This is an incredible thread about an extraordinary life in the Second World War, and the return to civvy street after:

It’s the 111th anniversary today of the birth of Harry Rée, who was a teacher and conscientious objector when the Second World War broke out, and by the time it ended, when he was 31, had invented ‘blackmail sabotage’ and got a DSO, an OBE, a Croix de Guerre, and a Medaille de la Resistance

Better than Paid in Full? (Did they even do a duff album?)

Oh man...I rode back last night and it was gloomy by 6 here.

I find it wild that time after time these right wing parties expel people absolutely *constantly* for sexual abuse, violence, racism, corruption and financial impropriety, and yet the broader focus within coverage is never that the project itself is rotten.

Has an American ever pronounced the word squirrel correctly and not "squrl"? (Which is also, i think, Jim Jarmusch's band.)

My guess would be about a million. And then a few more million who are radicalised by the Mail/Telegraph etc.

This. SM algorithms are just deranged. Just arguing a few points on IG means I regularly now just get far right/anti-semitic/islamophobic content and I mostly post food pix. If you are already a bit racist, IG or any other one will totally radicalise you.

Last night I heard of another friend of a friend who has been lost to a rabbit hole of online propaganda. We need to start treating this as a serious public health concern.

Twitter is for porn and racism.

You're all missed over at X..

Literally every social media is flooded with this stuff: AI slop, racist lies, misrepresentation of the truth. It's more than the manosphere and algorithms could do on their own. You can see loads of accounts weighing in with zero followers and poor English. My guess is more Russia interferences.

Remind me again of that other time when good people hid friends and neighbours from paramilitaries?

Are you in some kind of purgatory? Like in Lost or sth?

Life is an endless dogwhistle for him. Probably he'll get a go of being leader but that party will be so depleted that it won't really matter.

They should stop polling, and just stick with the big one we had in 2016 that revealed that roughly half of us will believe any old shit.

No one has said "I've put yourself" yet.

Exorcist. Watched it age 12, because the video store on Moulsham St was quite flexible and liberal with the age rating thing.

Jenrick imagines that when he takes over leadership that dog whistle racism will be enough to win back Reform voters. It's futile. Will just drive them into further obscurity. Everyone still blames them for 14yrs of shit and chaos.

A girl once came up and punched me in the stomach to get my attention. Does that count? I was too cowardly to talk to her.

How oblivious to flirting are you? When I was 19-21, I was convinced that the girl that came to my apartment like 3 times a week and usually sat on my lap was just a good pal
mathewheath.bsky.social
Agree. Tho I would hope they would be doing better than now in 3 or 4yrs time.
mathewheath.bsky.social
Yes this. And I think people were used to holding their noses and voting tactically last time.

I feel like he would have screwed that up somehow.

If I cringe any harder at the Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp's stand-up comedy routine, I may fold in on myself, collapsing into a PSR-J0952–0607-style neutron star of vicarious embarrassment. ~AA
