I refuse to believe otherwise.

We are London and we stand tall, together.

We have done so for almost two thousand years.

We are NOT just part of the country that surrounds us. We are one of its melting pots, and we help make it BETTER than the sum of its parts.
And ANYONE who wants to deny the value of that melting pot, of the beauty and benefit of multiculturalism to this country...

Well, they have to fucking come through us.
And last time I checked, there were about twelve million of us.

Bring it, Little Englanders.

Like Brave Sir Boris would warn his Uxbridge team he was about to abandon them.

They'll just arrive at the office one morning, find the stationery cupboard and petty cash are empty and that he's fucked off to Melton and Rutland in the middle of the night.
I mean COME ON. That's his entire MO.
Oh, and about two weeks later a MASSIVE bill for the Adult Channel will turn up.

How not to do a date field.

- Neither is range constrained
- Both fields just expect numbers
- No labels
- Not even placeholders. Which is month vs year? American style or not?
- Fails accessibility, obvs.
Oh, and RIGHT CLICK IS DISABLED.

You can't even inspect element to work it out.
Oh cool. No feedback on clientside but it'll server side validate AND STILL NOT TELL YOU WHICH FIELD IS WHICH!

Right. So this gives me an opportunity to tell my favourite WW2 tea story. I came across it in a short, limited run book of first-hand accounts of tea in combat published in 1945.

It's about a young lady, the Blitz, tea, and why small acts of kindness matter. (Pic: IWM) /1
This particular young lady was about 20 at the time and a WRVS volunteer (from memory). This had led to her being tasked with working on a tea van.

You know, the ones you see in a lot of photos of ruined London during WW2, serving victims and rescue workers
Now stop and think for a second about what this duty actually involves.

Most photos show the vans there in the AFTERMATH, but what you DON'T see is that THEY'D GO OUT DURING THE BOMBING TOO.

Wherever the emergency services were fighting fires/saving lives? They needed tea.

Loyal to a Fault: On Jewish identity in the time of Trump, Jewish values in the time of Netanyahu, and the looming religious argument whose outcome will define both. A thread. [1/many]
In 2012 @PeterBeinart looked at Israel and described a “crisis of Zionism.” I agree with him, but I think we need to go a step further. The growing sociopolitical divide between Israel and the diaspora is more than a crisis of Zionism:
It is more than a crisis of Israel-diaspora relations.

It is actually an identity crisis. It is a moral crisis. And, as I will explain, it is a religious crisis that runs to the very heart of modern Judaism.

Okay folks grab your bourbon because we’re doing this and tbh? It is amazingly bad. Leg-slappingly bad. The kind of bad we all hoped Ivanka’s book would be.

We’ll commence shortly!
This really only happened because I was tipsy and actually wondered what the left’s plot to remake America is, the left can’t seem to get its shit together enough to really say

But this lady apparently got the memo, so! We begin!
For those of you who are new here, this is part of an ongoing series in which I review silly or pseudo-important books

We’re gonna need the beer is all I’m saying, this one’s wild

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

THREAD: Are you excited about @Ocasio2018's overwhelming victory tonight?

Good. You should be.

Now here's what you do next.

⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
The first thing I need you to understand is that @Ocasio2018 didn't win because of a viral campaign ad (though it was a pretty kickass ad). She won because a tiny band of fiercely dedicated people BELIEVED she could win.

That's your first task: #Believe
.@Ocasio2018 also didn't crush Crowley because the establishment media suddenly decided to pay attention 3 weeks ago.

Team Ocasio, along with @BrandNew535 & @justicedems who jointly launched her campaign, have worked around the clock to make this, and other victories possible.
