I don't like it, but I'll have to go along with it.

Partridge, history, politics, crap references and probably asinine takes is the aim, shitposting is the game
Many stars on the rise!

After three days of talks with Polanski, no deal is in sight, but Keir Starmer has a noticeably bigger chest.

Folks, Pope Clement VII, total loser, he got captured, i don't like pope's that got captured by Charlie 2 chins. We're gonna make out our own beautiful church of England, it's going to be great

Starmer is much more of a Minecraft player. Neat, ordered town with animals kept as far away as they were irl.

Badenoch however would play Bloodbourne and identify the sickness killing Yharnam as wokeness
I would quite enjoy watching a stream of Starmer playing GTA.

Funny old time. I'd just missed my deadline for my dissertation equivalent, drowning in debt and working near full time to keep afloat in my student house. I remember noticing Covid more and more but thinking that this would be like swineflu, and then my coworkers were suddenly self-isolating
I would really really love to hear other people's notes/strong memories about the specifics of this. I feel like we were all in such trauma that the memories have vanished fast, leaving a blanket of "oh god yuck awful" which isn't helpful for understanding how it's affected us.

I have this feeling that over the next few weeks I might like to note and mark what I was doing five years ago. Because it is big and real and still feels incredibly present in our lives.

I'll use the hashtag #fiveyearson which as far as I can tell is only used about Covid. Do mute if you need.

Baguette bread, slightly hollowed out, butter, English mustard to act as a glue at the top, salami, red onion, rocket and a slight sprinking of grated cheese: with some paprika crisps if there's room left. Heavenly.

The Norman conquest, and it's associated events, really bear a closer examination than just the events of 1066.

I really hope the Millenial anniversary captures the imagination the way it should
When asked for advice for young entrepreneurs, the previous Duke of Westminster, Gerald Grosvenor, replied: “Make sure they have an ancestor who was a very close friend of William the Conqueror.” Today, less than 1% of the population owns at least half of England. @tortoisemedia.bsky.social
