Had a hand in researching and fact-checking this podcast series from Blanchard House. Now available on Audible. Joe Nocera narrates. Builds on the research of Fitzgerald grandees, Horst Kruse and Matthew J. Bruccoli. I may even feature myself ... audible.co.uk/pd/American-Dr…

@carolecadwalla @thenerve_news Another Tory donor was in the Turkish news last week: Huseyin Gun. Donated £50,000 in 2009. Now he is being tried for spying for Britain, Israel & US in Turkey. One of his contacts was Aaron Barr, pal of Palantir's Peter Thiel. Another (an Mi6 man) was an associate of Harborne.

Thread! 🧵 Please read, like, share & send the article to your friends. #TheHarbourneReceipts from @thenerve_news. Important accountability journalism into Nigel Farage & his crypto pals. Follow the money 💰 💰 💰

@carolecadwalla @thenerve_news I think its unlikely that this whole thing is solely about Harborne's crypto interests. The thing about crypto is that it's not always that easy to 'follow the money'.

@GavinEvs Just for one crazy moment I thought it was Ian Curtis of Joy Division.

Right as it's #totp Friday let's find this legend from an episode a few weeks ago, someone must know of his whereabouts 🤔

@atrupar A source of tension with Russia or the key to a better relationship.

Trump: “Hello, Greenland!”

@MsPocketRocket Champion. Loved that series. This and Casey Jones. Great theme tune. Would tear around the street on my bike singing that.

From the 1950s, name the horse.

@carolecadwalla @thenerve_news May sound a stupid question: but could Harborne's donations represent a consortium of interests? They are huge sums.

NEW: The Crypto Connection. @thenerve_news brings you…Part 1 of The Harbourne Receipts. A forensic examination of the cryptobillionaire’s donations & Nigel Farage’s crypto announcements. And guess what? There’s a pattern. Starting with the now infamous £5m gift. By @charlienotold & @LuciaOC_ 1/

How would you describe JK Rowling in one word?

@GavinEvs Lovely moves, lovely jumper. Lock up your daughters.

@Damaan4u33 Up against some stiff competition it has to be said.

@JohnSimpsonNews Listened the podcast. Interesting insight into AI's mirroring behavior. Disturbing stuff.

Wrapping up tonight’s Unspun World (#BBCTwo, 11.05) with cameraman Phil Darley. Has China now overtaken the US as a world power? What’s the cause of Britain’s political woes? And the disturbing ways AI can take over people’s lives and wreck them. Worth a watch!

@MsPocketRocket Ah. Couldn't have been more wrong really.

@repeat_the_past George was his real name.

Kojak starred Telly Savalas, what was the Christian name of his brother who also starred in the series?

@MsPocketRocket Yes. My mum watched it. As mum's did back in those days. I think they had their own TV schedule.

@repeat_the_past Kane and Abel

Name the 1985 tv mini series starring Sam Neill & Peter Strauss.

@crockpics I'm going to do the same thing with ours. Love it.

Easily the coolest propane tank, ever

@BBCSteveR Who knows, perhaps in a few short years we'll be talking about about a pipeline between China, Siberia, Russia and Greenland. And if current reports are anything to go by, maybe down through Alberta too. An arctic gas arc. :-)

One Russian paper says Russia's “on verge of recession” & warns of “a large-scale bank liquidity crisis.” After Putin & Xi failed to reach a deal on the 'Power of Siberia 2' pipeline, another paper writes: “Chinese media ignored the topic of the gas pipeline.” #ReadingRussia

Lawrence Washington - best man at the wedding of Scott Fitzgerald's parents had a glamourous heritage - the family of George Washington. I found the press got it slightly wrong. He was a desecedant of George's older brother Captain William A. Washington (1757-1810), not Lawrence.

@hullsaddler @GroomB Walkington! That rings a bell, thanks.

@repeat_the_past @GroomB Walkington or Bishop Burton perhaps?

In lovely Beverley to give a talk on ‘These Isles’.

@dieworkwear True, sadly.

terrible. 20 yrs ago, the internet was full of hobbyist blogs and forums. over time, these have been replaced by paywalled substacks and private discord channels, each a walled garden. google's decision to prioritize AI just makes it less likely ppl will create free, public info
