CITIZENS OF THE UK! I need you to stop what you're doing and watch this 20 minute BBC documentary from 1972 about a new potato-based snack. One that's a bit like crisps but nobody is confident the public will embrace. I think 54 years later we know the answer to that question.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social When did you do this organised sport at your school? Was it after "normal school hours" (after 3:30 or so) or did it replace lesson time? I can't see anyone being happy about extending the school day for "compulsory games", as good as that may be long-term.

Dolly Parton on trans rights. God I loved her.
When looking at the issue of anti-trans legislation, Parton said that “I try to get into the human element of it.” Pointing out that she has people in her life who identify as queer and trans, the 77-year-old star said it was important to hear what they’re saying.

“I know and love them all, and I do not judge. And I just see how broken-hearted they get over certain things and I know how real they are,” she said. “I know how important this is to them. That’s who they are. They cannot help that any more than I can help being Dolly Parton, you know, the way people know me. If there’s something to be judged, that is God’s business. But we are all God’s children and how we are is who we are.”

One of the first "outrageous" claims I saw as Jason Arday's media hounding unfolded was that he ran 30 marathons in 35 days! Wow! What a thing to claim! And the newspapers all suggested there was no evidence he actually did it. Well, they clearly didn't look very hard 🙄 🧵 1/26

#OTD - 11 July 1950 Andy Pandy began on BBC Television as part of the For the Children strand. Created by Freda Lingstrom and Maria Bird. Andy never spoke; Audrey Atterbury operated him with visible strings, and Janet Ferber provided the songs. Each episode ended with "Time to go home".
