Jenrick is an odious little maggot.

He’s feisty…😂🤣😂

This Portland police officer stood up for his community against ICE agents trying to drive into a crowd of protesters. “You WILL be arrested.”

This is one of the great threads.

Ah. I’m a bit of an internet expert and I can see what’s happened here. Let me break it down so we can all calm down a bit: The American has noisily shat himself in front of everyone else and is now complaining about the smell.

The London Library copy of Gellhorn’s 1978 Travels with Myself & Another, donated by the author. From 1980 Gellhorn moved to live in Kilgwrrwg near Devauden in Gwent, South Wales.

7 October 1897 | A French Jew, Roger Lucien Levy, was born in Boulogne. In May 1944 he was deported to #Auschwitz. He did not survive.

#USPolitics Let’s not forget this is a pretty easy thing to say if you’re not actually standing at either end of a gun.

Pretty obvious really.. “Do you agree to abide by the laws of this country?” “No.” “No gun for you.”

#USPolitics Current U.S. politics is like watching Kiefer Sutherland’s “24” except every episode is like an ‘admin’ ep & you never actually get to the point of the story.

@willdalrymple.bsky.social Just finished Golden Road on audiobook, but I can’t help but think your beautiful descriptions deserve a huge coffee table edition with sumptuous illustrations! I would buy it!

You can pretty much know what an old white man is like based on how he thinks about Thunberg.

When you have shit-awful journalists asking shit-awful politicians questions, the answers don’t even matter any more. Absolute shambles of a country.

This will absolutely not help one single person who needs the NDIS.

Good trouble.

Whenever I do things like: -go out at night -go on dates -sell stuff on craigslist -travel I have to calculate the possibility of being attacked by a man. Today I’m giving away furniture and had to think about what to do if things go wrong. More than half of humans have to think this way. It sucks

Given everything else going on, this just seems idiotic and an intense waste of resources. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

With the passion of a descendant and the objectivity of a scholar, Lucy Betteridge-Dyson has shed badly needed new light on the 1945 struggle for Burma, a campaign that did much to decide the future course of British involvement in Asia.Well written, absorbing, and highly readable. -John C. McManus

What a fucking joke. Imagine arresting pensioners for holding up signs & pretending it’s terrorism. The U.S. is crumbling like a Hollywood movie, the UK is crumbling like an Ealing comedy.

Age yourself with a film you saw in a cinema as a kid.

So is the war in Gaza over? So they’re letting all the food trucks in… right? Right..?

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

Free Greta Thunberg and the rest of the illegally detained flotilla activists.

Failed state. America is broken.

Don’t dismiss Jacinta Nampijinpa Price as a pawn of the Christofash LNP faction. She’s a dangerous player, already working to entrench fossil fuel & Christian Nationalism. She’s started introducing the anti-abortion movement in federal parliament. This is a longterm project. Don’t be… #auspol

You don’t hear much about that Kirk guy anymore.

They always say the same basic thing. They are always wrong. And we should do what we have always done and do the thing that needs doing anyway, which this time around is universal basic income and healthcare, and a 4-day workweek.

Having read "1945: The Reckoning by @philmcraig.bsky.social, I thought I would revisit Bernstein's "China 1945" to carry on the theme. Highly recommended for those who've come across the "Who lost China?" question and want to explore in more depth. #histbookchat #ww2 #sww #booksky

Show me the inside of your shed. I’ll start.

Jesus fucking Christ, the biggest problem with life once you’re safe & have enough food & shelter, really is… it’s fucking boring. You spend the whole fucking thing trying to be ‘busy’. Doing things. No wonder people turn to drink & other drugs.

The Eternals movie is at least as believable as Islam, Christianity, & most other world religions. (Buddhism & Hinduism are more interesting, perhaps the humans who invented those tried a little harder). Keep telling stories, it’s what we’re good at. 😊

Astonishing how many people have never understood this.

Will Netanyahu listen?

#Hastie trying to take Lib leadership position in 3.. 2….1…

Spent some quality time cataloguing & covering new additions to the library last night😊

4 October 1913 | Czech Jewish woman, Alžběta Röhrová, was born in Prague. She was deported to #Auschwitz from #Theresienstadt ghetto on 6 October 1944. She did not survive. --- Video about the history of Auschwitz: https://youtu.be/Fxnl5HTygrs

Finally, women are achieving equality in the field of venerating imaginary beings. What a time to be alive.

Is anyone else having trouble uploading things?

@willdalrymple.bsky.social Hot tip for those listening to The Golden Road on Audiobook, buy the book as well. Amazing book, but I struggled to understand the spelling compared to the pronunciation of many of the names & places. This also needs to be produced in an illustrated coffee table edition!

#Musk #Grok These people will destroy our world of knowledge. Buy real books. By respected authors in their field. Buy them now. Keep them. Pass them to the next generation. They will use AI to lie to you.

This one here.

History has many painful lessons.

You know why two people died from stab wounds in Manchester? Because in spite of it being a bit of a mess in many ways, Britain still has sensible gun control, that’s why.

I think we have gone down completely the wrong path on this issue because what is in fact merely a social convention – some loos are single sex – has been extended into the idea that people have an inalienable right to single-sex spaces. Which is logically a mess and wildly counterproductive.

And before I get terfy replies: yes, this applies if someone who appears to be a strapping great cis man is in the ladies. In fact that happened to me recently. It’s none of my business who he is or why he’s there. Perhaps the gents is broken, or he’s trans, or he’s lost. I’m not the Lavatory Police

Exactly. It’s an incredibly bad precedent which assumes that one person’s discomfort should limit another’s rights, and that a group of people may be presumed inherently deviant or dangerous. bsky.app/profile/mati...
