This is a truly amazing story.
Meet the destroyer HMS Glowworm. In April 1940 she was forced to fight the German Heavy Cruiser Admiral Hipper, ten times her size, and Hipper's destroyer escorts.
Her extraordinary last stand earned her captain the first Victoria Cross of WW2. In part because THE GERMANS nominated him for one /1 🧵

Just made @radiofreetom.bsky.social's leg of lamb recipe. Very tasty. Only edit is that it took 2:45, not 3:30, which would have been medium well to well done.

@profdaf.bsky.social Ask, and a few posts down my timeline, ye shall receive.
There was, at one point in human history, a guy who thought "we should fly into hurricanes," then did it without permission, then convinced people this was a good idea to keep doing.
His name was Joe Duckworth.

I don't get why some people think it's important for Bluesky to add video - why not just upload to YouTube and link?

Recently finished @premeemohamed.com's "No One Will Come Back For Us." Really impressive, some of the best short SFF I've read in a long time. In the words of Charles Stross, "is good, you read."
