That is the angle to keep pounding away at - the foreign donations, the obvious mimicry of the 🇺🇸 alt-right. 417547

Reposted by Keith WilliamsRobert Saunders @robertsaunders.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Historians! What should I read on why France was so late to women's suffrage? And in particular, on why the First World War didn't have the same accelerating effect as in Britain? (Ideally in English, but French not impossible...) 6278
Keith Williams @keithwilliams.bsky.social · 29/07/2026An idle “what’s that ship over there” has led us down a rabbit hole and now we have VesselFinder and we’re questioning our life choices. @dreadships.bsky.social how do we get out of this? 3301

Keith Williams @keithwilliams.bsky.social · 05/07/2026“UK houses are just not built for forced air heating!” Well they kind of are - they’re built around chimney flues, often very intricate, which carry hot air as a secondary heating mechanism. Built to take advantage of cheap coal just as AC took advantage of cheap power next century. 120

Keith Williams @keithwilliams.bsky.social · 22/06/2026First day of a new job - well actually, going back to an old one after 10 years). Actually drove to the office and sat at a desk. I’m only going in 1-2 days a week but surprised how much I’d missed just being around people. In sure the novelty will wear off eventually… 210
Keith Williams @keithwilliams.bsky.social · 15/06/2026Oh, they made another series of The Night Manager, I wonder how they’ll do without a source book… Ah. They made a stock BBC drama where people exposit at each other and something blows up each episode. Yawn. 000
