Umberto Eco wrote about the 14 Common Features of #Fascism

Eco grew up in Mussolini’s Italy, experiencing first hand the rise of fascism.

It’s not a revolution, but by infecting society with anger and resentment, and by dividing people

Wondering at what point Miller will read about the multitude of push factors behind immigration to America: Irish potato famine, the Highland Clearances, Napoleonic wars, German revolution, WWI, WWII and multiple conflicts like Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Afghanistan and Iraq.
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

It certainly helps having a happy-go-lucky “salt of the earth” working class type prominent in your adverts 😂

Just bought new lights for the entire house. Pendant ceiling lights (7), floor lamps (3), wall lamps (2), desk lamps (3).

Each one priced £379-£399

Black Friday reduced to £9 each. Not turning that down.

Lighting is the most ridiculously overpriced stuff out there 😂

Grant and Naylor drank there “as students”

But I have scoured the internet and can confirm they are both Wools.

Salford and Manchester respectively.

I’ve just been reminded I was forced to sign up for the Santa Dash next weekend.

I’ve not done any running for…a very long time.

I have also been informed that my inevitable failure is going to be posted here for all to see.

I’d like you all to know I don’t care what any of you think.

@barryglendenning.bsky.social redeeming himself in the eyes of this #Everton fan with a critique of Curtis Jones’ post match interviews

Found myself nodding, completely impartially, right up until the analogy at the end😂

I feel very much seen and shall be taking yet another break from social media

Gana been great, Keane a different man and finally found that competitive streak, lost the fear

Red card against Utd was a nonsense - but for once it’s done good

Revealed a lot to us about the squad mentality
Shown us this is a team, not just individuals
Given players belief

Days after Idrissa Gueye was sent off for fighting with teammate Michael Keane, Everton players arranged a pretend boxing match at training 😭

A Dim Sum and Roast Duck restaurant is opening literally 100m from our new home.

The Gospel of Brian

And it came to pass in the days of late kick-offs and dodgy VAR, that Brian Woolfinder, son of Huyton and scourge of the Wools, did journey unto a certain alehouse by the docks, wherein the pints were cold and the patter was warm

The end of this house move is in site.

1hr sleep last night. Lift broke down around 3am. Teaching 5hrs today.

I’m now beyond tired. Beyond hungry. My back is killing me. I want coffee ☕️

Giving myself 5 more hours to sort this flat out.

Then probably another few trips with remaining bags/boxes

This 2 bed apartment was basically a Tardis. A Tardis full of utterly pointless stuff.

Sun Tzu continues to influence hip-hop artists

Also, did you know that the Chinese word for “crisis” contains the characters for “danger” and “opportunity”…?
