Stop what you are doing and look at this lovely story. A photography student in the 80s took pictures of punks and mods on the street in Preston. He’s now tracked them down and photographed them again. The pictures and stories are really ❤️ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Sixty years, tomorrow. They gave the man in charge a knighthood. They made the local community pay for the remembrance garden. No-one held to account. I always think of the dinner lady, Nansi, who shielded five kids with her body and died in the process but they all lived. #Aberfan

Richard Todd is the only cast member of "The Longest Day" listed as both a character and an actor. He was a paratrooper in WW2 and the second man onto Pegasus bridge. He plays Major Howard, the man he followed onto it. Major Howard himself was the film's technical advisor. The two had fun on set

In case it still needs saying, the tech-bros do not believe in "free speech". They believe in "power": power to lift themselves above any limits on or consequences for their own speech, and power to determine what speech can be seen or heard by others.

A big, big month for Spurs Women! cartilagefreecaptain.sbnation.com/tottenham-ho...

Two wins in four days, and two performances by Victoria Pelova to remind Arsenal supporters of what they have lost - much to warm the heart. 😍

1/x Several times a day, the BBC reads out a list of sea areas, and one of them is named after a man. He took Darwin around the world, invented the weather forecast, was mocked in Parliament and the press for it, and died broken and in debt. Robert FitzRoy. A 🧵 #maritimehistory

1/x Which weather forecast has the distinction of being read during the opening ceremony of the Summer Olympic Games, mentioned in songs by Radiohead, Blur, Jethro Tull, and Arctic Monkeys, as well as in a poem by Carol Ann Duffy?

1/x In the 1840s, a lame American naval officer, grounded at a desk in Washington, cut weeks off the world's ocean voyages without inventing a single machine. His raw material: a warehouse of logbooks nobody had ever read. Matthew Fontaine Maury, Pathfinder of the Seas. A 🧵 #maritimehistory

On 21 September 1937: J.R.R. #Tolkien's The Hobbit was published. The book tells of a hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, and his journey with thirteen dwarves to recover their treasure from a dragon, Smaug. It's sold over 100 million copies and is one of the best-selling books of all time.

While we’re on the subject of integration, I urge you to watch this clip from Nish Kumar’s excellent stand up show. An hilarious but very salient point. m.youtube.com/shorts/X5ylt... @mrnishkumar.bsky.social

It's just weird isn't it when the British Museum is running a sold-out exhibition, when The Odyssey reports $1billion at the box office, when the V&A has just opened the most innovative and accessible museum model in Europe....and this is what our minister for research comes out with.
