Finished this the other day, and can't recommend it highly enough. A brilliant job by @alexchurchill.bsky.social and @pikegrey1418.bsky.social - global in scope but with an incredible eye for detail, and bringing in so many different voices that aren't normally heard when it comes to WWI coverage

Today on things I never expected to see - a Short Sunderland with Ryanair branding 😶 100% would take a budget flight to Alicante in that.

I'm really not sure why so many people find "universities actually bring a lot of money in to the economy" so difficult to understand. Aside from the fact they don't think education and academia are "real" work, and therefore of no value.

If your "industry" relies on theft of other people's work to turn a profit, then maybe it ought to get in the bin. Just a thought.

for "trans people", read "anyone who doesn't conform to some weird genital-obsessed toilet ghoul's idea of what is and isn't Correct Gender Presentation™️"

I suggest that an industry that depends upon taking intellectual property without consent or payment deserves to perish.

1. Sliced my little finger down to the tendons WITH A BUTTER KNIFE when closing up a bale of haylage. 2. Damaged my rotator cuff (still giving me trouble 3+ years later) climbing out of a stable after accidentally locking myself inside.

Actually ... not feeling ashamed of Parliament for once? @richardquigley.bsky.social nails this: "If a person’s defence of women’s rights surfaces only in opposition to trans rights, I question whether it is truly about supporting women or simply a way to target trans people under that guise."

A member at my WFA Branch bought a copy of Before Endeavors Fade. Within it was this photograph. He'd like to return it. Does anyone recognse it? Please re-post.

This is the real news story: Disillusioned Labour votes far more likely to vote Green or Lib Dem (43% and 40%) compared to only 9% shifting to Reform. Share widely to counteract all the misinformation that justifies a further shift to the Right by the gov.

There’s no point correcting this. There’s no reason to expect this travesty of a human to be any less ignorant on history than he is on every other fathomable topic. So as a 20th Century military historian I’ll just say that those Americans who serve in both wars would be ashamed of this.

There isn't a story on the BBC News site about today's trans rights rally at Parliament Square where it's estimated 20k attended. But they did have a story last week about the Let Women Speak transphobe rally in Bristol where 100 people attended.

Ah, cool. Trans kids can't get puberty blockers but this dork can have a gender-affirming recession.
