‘The number of Cafe Royal titles has passed seven hundred; together they constitute a singular record of British and Irish vernacular photography between about 1960 and 2010.’

There seems to be some *confusion*
among Reform supporters over Nathan Gill being one of them

“But, but, Reform didn’t exist when he took his Russian bribes”

“But, but he was in UKIP”

“But, but it has nothing to do with Farage, he barely knew the guy”

So here’s a little history lesson 👍🏼🧵

If Farage wins the next election, it will be down to one person. His name is Keir Starmer.
This thread explains why.
1. Destroying faith in democracy. The UK decisively voted out the Tories, only for Starmer to give us a Continuity Tory government, shamefully beholden to economic power.

I wrote something for GQ about how Armani impacted menswear. It's easy to forget, but when menswear transitioned to slimmer silhouettes in the early 2000s, baggy clothes were derided as "sloppy" and "middle aged." Over the years, people have revisited campaigns like these 🧵

Yup, and the repeated sloganeering rhetoric of 'smash the gangs' in headlines, no analysis just an array of fascist comicbook speechbubbles.

Beautiful 1860s Victorian butterfly, which was used to store small packets of sewing needles on the underside of the wings. This was a collaboration between a London-based drapers company and a sewing needle manufacturer. On exhibit at Tatter Blue, a Brooklyn textile museum.

IG tatterbluelibrary

The underside of the butterfly, which has little pockets to store sewing needle packets. The underside of the wings are decorated with two plates. One carries an inscription of the drapers company: "Copestake, Moore, Crampton & Co. - London." The other has a gilded head of Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom, art, trade, and war.

The butterfly can be folded up, like how a butterfly flaps its wings.
