Thank you to those who have asked me to write a book. I do these stories, and will be podcasting in the near future, thanks to the support of my followers.

Happy, however, to talk about a 'Stuchbery's Book of Horrible Historical Stories', if any publishers are interested...
Tho, due to possible trademark infringement, let's change that to 'Stuchbery's Big Book of Historical Atrocities'.
Also, to make sure I'm absolutely positively accurate in my retelling of some tales, I'd probably have to go to various parts of Europe. Yes, that's it. Totally.

It's been gratifying to see James Goddard of the Far Right UK 'Yellow Vest’ protesters have his means of crowdfunding taken away today, but it's important to remember that he's one node in a UK network, all revolving around 'Tommy Robinson'. Here's what it is & why it matters...
This network eschews tactics of the traditional Far Right - marches, mainly - in favour of a media-savvy approach that is cheeky, subversive & imbues a sense of belonging. A 'Diet Fascism', egged on & informed by ‘Alt-Right’ successes in the US - & the influence of Steve Bannon.
Completely central to this network is the use of live-streaming, online video and crowdfunding tech. Once put in place, it doesn't need shadowy backers. It simply uses donations, garnered from online appeals in regular videos. A perpetual motion machine of hate.

This year is the 350th anniversary of the death of Rembrandt Van Rijn, one of the greatest painters of all time & Dutch hero.

One of the coolest things happening is an exhibition at the @friesmuseum about him & the love of his life, Saskia Van Uylenburgh... THREAD 1/
There's no doubt that Rembrandt, born in 1606, was a talent to be reckoned with. However, many have considered he lacked focus, that he needed a muse to bring out his best work. /2
Lucky, then, that when he came to Amsterdam in the 1630s, he met Saskia van Uylenburgh - a lively, intelligent young woman from a good family, with an independent spirit.

She chose Rembrandt - some said she married down in choosing the young artist. /3

Ha, someone's reported me to @kofi_button for... something and they've unpublished my page. I'm waiting to hear what exactly was responsible for the banhammer coming down.
One might say poetic justice. I might even agree with you. Let's see what did me in...
What a shame, I was considering @Kofi_Button Gold...

“Those who know the Blue-Eared Glossy Starling Bird should mourn with Indigo Dye;
Those who know the Carmine Bee-Eater should mourn with Camwood;
Those who know the Cow Egret should mourn with White Chalk.”

This is how the death of Bola Ige was announced on some Radio stations.
What I posted is a translation, what was announced was in Yoruba:

“Eni ba mo agbe k’o sun’kun aro;
Eni ba mo aluko k’o sun’kun osun;
Eni ba mo lekeleke k’o sun’kun efun”.

The death of Bola Ige is undoubtedly the last ethnically tragic event that happened to the Yorubas.
Of all the politicians who lived after Awolowo, none was more colourful (perhaps even more than Awo himself) and none was as charismatic as Bola Ige.

Unfortunately for him, he also stirred deep envy from his friends and deep hatred from those who chose to be his enemies.

I got into programming late. My first experience with it was in high school, AP Computer Science. Funny enough, it made me feel discouraged about programming. 😫
The class was confusing. I had a hard time grasping what classes and objects were. Needless to say, I got a 2 out of 5 on the exam 😬
