On this day 85 years ago, nearly 500 Luftwaffe bombers devastated the city, destroying the medieval church of St Michael’s and taking hundreds of lives.

Today is a powerful reminder of Coventry’s resilience and remembrance.

Can't believe I picked this up in the Dungannon WOW store when I was 16; such impassioned emo-ness

Nooooooooo - War On Want were always my favourite NI charity bookshops, esp the ones in Dungannon, Omagh and Coleraine plus of course Botanic 😞

Gay people on the internet are so terminally unserious I just saw someone say “blueberry and cheese is so fierce”

The trick 'r treaters are getting something special this year.

Don't go threatening us all with a good time now Ruth

It's day 13 of the shutdown. What's Trump doing?
 
Negotiating a budget deal? No.
 
Preventing premiums from doubling? No.
 
Stopping 15 million Americans from losing health care? No.
 
He's meeting the Pres. of Argentina to reward him with a $20 billion bailout.
 
America first?

You have a PO Box address? Don't tempt us...

Gay X: OMG MR GEARY IS FITTTT #EducatingYorkshire

BRING ON A BAILIFF-FREE BRITAIN 💪✊

Yeah and J1mmy Sav1lle opened a few hospitals so I guess he was a great community champion then

Her book on the Omagh victims families' civil court case was an improvement but I can only guess her next move is going to be writing Douglas Murray / Niall Ferguson fanfiction 😬

Many years ago I somehow made it through her book on the Orange Order, 'The Faithful Tribe', which was just as rose-tinted as the title suggests; my main takeaway from the 600+ pages was Orange housewives make decent buns. It appears a West Brit mentality and 'anti-woke' intersects all too well

What issue does flag waving solve? Does it:

a) reduce food prices?
b) reduce energy costs?
c) improve the NHS?
d) raise wages?
e) create better jobs?
f) none of the above?

The culture war has reached a whole new depth of stupidity How stewed in far-right ultranationalism would you have to be to imagine that it's patriotic to scrawl your national flag on the ground for cars to drive over?

How pickled in far-right ultranationalism would you have to be to imagine that it's patriotic to scrawl your national flag on the ground for cars to drive over?

Not a fan of camouflage trousers I'm afraid... You'd look much better out of them

Arrival by Abba FTW

We, as gay people, get to kiss our friends 💋

After over a decade of tireless campaigning by @orgreavejustice.bsky.social, a
national inquiry into Orgreave has finally been confirmed! This is a welcome step towards justice for the miners, and means the truth about state attacks on striking workers can no longer be covered up.

Really badass graffiti spotted in town

Am I wrong?

I'd like to think that "post-COVID" enough people are sentient enough to appreciate this film's awesomeness whilst also recognising it's an allegory for the dangerous online allure of eco-fascism 😬

Decent and recent music biographies haul; I'm enjoying the return of Pulp, a band who made me quite excited about moving to Sheffield for uni 21 years ago - though have still yet to see them live 🙃

This has been committed by the German state with the full backing of Meta and this platform too, because that's how fearless, accessible media that fights back against global f@scism, colonialism and gen0cide gets treated now.

What's happened to red.media is appalling, but don't be lulled into thinking this can't happen in your country too. Support independent media challenging imperialistic revisionist narratives, and fight for courageous investigative journalism. Solidarität Kamaraden.

Agree, though with the lesser of the Hitchens brothers he at least isn't shy of admitting he used to be a Trot. And Mandelson, of all people, started out in the YCL 😬

We're finally on our own
This summer I hear the drummin'
Four dead in Ohio."

On International Workers’ Day, we remember: nothing was given, every right was won by workers who dared to fight.

Solidarity to all rising for justice today, especially those on strike.

To the workers of Palestine: we stand with you in your struggle for dignity & liberation 🇵🇸
