There are some nefarious characters lurking around lately, snatching up what doesn't belong to them. Do you recognize them? Here are the Z-Stacks trying and failing multiple times to secure a load of timber in Regatta. Full resolution files are in our #TheTugsProject drive! ⚓️💙
Lastly, a stunning overhead shot of Lucky's Yard featuring a nearly complete diesel tug hull. It's interesting they have a front fender ready when the rest of the tug isn't built yet! Mad lad Lucky has many other interesting objects scattered around his yard. #TheTugsProject💙⚓️
The website which IS called Twitter can't handle more than one #TheTugsProject shot at a time! Ironically, it's amazing how much is going on in this small area, and how much mileage the crew got out of it. What is really just one corner feels like miles of dockside! 🧵
Here are some shots from the filming of Jinxed showing a very cluttered Ballantines area! Lots of fun details to pick out here, in particular what appears to be a focusing card attached and extended in front of the periscope lens. More below🧵 #TheTugsProject
Here are 2 great photos from the filming of 'Trapped.' Many tugs can be seen with their superstructures removed and placed on shore to avoid being swamped or trampled. Billy's iconic departure back to his real work can be seen on the focus puller's monitor. #TheTUGSProject ⚓️💙
These storage room photos with all the models are always some of our favorites. The vibes are simply impeccable. These particular shots feature a clear look at that mysterious white pilot boat.
High resolution files are available in our #TheTUGSProject drive folder ⚓️💙
This document was shared on here awhile ago by another account I shared it to which is now long gone but here we go. This is the document that would have given Clearwater the rights to make TUGS so go wild
Welcome to the era of state approved concerts. Thank you Keir Starmer for taking our right to choose what we feel like listening to and supporting, and for punishing a man with a mental condition for his episodes. Authoritatian scum
Something quite rare! This VHS is the first time 'The Adventures of Portland Bill' was released on video!
It contains the first 10 episodes of the show, but weirdly to bridge between episodes, the titles/credits have been edited out and replaced with a static image... see below.
Palantir, the UK Government, and Digital ID
Who is Palantir?
Palantir Technologies is a US data and intelligence company founded in 2003.
Its early backers included InQTel, the CIA’s venture capital arm. That tells you immediately the environment it was designed for: intelligence, surveillance, and national security.
The name “Palantir” itself comes from Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, where a palantír is a seeing stone that allows rulers to watch distant lands and people. The symbolism is no accident.
Palantir builds systems that allow governments and corporations to see everything at once.
Palantir has two main products:
Foundry and Gotham.
Gotham was developed for the intelligence and military community. It is used by the CIA, NSA, FBI, US Special Operations, European defence ministries, and more. Its core purpose is operational control: turning raw data into live surveillance, watchlists, and tasking systems for agents in the field.
Foundry was later developed for commercial and governmental clients. It is sold into healthcare, finance, local authorities, logistics, and energy. Its purpose is data integration and modelling: pulling vast datasets together into one governed system so decision makers have a single pane of glass view.
Today, Palantir runs billions of pounds worth of contracts with the UK government. It won a £330m NHS Federated Data Platform contract in 2023, but that is just the tip of the iceberg. When you factor in defence, Cabinet Office, policing, and financial applications, the value runs into the billions.
This is not theory. Palantir is embedded in UK state systems right now.
🚨 BREAKING: Keir Starmer announces Orwellian mandatory digital ID scheme
If we don't urgently build the biggest campaign possible, every one of us will be required to carry a digital ID to go about our daily lives.
