Like clockwork. I am amazed Manning still has the job: I am not normally one for chopping and changing but losing every home game is quite a record.

Part two: civil war, power struggles, building a dictatorship and the tragedy of Rosa Luxemburg. From the day after the revolution to the triumph of Stalin

That is serious aura , what a giga-chad.

We are back for a whole season about the story of socialism. In the first episode we explain socialism(s) and communism(s) before Marx, featuring the French Revolution, Chartists, anarchists, the birth of the co-operative movement, utopian novels, America's experimental communes and seas of lemonade

Rep. Jamie Raskin tears into Nigel Farage as a "far-right pro-Putin politician" and a "Donald Trump sycophant and wannabe".

Nigel Farage looks uncomfortable as Jamie Raskin uses his opening statement to absolutely demolish him

"To the people of the UK who think this Putin-loving free-speech imposter and Trump sycophant will protect freedom in your country, come on over to America and see what Trump & MAGA are doing to destroy OUR freedom"

The chap at the car hire place in Spain recommended red wine and lemon Fanta…he is a genius. It’s delicious.

Terrorist hunt in Vegas 6 was just great. Used to spend hours doing them; early forays into online gaming.

Whoa…one of the best games ever!

Bunch of clowns. It is amazing how different the US is, I still like to think (although with less confidence each day) that this shit wouldn’t wash here.

In fairness, he is a really good keeper. I many ways, I am sorry to see him leave us and, as a Gunn, I wish him nothing but the best.

What would British culture be like if Oasis had never existed? | Dorian Lynskey Would Britpop have happened? Would bands still dream as big? As Oasis prepare for their return gig on Friday, it’s worth asking what their cultural impact has been

They hate London because it is beautiful Matthew Goodwin went to that there London the other day and what he found shook him to his core.

This today by @iandunt.bsky.social is one of the very best things he has ever done.
