Released in America OTD in 1968 and long a personal fave (aka QUATERMASS AND THE PIT). I recall CBS showing this on a rare Sunday movie night during the summer with zero fanfare. Don't take my word for it; modern horror master @paultremblay.bsky.social really digs it too. See at all costs.

Ukraine’s General Staff says its forces struck the Volgograd oil refinery, fuel depots in occupied Crimea and Zaporizhzhia region, a logistics warehouse, troop and equipment concentrations, and Osa and Tor air defense systems overnight on Feb 11. Fires were recorded at the refinery. #Ukraine

Europe just made a strategic choice.

The European Parliament approved a €90B loan for Ukraine (458–140). €60B for weapons, €30B for budget stability.

Kyiv repays the principal only if Russia pays reparations.

This isn’t just aid — it’s a long-term security signal from Europe. 🇪🇺

I think I may try to start doing a #booksky Sunday update to help keep me going with my reading cadence as we get into 2026.

A peculiar trend has emerged since I finished my grad degree: I've become a 3-book dude.

Gorse blossoms throughout the year, which led to an old saying,

"When kissing’s out of fashion
Gorse is out of bloom."

Bear in mind that, according to Margaret Baker, in Somerset and Dorset, carrying gorse into the house was a bad omen and meant that people would soon carry out a coffin!

Here's a thread which follows my last book - Historic Building Mythbusting. Its a look at the stories we tell about ancient buildings, a debunking of some of those tales, and what we can learn about ourselves through folklore... the stories behind the stories 1/12🧵
