    So pleased that won Best Documentary at the Baftas. It's an extraordinary piece of work and really should be seen by everyone (it's available in the UK on ).

    Joaquin Phoenix went IN on the lack of diversity at the in a powerful winning speech: "I think we send a very clear message to people of colour that you're not welcome here... We have to do the hard work to truly understand systemic racism."

    I’d never read this lecture by Tony Benn before. It’s interesting, and feels particularly relevant for today’s US.

    it’s very clear what the game is here step 1: openly rig elections step 2: shield the offender from political or legal accountability step 3: “win” the rigged election step 4: “We have a mandate from the American people."

    While I understand why the school history curriculum is what it is, it’s kind of wild that we spend so much time on eg the Tudors, while basically ignoring these aspects of more recent British history.

    I am reading a modern history of the Middle East, and although I was dimly aware, it’s the first time I’ve fully comprehended Britain’s pivotal role in the history of Egypt as well as Iraq, Kuwait, Persia/Iran, Oman, Bahrain, the Emirates, Jordan and Palestine.

    I mean, there were no political parties until something like a decade into the existence of the country, so there wasn't any real discussion of partisan politics by the founders, but... ok, grandpa.

    I never realized J. Taney explicitly stated as a rationale in Dred Scott decision his fear that extending citizenship to blacks would afford them a right to bear arms. This definitely shows the individual right interpretation of 2A goes back.

    I hope the cuts to English language World Service news staff don’t affect the Global News Podcast - that’s an example of the BBC at its best.

    Small but important correction: Carla had finished her course of chemo shortly before going on the programme. Still very impressive though!

    Very proud of Carla Devlin (nee Ashford) who competed in Channel 4's 'SAS Who Dares Wins' while undergoing chemo. Carla was based at during her time in the GB rowing team, and she's great.

    So basically, Dersh is arguing that if the President decides what he's doing is in the public interest, no matter what it is, it can't be impeachable? That's absolutely insane.

    This stunningly detailed photograph was taken on Saturday 11th September 1869 and shows the construction of the Holborn Viaduct. So much magic to zoom into and see in this picture. I particularly love the advertisements. 😍

    If a residential street has become a rat-run for traffic dodging queues on the A3, who's that an issue for - the Local Authority, TfL or someone else?
