back in 2017 Boultbee were flying a two seat Spitfire out of a local airport, fulfilling customer purchases. It was accompanied by these two. I was told by another bystander that strictly speaking a Mustang and a P-51 are not the same thing. True?

Let's try this again 👋 Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA. I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?

Amazon is paying $1.04 billion less in taxes this year than last, meaning the $40 million bribe Bezos paid via the Melania documentary had a 2600% return on investment.

#histbookchat. Good book

Check it out!! #academicsky 🗃️

Terrific new pod from @nmtdambusters.bsky.social @lydiajane13.bsky.social @jamesjhistory.bsky.social and top WHW IC bod @riksbar.bsky.social. Fascinating history and a who’s who of obscure RAF types.

“She has a message for other tourists considering a trip to America: “‘Don’t go – not with Trump in charge. It’s totally out of control over there. There’s no accountability. They don’t seem to need a reason for detaining you.’”

I've signed a contract with Princeton University Press for my next book! Tentatively "Ascendance: Mountain Climbing and Spirituality in Modern Japan," I'll look at the passage of mountaineering from England to Japan in the early 20th c, esp. on various modern spiritualities that emerged through it.

Impulse purchase today, it’s the how things are remembered in Germany again. @waitmanwbeorn.com Marching Into Darkness is in the bibliography. #histbookchat

I'm a bit of a fan of Leslie Howard. Having met his great-grandson and filmed an interview for a new TV documentary this week, I've written a two-part blog post on Leslie's contribution to the Allied war effort. matteatonmedia.substack.com/p/the-quinte... 🗃️

Picked this up in a charity bookshop. Looks suspiciously unread. I doubt I’ll be surprised as I have read quite a bit about STS-51L. Recommended to me, a while ago, by @markep.bsky.social

After committing such heinous crimes, Wayne Couzens should not receive a penny in tax-payer funded pension. Londoners would be furious if he did. Every possible step should be taken to ensure that Wayne Couzens does not receive his Civil Nuclear Constabulary pension.

“Hahaha! Your Ring camera just doxxed the brown people on your street!”

DHS successfully—until now—covered up the murder of a third US citizen on Texas' Padre Island, the sort of thing that can only happen in GOP-ruled Texas. ICE agents shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, 23, last year, but DHS covered up the whole incident, Newsweek reports.

@waitmanwbeorn.com A question if I may. Holocaust adjacent. The author of this book says the Brits called the Bergen-Belsen DP camp, Hohne. I have never heard that. Is he correct?
