Kicked-off Twitter for unknown reason. So after laying fallow, starting over again

Warning: extremely difficult text to read below.

Last night I surrendered my phone and signed a waiver. And then I sat with a small group and an Israeli military attaché and we watched the 45 minute compilation of Hamas videos from October 7th.

@holland_tom Certainly, will do…just hoping to get to the sure to come happy ending for the Judeans at end of Part 1! Oh Titus, as Tevye says: “I know we are the chosen people, but once in a while can’t you choose someone else” #RIHC

Pure @holland_tom: camping and reading about ‘fond of pies’ Vitellius. Just need the sun to come out!

@BoilerguardLtd hello AXA said someone was coming around between 330 and 930 to replace boiler fan. But no one has come?

[JonoMarcus @JonoMarcus]

@dcsandbrook Actually quite liked reading your piece and then Hitchen’s oppositional Cliff Notes straight after. Like reading your Torah portion then the Talmud debates on it. Great article Dominic!

@TheRestHistory request from my 6year old daughter after listening to Caesar episode…one on Pompey the Great please, as it sounds like Poopy the Great

[Tom Holland @holland_tom]

It would be nice to see a Yazidi girl - perhaps one of the many abducted, enslaved & raped by the organisation that Shamima Begum so enthusiastically joined - given a similar chance to tell her story

THREAD ON NUS ANTISEMITISM🧵

I’m going to give you just a small taster of the NUS report into antisemitism.

1/16 As we heard with Labour Party antisemitism, Jewish people were defined solely by their Jewishness.

That was the environment around them…

Morning. By popular demand, @TheRestHistory finally devotes an episode to the splendid country of CANADA ... and in his wisdom, @holland_tom has chosen to recount its history through the story of the BEAVER.

It's actually a really good episode. Honestly!

Shivers seeing the Elizabethan/Jacobean signet ring pop up on Antiques Roadshow tonight: Let virtue be thy guide 🦅

@dcsandbrook @holland_tom you often took about vintage ladybird history books. What would your top 20 list be?

[Xavi Ruiz @xruiztru]

This is a superb visualization of European history (1500-2022).

@RestIsPolitics @campbellclaret @RoryStewartUK Counter-factual what would be happening right now if Boris was still in power. Less of a shit-show?

[JonoMarcus @JonoMarcus]

@George_Osborne No coming back from mini budget. A decade of the nation supporting or being dragged along w austerity cos of belief that soaring national debt IS a problem, where you can’t spend your way out of a hole. Truss & co have trashed it’s own party’s coherency to itself & electorate

The power of an inventive product demonstration

In a one day stunt in Vancouver, 3M put a load of cash behind their security glass and say anyone who can smash it open it (by kicking) can have $3m

Is there a Cromwell?

[Tom Holland @holland_tom]

The women are suety, the men are neuter - some splendidly flattering Aussie takes on the Poms here

[JonoMarcus @JonoMarcus]

Plus ca change, plus c’est la meme chose. Substitute what you like for poets: “These men were almost exclusively well off, even though some Roman poets did like to pretend…that they were starving in garrets (SPQR, Mary Beard)

[JonoMarcus @JonoMarcus]

@IainDale Phew. I need my fix.

[JonoMarcus @JonoMarcus]

@IainDale Are there more Presidents podcast episodes coming to Spotify? Been at Rutherford B Hayes for a bit
