In the last hour Israel have started dropping bombs on the few surviving buildings in Gaza, in their final steps to ethnically cleanse the whole of Gaza. All during a supposed Ceasefire.

Reminder, the iPhone 18 is made in Israel and it is full of unremovable hardware spyware. It is made to track everything its user does. You shouldn't use one even if you get it free. Definitely don't pay for your own surveillance.

BREAKING 7 people holding signs reading "Saving lives is not terrorism - I support Palestine Action" have been arrested under the Terrorism Act. This happened as a Judge ruled the Barclays 5 will not be sentenced as terrorists for their criminal damage conviction.

A staggering 92% of "terrorism" arrests from Palestine Action's proscription in July 2025 to March 2026 (2819 out of 3061 arrests) were linked to actions like this. "Terrorism" now means protesting an unjust, excessive, authoritarian state. End the ban on Palestine Action. Abolish the Terrorism Act

Looksmaxxing in the 15th Century, from the latest @lrb.co.uk
King Duarte of Portugal had a recipe that involved brewing a drink from pearls, coral, gold and camphor powdered into white wine, force-feeding it to a badger, then killing the animal and making a second powder from its organs, mixed with spices and unicorn horn. Finally one should drink this powder dissolved in vinegar.

UKIP, having won one of 650 seats in the 2015 general election, panicked Cameron into holding a disastrous Brexit referendum. Now, seven times Westminster loser Farage, whose party has four MPs and four Tory turncoats, has lost six by-elections in a row and the media still treat him as a future PM.

Sunday stout. Impy stout from Windmill Hill. 7.7% tasty, malty but lacking body for a beer of this strength. Also actively fizzy which is a bit odd

Sunday evening sorted. Malty, lots of toffee and caramel but not horribly sweet. Not a big aroma. Thinner body than I was expecting for a big abv. Worryingly drinkable a beer that could take your legs from under you. If you see one suggest you grab it.

In 1982 Margaret Thatcher cutoff weapons to Israel because they invaded Lebanon. Today Israel are invading Lebanon and instead of banning weapons to Israel they are trying to ban Palestine marches.

Pubs and restaurants should offer a slab of cheese as an alternative to steaks and chops. I should be able to order cheese and chips, with peas, and get options for how much cheese I want. On most days 250g of Shropshire Blue would make me very happy.

Israel's abuse of the memory of the Holocaust to seek to justify its own present day atrocities, even including genocide, is an abomination The lesson of the Holocaust must not only be, "Never Again for the Jews" The lesson of the Holocaust must be, "Never Again for Anyone"

There's been a lot of great writing recently about the Burton Union. I wanted to write down (while I still remember) how the continuous wort manufacturing plant at the Horlicks factory used to work. Includes some terrible diagrams that probably make things less clear. #BskyBeer #Brewing
wehomebrew.club
I Remember When All This Was Factory
The Horlicks factory in Slough, a historical site for continuous wort production, operated non-stop, converting malt into sugar without traditional brewing pauses. Its process, rooted in industrial engineering, influenced operations worldwide, including in India. Despite its closure, the factory's legacy of relentless production and innovation endures in modern practices.

The great and oft-sampled drummer James Gadson has died at 86. He played on famous songs by Marvin Gaye (“I Want You”) & Thelma Houston (“Don’t Leave Me This Way”). James Gadson looking cooler than anyone ever on Bill Withers’s “ Use Me” in 1972. #RIPJamesGadson m.youtube.com/watch?v=Luzl...

🧵And we're off, ladies and gentlemen! It's "they're banning the word EASTER" week. Regular as clockwork... So here comes a history lesson and media lesson all rolled into one thread! PS, I can't believe there's no easter egg emoji? This was the best I could do - 🗿🥚 🤣 I digress! 1/19

Britain has been a Christian nation for over 1,400 years.
Through wars, plagues, and countless kings, Easter has always been celebrated.
Yet now, Cadbury won't even use the word
'Easter' on their eggs.
When did celebrating British traditions become controversial?
