On This Day in 1801: the world's first blackboard was put up by James Pillans, headmaster of the Royal High School in Edinburgh. He also invented coloured chalk to help him draw maps. Scots have chalked up a few other inventions, as you can see 😉

Dear Bradford Council, It isn’t a “multi cultural tree”. It’s a CHRISTMAS TREE. Christmas is a Christian holiday, Britain is a Christian nation, and that is a Christmas tree. You wouldn’t dare do this to Muslims. So stop trying to erase us. Sincerely, Christians everywhere

Ruth Baron, 99, was a Jewish codebreaker who helped crack Nazi Germany’s Enigma machine and change the course of World War II. She passed away on December 22, just a few days ago. She was one of the last surviving members of Bletchley Park—the British codebreaking center that secretly changed the outcome of World War II. Ruth Bourne was born in 1925 in London to a Jewish family. By the time she turned 18 in 1943, Nazi Germany controlled most of Europe. At that point, The Holocaust was destroying Jewish lives by the thousands every single day. Ruth wanted to help. But at 18, with limited options for women during wartime, she didn't know how. Then she received an unusual summons. Report to a government facility in Buckinghamshire. Tell no one. Ask no questions. She arrived at Bletchley Park not knowing what she'd been recruited for: inside, thousands of people were working on Britain's most vital secret: breaking Nazi codes. Operators like Ruth decoded the actual messages, indexed them, analyzed patterns, and passed urgent intelligence to military commanders. She famously decoded Nazi messages planning operations that would kill Allied soldiers, decoded intel about plan D-Day plans, the largest military invasion in history, and likely helped save hundreds with her work. She has has passed away at 99. Working in total secrecy, she was a true hero. 🕯️

A valuable flute went missing yesterday from the owner's bike on the way to a lunchtime session in Cassidy's in Camden St. It has huge sentimental value and a reward has been offered. If anyone sees it, please send a DM. RTs appreciated.
