So, to everyone freaking out over the steak and lobster orders from the DOD. They’ve always done this.

They’d bring in good chow ahead of deployments or even for monthly payday activities dinner at the mess hall.

Advisory: Visitors to London, don’t stand on the stairs of our double decker buses. It’s asking to get injured

You fell for it

This godforsaken idiot piece of shit.

everyone is extraordinarily desperate to pretend that Donald Trump is a coherent individual with a real plan who understands what is happening in the world and none of that is true

Bit of a call out to fellow historians!

Anyone with suitable interest/expertise available on Monday and up for recording a podcast with me on "Rat Lines" - the post-war efforts to help Nazi's escape to South America and elsewhere?

Unfortunately my planned guest had to drop out #skystorians

There's a long record of wealthy people in the USA using the police as basically armed customer service.

Billionaires would like to make knocking on doors a crime

“Never once did Reform promise to cut council tax” insists an angry Nigel Farage to Sky News.

Thousands of lawyers oppose jury restriction plan Lawyers including top barristers and retired judges urge the government to drop a plan to abolish some jury trials.

Lammy's plans smack of desperation after a jury acquitted some protestors. This isn't about justice for women. Women accused, often victims of abuse, will be denied juries too. And they may be up against a judge who lets off sex offenders for being "of good standing".

Remembering my old dad, Martin Bernal. Today would have been his 89th birthday. I still miss him.

My grandfathers talked of elderly US civil war veterans talking to his school

The “AI productivity” grifters focus so much on academia (students and faculty) because it is a technology originally designed for cheating and fraud. If you never read papers or design your own studies, you aren’t a researcher. If you don’t write your own work, you aren’t a student. You’re a fake.

Amen. Preach it, man.

I've had young people ask me if I fought in Vietnam, as if its all conflated together or something.

Allison is free to go down the pit

It’s Monday. Trump is lying. Iran does not have any Tomahawks. Not one.👇
