Once again spreading Odin’s love among the local weirdos.

@TheMobRules73 @JeanHatchet Nothing. Not a single difference. They’re quite literally the same

@JeanHatchet whats the difference between what THEY are doing and this? Im dead serious...whats the differnce?

A bizarre moment from the Sheffield Jew Hunt tonight. This man says he is going to report us for "racism and anti-Semitism". He then comes over to us and becomes aggressive though we have maintained a distance. Suddenly he spots the tiny Star of David pin I am wearing in support of Jewish people and becomes incensed and says "that's a fascist flag!" He had told us he was Jewish. He is wearing a Keffiyeh and talking about liberation of Palestine. The old people are not alright.

Who knew there was a Roman fish farm in Alicante? I worked on a fish farm in Tildargs years ago. This one would have been a lot more pleasant

Today is a good day to admire Vendel 🇸🇪 from whence Vendel Period receives its name.

For anyone who might have missed the initial announcement last week, there’s a new interview up with Viking Age historical fiction author @TimHodkinson! scandinavianaggression.com/2026/03/ymirs-…

@_FrancesOwen @GervaseWebb Did you buy it at 1p a tin?

@GervaseWebb Now that's a fine sight

Found a tin of Brasso and thought I’d give my favourite pans a Spring treat.

Ends tomorrow! scandinavianaggression.com/about-the-book

Remembering Patrick McGoohan, BOTD in 1928 in Astoria, Queens, NYC. Actor, director, writer. Unpredictable, creative, self-willed, demanding, anarchic. More than anything else, perhaps, a unique force of nature. Six of my favourite on-screen Pat performances... 1/7

@simon_schama It’s like the whole Western world is regressing to the state of the latter part of the Weimar Republic. It’s the doom of men that they forget

appalling

New Ymir’s Corpse interview up on Scandinavian Aggression today, this time with historical fiction author, @TimHodkinson! In the interview we discuss his Old Norse inspirations, the mighty Yorkshire coprolite, New England craft breweries, and more! scandinavianaggression.com/2026/03/ymirs-…

"Kill them all. God will know his own" – an extract from my latest Robin Hood novel angusdonaldbooks.com/robin-hood/kil…

Sad news

@KAH0852 @lukOlejnik The tests were also written by AI

@lukOlejnik Are they implementing untested code? That sounds like a serious internal control issue regardless of how the code was created.

Amazon is holding a mandatory meeting about AI breaking its systems. The official framing is "part of normal business." The briefing note describes a trend of incidents with "high blast radius" caused by "Gen-AI assisted changes" for which "best practices and safeguards are not yet fully established." Translation to human language: we gave AI to engineers and things keep breaking? The response for now? Junior and mid-level engineers can no longer push AI-assisted code without a senior signing off. AWS spent 13 hours recovering after its own AI coding tool, asked to make some changes, decided instead to delete and recreate the environment (the software equivalent of fixing a leaky tap by knocking down the wall). Amazon called that an "extremely limited event" (the affected tool served customers in mainland China).

@fandompulse @MadocLeonard David Niven was probably closer, imo

Christopher Lee said Pierce Brosnan was the best and closest version of James Bond. Is he right? "In my opinion - and I think I know as much if not more about Bond than anyone, particularly about the characters on whom [Ian Fleming] told me Bond was based - Pierce Brosnan was by far the best and closest to the character. "

Don't lie...?

@bazzdgrogan @holland_tom Was he in Erasure?

@holland_tom James II erasure

"It is hard to think of any precedent for the arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the King's brother," claims the BBC.

@holland_tom There was a time he’d have been in a butt of malmsey by now

@tonyiommi @gibsonguitar I did not know it was your birthday. Many happy returns and thanks for all the great music

@mdtpodcast Brilliant episode

Just posted: a prelude appendix to our upcoming Ep. 120, about saints' lives. Today, for the holiday, we will be hearing some lives of St. Valentine (who might in fact be two different people). bit.ly/MDTApp120
