RIP Brian James, the original guitarist with The Damned and the writer of their finest songs. More terrible news - another pioneer gone. Thinking of his family and friends

I'm so sad we've lost David Johansen – our last living Doll 💔 I saw him a good dozen times in 1978/79 after his first amazing solo album. Such an icon. 💔

John Prescott’s coffin has arrived at Hull Minster for his funeral. Appropriately, the hearse was a Jag, as is the family’s car.
A knowing wink you suspect. Two Jags to the end.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.

@onefootiniceland.bsky.social @tealcartoons.bsky.social @chrisould.bsky.social Please explain in a short essay.
The Welsh told the Saxons this hill was called "pen" (meaning "hill"). The Saxons added their word for hill, "tor," and called it Torpen (hill hill).
Later the Norse added their world for hill. So it became Torpen Haugr (Hill Hill Hill).
Now the English call it Torpenhow Hill (Hill Hill Hill Hill)
