I was at my son’s doing some essential DIY for him (supposed to be putting up shelves). I looked to see these on the picture ledger - figures I did more than 50 years ago! French Imperial Guard. The Lancer is a Stadden “Standish” metal kit. The Chasseur is a Historex kit.

"Argentina's done it. Russia's done it. Turkey's done it. Venezuela's done it. And Zimbabwe's done it. It's a thing that tin pot dictators do... right before starting a hyperinflation and destroying their own economies."

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

Welcome to 2026. Where the world order as we knew it seems to be over. What next? Taiwan? Greenland? Balkans?
The U.K. must double down on its relationship with the EU. For it is Europe alone that is now leader of the free world.

Jaws was released across the UK on this day 50 years ago. These terrific photos are from an on set scrapbook kept by actor Al Wilde, who played Harry Wiseman (aka "Bad Hat Harry")

A most excellent thread of old time cats!🐈⬛
Since everything is awful and it’s nearly Christmas, who’d like some pictures of ship’s cats? Don’t worry dog lovers, a canine thread’s coming soon! Let’s start with Tiddles, sitting in his favourite spot on the carrier HMS Victorious in 1943 (he liked playing with the bell rope)

Peebles on HMS Western Isles, flagship of the Anti-Submarine training school at Tobermory, Scotland (1944). Here, he’s jumping ‘through the hoop’; another party piece was apparently shaking the hands of visitors to the wardroom.

If you are unsure about trans people or you want to be an ally please read this short thread from Caroline Litman about her views and her daughter Alice. Thank you. 🙏
This is why I’m here:
🧵Trigger warning: suicide
I am the proud mum of a trans woman, Alice.
Alice came out to her best friend, Lucy when she was sixteen, to her sister, Kate a few months later. She didn’t come out to me. Why not? Probably because I’d absorbed media transphobia 1/10
