This is a hell of a thing. A terrifyingly low level attack on a power station near Paris in 1943 by Free French crew flying RAF Bostons (the British A-20 Havoc bomber variant). The A-20 was not the most agile aircraft ever, so this kind of flying under radar is a real feat.

@dorianlynskey.bsky.social it is nearly a week later and I still have “I’d rather jack” going through my head - this is a considerably better reason to pull Patreon funding than the pronunciation of Badenoch but I’m hanging in there - 3 parter on Labour wonderful so thanks to you and Ian
People forget the tyranny of the Reynolds Girls. Those scars run deep
I'm not saying 'only people aged 47 to 55 think Fleetwood Mac are bad' - obviously people of all ages have different opinions. But only people in that v specific age group think that 'Fleetwood Mac are bad' is a common sense, commonplace opinion.

They say a picture tells a thousand words - and this one definitely does.
I found it unexpectedly today while in search of another image and it stopped me in my tracks.

OK so feeling slightly apprehensive about this, which I suppose is kind of the point. This is an attempt at a progressive view on masculinity and on men getting laid. God help me. iandunt.substack.com/p/how-to-be-...
How to be a man
The right story narrative about male attractiveness is grounded in Social Darwinism and free market economics. Can progressives tell a better story?

It's not often that every single reader comment below an article is positive. What's even more impressive is that the article is 4,000 words about insurance.

@maxrushden.bsky.social clicked on your story in “Football Daily” (it’s still The Fiver) on Gianni and the Panini sticker and got this - does his influence extend as far as Fiver Towers?

By far my favorite part of South Korean elections: election night graphics. SBS television station kills it EVERY. TIME. They play these clips all night and they get more and more unhinged and creative as the night goes on.

Last month, Robert Armstrong coined the acronym 'Taco' — which stands for 'Trump always chickens out' — as a way to describe the US president's tariff approach and the way markets react to it.
