Has anyone read this? I downloaded it as an audiobook, but history books really don’t work for me in audio format. Does anyone have the print copy? And is it worth reading? #history

I watched the original RoboCop the other night. Almost 40 years old. And it’s still one of the best satires of American consumerism ever committed to film.

Am currently addicted to chilli oil. Thought I’d try it in scrambled eggs. And it actually works really well (topped with spring onions and a dash of soy sauce). 🤌

If you're in need of some escapism this weekend, then I can thoroughly recommend Gymkata, the (only, it's fair to say) gymnastics/karate crossover movie from the '80s. Don't pay any mind to the reviews. They just can't handle this much awesome. watch.plex.tv/en-GB/movie/...

I’ve been reading a lot about the Plantagenet and Tudor periods recently, so I’m very much looking forward to this one by @willowwinsham.bsky.social. Not sure it can get much more unsettling/gruesome than extracts from ‘Foxe’s Book of Martyrs’, though. Although it probably will. 😬

What a weird thing to wake up to. My favourite post-Fergie United player. Watched the club get systematically destroyed by rapacious owners. Watched the only coach that understood him get treated like dirt by our fans. And saw dross signings year on year. Good luck to him. Always one of our own.

I’m currently reading about the Wars of the Roses, and I had to print this out, because it’s a Gordian Knot of aristocratic nonsense!
