Historian, the kind with a PhD

This isn't really a tweeting account as much as a replying account, but for no good reason, have a curious cow...

@ignatius_sancho See DMs!

@lemnsissay @HelenPankhurst Good question!

I cherish this gift from @HelenPankhurst. It is a drawing by Sylvia Pankhurst printed on a 100% cotton sheet. A tea towel. I said "I want to frame it" and Helen said "It's a tea towel. Sylvia would have loved to know you used it as a Tea towel." What do I do? what do I do?

@PaulWBurmeister Just realizing we're listening to you! So odd when you hear what is (to us) a TdF voice 😊

@OokirstieoO @NBCOlympics @TeamGB Didn’t call any events today with a Kur-stee involved. I called Men’s Super Team ski jumping ?

@PaulWBurmeister Her name is pronounced "kur" + "stee", like thirsty but with a K. @NBCOlympics @TeamGB

WORTH REPEATING: Texas has 2.1M undocumented immigrants and Florida has 1.2M. Minnesota has 130,000. Don't let anyone tell you this is about immigration. It never was. Trump lost MN three times. That is what THIS is about, and it’s impeachable.

"The president should be impeached and convicted, as should everyone responsible for these outrages. ICE should be disbanded. So should the Department of Homeland Security. The other agencies within it should be redistributed across other departments. And the people who have killed should be investigated and brought before judges and juries."

@neverstraysfar When did Ned kill his account? Anyway all ok on bluesky... cheers!

@WhatsOnStage @LeeMack @ignatius_sancho @RichardAyoade How was it @ignatius_sancho ?? Emma is fabulous!

@lotsashots1 @DemocracyDocket I don't disagree, but do try to remember to never say never! Let's call it highly unlikely.

@newlibnewlab @DemocracyDocket Unfortunately that would never happen.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has granted a stay, allowing Texas to use its new congressional map in 2026, delivering a major win for President Donald Trump and his unprecedented national effort to rig the upcoming midterm elections. democracydocket.com/news-alerts/sc…

@tricky_trev @nedboulting @CyclingAlmanack Oddly not recognizing who that is on the cover!

Cheers @nedboulting and the @CyclingAlmanack team Always a good day when this arrives ...

@itvcycling Watching Gary tear up AGAIN made me cry. I'm grateful for the years I got to watch the TdF on ITV (am now in the US so have to pay for decent coverage!).

'reflections'

@lotsashots1 @DemocracyDocket Would be a good reason to finally secede.

@DemocracyDocket Now they will block California’s effort to counter Texas

@ClareChoir @harmoniamundi @johnmrutter @mrgrahamross I shouldn't be your only like! Are you folks on bluesky yet???

🎥 💿 One week to go until the deluxe Christmas Edition of our new @harmoniamundi album ‘John Rutter: A Clare College Celebration’, is released! lnk.to/RutterChristmas @johnmrutter: Shepherd’s Pipe Carol @ClareChoir The Dmitri Ensemble @mrgrahamross, conductor

@lemnsissay Holy cannoli Lemn! That photo is Carmel California! My parents were married and I was baptised there a few years later. 😍

@nedboulting Would love to read this but sadly can't afford any subscriptions... still, the 10 years I spent in the UK I always enjoyed you on ITV and also your in person one man show. 👍

@GeraintThomas86 @LeTour Somehow didn't realize that 2007 was your first! I as marshalling in Kent later. Thanks for sharing your talents and humor with the cycling world 🙏

My first Tour de France TT ➡️ my last, from London in 2007 to Peyragudes in 2025. Don’t reckon I’ve aged a day 🤣👌 Been a pleasure #TDF2025

@antmccrossan @nicholasroche Wondering all day: why did the stage for jersey presentations say "Puy de Dôme" on one side, and in the middle? Obviously the finish was Puy de Saucy. 🤔

@antmccrossan @nicholasroche I cannot believe neither of you like escargots! I love escargots! And I am more likely squeamish... Best is with butter, garlic and herbs IMHO, but I have had them many ways. Most recently en croute with cream sauce (& in the US!). 😋

@nedboulting p.s. I watched ITV coverage for 10+ years but left the UK in 2019 so can't see you guys now. (I get Ant/Nico.)

@nedboulting Hey Ned, is it true you said on the broadcast that Remco pulling Tadej up the Mur was a smart move? It seems to me that anyone but UAE ever pulling for Tadej (purposely or not) is really... well, stupid. Your thoughts welcome.
