Christmas book haul. More than happy #booksky

Very sad Christmas news. John Robertson was a natural ⚽️ talent. Scots of a certain age will always remember his role in BA Robertson’s 1982 World Cup song, entitled “I have a dream.” “And John Robertson…who normally takes them….is handing..the ball..to me!” R.I.P. Robbo. You were loved by many.

The Handley Page Halifax (1939) had a troubled introduction to service, suffering from a lack of performance and disproportionate loss rates. Nonetheless, its problems were resolved over time and the Halifax matured into an excellent aircraft, used in multiple roles. 📷 IWM PST 14294 🧵1/10

This was a dumb thing to do, but the article gets a lot wrong. This was not a "device" in the nuclear weapons sense of an explosive without a delivery vehicle. It was not an explosive at all. I'll write a post. #nukesky

My Name Is Kahentiiosta (1995). I can't overstate how brilliant this film is. Radically committed, heartrendingly beautiful, and profoundly distressing all at once. Also a portrait of some of the most badass people ever put to screen. An incredible film that everyone should just take 30m to watch.
