Spencer (19 year old farm worker) gives a heartfelt commentary on the implications of inheritance tax on the family farm that he works on and the horrendous ramifications throughout the UK family farm industry. Shame on the Labour government for doing this to our farmers.

All good things must come to an end 😭 After 21 years at Historic Royal Palaces, our Chief Curator, @Lucy_Worsley will be leaving at the end of this year.

Thank you Lucy for being a wonderful colleague to us all and for the extraordinary contribution you’ve made to our charity.

The Bard of the Yukon, Robert W. Service, died on this day in 1958.
In honour of his life and poetry, here is my reading of one of his most famous poems "The Shooting of Dan McGrew"
Enjoy!

The Loonie is quintessentially Canadian.
But the coin originally featured Voyageurs.

Then...the Royal Canadian Mint decided to save $43.50 in shipping for its new coin design.

And that decision changed Canadian history and gave us...The Loonie!
This is its story.

Every Monday, I like to share a bit of nostalgia to help everyone's day get off to a good start.
This week, it is The Log Driver's Waltz, one of the most famous pieces of animation in Canadian history courtesy of the NFB, Wade Hemsworth and Kate and Anna McGarrigle!

I could have earned good money for this on my Only Flans!

I have been moving, and I found my old Far Side books underneath the bed. If you are my age or thereabouts, nearly 25% are instantly memorable, nay legendary. It's the greatest single-panel strip of all time. But I think this might be the best of all, and if I'm wrong prove it.

Turns out if you casually eat about 4 cups of cherries and then go for a brisk walk around the block, you probably won’t make that very important and critical home stretch to the bathroom without projectile pooping on every fiber of fabric covering your body

I was born in the city of Dachau and visited the museum at the camp several times with school and with visiting friends and family. Hard pill to swallow. To this day I force myself to read at least one history book about WWII every year.

Why do American cities feel less "alive" than their European counterparts?

It's because of something called the "missing middle".

A century ago, American cities looked completely different... (thread) 🧵
