Super excited to see them at Damnation after not having heard of them before a few days ago lolol

Having re-read Riders and Rivals very recently, this is absolutely true.

Look how messy that Cornwall side is. The cream doesn't go to the edge because the jam layer is jelly-like and unstable. You wouldn't put butter on top of jam, so why try with clotted cream? The dairy layer needs to smother the bread, providing an adhesive surface for jam.

No! No!!!! Devon 100% correct.

bsky.app/profile/anth... welcome to the house birthday party, pal!

The Conjurer is great and I think @stoo.bsky.social is pretty happy with the Mastiff!

No justice. Utterly disgusted for the Bloody Sunday families. An obscene decision and a dark day.

British army veteran found not guilty of Bloody Sunday murders Soldier F was on trial in relation to events in Derry in 1972 when Parachute regiment shot dead 13 civil rights protesters

There's no justice. There'll never be justice.

bsky.app/profile/anth... I commissioned this incredible piece of art. Do with it what you will!

Short extract from the article where the word Science should instead be the word Nature

Great article. One tiny thing - should "Science" here be "Nature", i.e. the name of the journal?

A myth: Did Zhou Enlai or Mao Tse-tung say it was too early to tell what the impact of the French Revolution was? Did Zhou Enlai or Mao Tse-tung say it was too early to tell what the impact of the French Revolution was? In short: no.

This is an apocryphal story, sometimes attributed to Mao, but is most likely to be based on a misinterpretation by Zhou Enlai, who thought the question was about the événements of 1968 instead of the 1789 revolution: www.markpack.org.uk/38813/zhou-e...

I knew Rob a little bit, 2+ decades ago, and let's just say that at that age I'd have been surprised to have learned he's any kind of football fan at all. He did however intern at the White House at the height of the build-up to the Iraq war, which I think is pretty telling

We were a Nintendo household: NES, then SNES and Gameboy. I also had a Game Gear but that is the only Sega console I've ever owned. We had a beloved N64, then my brother got a Dreamcast but that was after I'd moved away to uni

Normally football wouldn't catch my attention, but my great grandfather was president of Aston Villa in the late 80s, so I felt an overwhelming amount of responsibility to write to them. Validating these genocides is not something I believe my family would want.

Some girls at a bus stop today, one of them said "oh my god stop rage baiting me"

Our Breath Is Not Ours Alone, by Terzij de Horde 7 track album

The new @terzijdehorde.bsky.social is really really good. Any chance of a London show sometime? #MetalSky

I need more Malazan memes ❤️

Screenshot of a German train booking site. Under "salutation" are listed Mister, Woman, or Neutral salutation.

German train booking site's title choice list, listing Dr, Prof Dr, Prof, Dr Dr, and Prof Dr Dr.

The choices of gender-based salutation (translated from German) on the bahn dot de booking site are absolutely wonderful. Mister, Woman, Neutral salutation. And are you a mere Dr., a Prof. Dr., or an exalted Prof. Dr. Dr ?

Ahhh mine are all SE based :/ good luck tho xxx

Not for me I hasten to add! But I have some fab London parent friends x

Whereabouts are you?

I mean, I definitely would

A squeezy bottle of M&S Food caramel sauce with Marmite.

Oh god 🙋‍♀️ the acting is... something.

Just an internet stranger saying I am so sorry for your loss, it is a pain which cuts so deep, and I hope you find a sense of consolation knowing how much you loved her and made her happy. ❤️

Years ago on twitter I had a spat with him about white privilege - his view was that when he was growing up in poverty, being white hadn't helped him, and I disagreed - to his credit he went off, did some reading, came back a few days later and said "yeah I was wrong". So that stuck with me

I have cellulite and am very much anti-genocide so could you not? Cheers

Ehhh M/H have their highlights. Sad Statue, BYOB, Radio/Video, Holy Mountains, Hypnotize, Soldier Side I'd say are all pretty good.

An album I can sing from start to finish

Look I love Jilly but Riders is a very awkward read these days (RCB is *monstrous* in it!). Rivals, though, Nanny would definitely enjoy that one!
