Reports of disturbances in #Barry. My dad's sister's second husband's third cousin lives there, and we drink in the same pub. He's gonna keep me in the loop.

The information on Barry is rolling in as we speak. Last night, 50 white men showed up to a fish🐟 and chip🍟 shop on 296 #HoltonRoad, if I recall correctly.

There seem to have been a few different instigators, a number of arrests were made in #Barry last night. They went to the fish and chip shop owned by #EdithGillespie, who has a husband who is a coloured man

They were all throwing stones at the fish and chip shop last night. I'm not sure that it was open, you know. My mate didn't say it was open.
At least one of these men is Jeremiah McCarthy. He was arrested last night in #Barry. He will later go on to say in court that he was drunk🍺, and that he wasn't aware he was throwing stones at the door🚪of the fish and chip shop

More on last night, according to the #SouthWalesEcho 🔊:

1. Crowds numbering thousands gathered on St. Mary St, Custom House, The Hayes, and ‘the top end of Bute-road’. This area of town was cordoned off ⚠️, and only business-owners were allowed to pass.
2. ‘The police were in strong force at all the danger points particularly at the entrances in the quarter where negroes reside’

That’s really cool?
3. Much of this crowd was obviously out for blood, trying to push into Butetown, but the Echo also says ‘there were 1000s of others, including 💃 and 👦🏼, who mingled in the crowd out of sheer curiosity’

So I got racially abused yday on the street and there was a lot of interesting parts of it.

First off, the group of people were about 18/19-ish years old. The eldest boy of the group called me a paki as I walked by +tried to ignore me as I asked him to say it louder+2 my face
He tried to ignore me but I fucking *flipped* knowing this would quickly escalate and the louder I was, the more likely people were to defend me if this was to escalate.

This is easily the 15th+ time I've been racially abused in this particular way in #Cardiff growing up
I asked him where he was from, and he said "CF24" and I turned around and said "one dydy ti ddim yn siarad Cymraeg, god, that's embarrassing, isn't it?" and I kept on

Finished season 1 of #Barry last night. I've never seen a tonal shift this intensely satisfying outside of anime. It's actually something I especially love in anime - funny/cutesy show that goes mega dark in a hurry.
I think there's actually a deeper meaning to this than just "this is an original idea." It really hammers home how you really can't balance a normal life with a life of crime. It may seem possible for a while, but it always catches up to you in the end.
I haven't watched Better Call Saul yet, but I gather it's more comedic than Breaking Bad and therefore maybe closer to this but yes, I frequently thought of BB while watching this.

Hi everyone.
I want to talk for a moment about a common narrative trope, "Person falls out of their normal life into a depressed state and after a timeskip emerges from it a comically exaggerated fat person."
Probably the easiest to recall and most egregious example of this is "Fat Adama" from the Battlestar Galactica remake, but honestly, it's super common across cultures. One of my favorite anime, Yuri on Ice, uses it as their entire story hook for the first two episodes.
On one level: yes, this is kind of understandable. The idea that grief or depression makes you 1.) less active and 2.) more inclined to eat certain types of foods does suggest that you might put on weight in such a time.

I assume you can sense my "HOWEVER"

I am going to celebrate one historic heroine of mine a day, for the duration of #WomensHistoryMonth
March 1st. Eleanor of Aquitaine (1122-1204CE). Duchess of Aquitaine. Queen of France. Queen of England. Warrior. Lawmaker. Giver of international conventions. Patron of arts. Cultural innovator. Regent of England. Mother of 3 Kings. A thread.
Eleanor dad was the Duke of Aquitaine, a land in modern France. It was somewhere between a quarter and a third of French territory, and the Dukes of Aquitaine were so rich and powerful that they treated the kings of France, technically their feudal lords, as equals. Lannisters.

Stop this garbage genre of "journalism". Bill Shine's wife is not a public figure. Stalking her social media posts and trying to stir up an outrage mob to go after her based on them is pathetic.
Have you checked out what Nancy Pelosi's third cousin posted on Facebook?

And it's the same reporters who do it every time. Try writing something that actually informs the public about something meaningful, instead of just trying to destroy people you don't like.
Same reporters that have yet to cover any of the anti-Semitism from a member of Congress are policing social media posts they don't like from the wife of a communications official in the WH.
