Lairmore forced to relive his own personal Hamburger Hill; his Subway Sidewalk.

Dave Jamieson @jamieson.bsky.social · 3h

The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground.

"That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks.

"It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.

The officer Sandwich Guy is charged with assaulting testifies that he could feel the impact of the sandwich through his ballistic vest, and it “exploded all over my uniform.” He says he could “smell the onions and the mustard.”

In difficult times, there will emerge those that step up. And what makes this guy dangerous is his clarity in exposing the hypocrisy. (He’s also going to attract the hot priest enthusiasts)

Can anyone help me identify these schoolgirls who visited Parliament in July 1909? I'm writing about them in my book and would LOVE to be able to say who they are! www.npg.org.uk/collections/... #histed #histchild

If anyone lost a bag of books from LRB Bookshop on the Metropolitan Line between Baker St- Watford, I handed it to a cleaner when the train terminated at Watford tube station. And if you have far more followers than me, please share this status. LRB bookshop is not cheap!

Nearly a million New Yorkers ready to flee NYC if Mamdani becomes mayor — possibly igniting mass exodus: poll

Hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers are prepared to bolt from the Big Apple if socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani wins Tuesday's mayoral race — potentially setting the stage for the largest population flight in US history, a new poll warns.

I hope they prepared to sign a contract to that effect. Certainly helps bring rents down

I loved Look & Learn. As an information hungry child it was one of my major sources of education. Like the BBC2 of comics.

I'd like to see wider use of the term "wealth hoarders."

Blue Heron Farm @blueheronfarm.bsky.social · 2d

I will not, as discussed before, read another single story that is clutching pearls about people's reproductive choices. But every time I see one, I'll remind you that there is no economic problem that cannot be solved with immigration and/or taxing wealth hoarders.

Family size around the world is dropping. That choice by couples is triggering a population shift that's sending shock waves through economies.

I was once walking by a hedgerow with my partner, when a small bird landed in front of us. When I identified it as a Dunnock, she accused me of making in up. When we got home I dig out the RSPB guide to prove my point, although she’d forgotten the whole incident by then.

Truly exemplary work, which probably prevented the awful situation last night from becoming even worse.

Whatever else comes out once the attack on the ECML train last night, this alone is a credit to the train crew, driver, and signalling team.

Huntingdon was the first possible stop. In a highly stressful situation and improvising a plan the train lost just 3 minutes vs line speed to get there.

Snippet from Real Time Trains showing the Azuma was one minute up from Fletton Junction onwards, and arrived at Huntington 3 minutes after it was originally due to pass.

Huntingdon - This comment from Simon Calder is worth repeating.
