Fun day yesterday - discovered there's a military vehicle restoration business not far from where I'm relocating, and they're in desperate need of a social media guy...

Not pictured - a rusted-up Comet and Cavalier, and a whole BUNCH more.

What is stopping humanity from coexisting peacefully?

Outstanding work!

A beer from all 48 countries playing at the 2026 World Cup in Canada, Mexico and the USA. Here we go!

@HistorianBlood She sounds like quite the woman 😂

Craven Cottage (28,000 seats), designed by Archibald Leitch, opened in 1896...

...isn't big enough to seat every gun violence corpse from America in 2025 (38,762).

@laurennUTD Yet another reason to have never let the US host a world cup - so many mouthbreathing windowlicking Gompers are being given a voice which they aren't intelligent enough to use.

Most modern billionaires are just so tacky. Go endow a library. Fund research and get your name on a cancer center. Sponsor an eccentric polymath who’s obsessed with marble. Build a museum. Fund public parks. Back climate research. Create something that outlives your ego.

Rupert Lowe, a 68 year old, privately educated, former investment banker, backed by the world's richest man, is trying to convince you he's not the establishment.

I can’t stress how shit life under a Reform/Restore Government will be for everyone. Being a white ‘patriot’ isn’t going to save you from their hatred and incompetence.

@Sadiq17903236 @AdamJoseph Yoro will get there, still got plenty of time.

Same for Dorgu.

Ces gens brûlent en un week-end plus de ressources que moi dans toute une vie et ils viennent nous faire la morale sur le recyclage. L’écologie, apparemment, c’est que pour les pauvres.

Just finished reading Hemingway’s FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS and I had to stop and take a picture when I got to the famous line about the United States:

[Fisted Away @fistedaway]

Please: be respectful of the host nation’s culture and traditions

[Ollie Heppenstall @ORWH98]

There are some helmets of biblical magnitude in the replies.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

Our support for Ukraine is ironclad.

We will stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes. Ukraine’s security is Europe’s security.

Slava Ukraini.

@HistorianBlood There's some very, very good pubs in Derby and the museum has a reasonably good milhist gallery, as well as there being a plaque for Jacob Rivers VC on the market square and another one commemorating the Sherwood Foresters on the guildhall exterior.

Well worth a day trip!
