Shall I tell you something geeky but (I think) fascinating? When the Blair Foundation adopted the “for the many, not the few” motto, everyone assumed a masterful bit of trolling. Well, maybe not. 1/3

I was doing some work for a piece and came across some old articles on Blair changing Clause IV. Guess what *exact words* were drafted by Tony Blair in the then new Clause IV, (resisted by people like Benn and Corbyn, and voted against by Abbott. 2/3

So, in fact, the Blair Foundation adopting that motto was a reclaiming of a phrase Blair actually came up with, in the teeth of people like Corbyn. Interesting, no? 3/3

jungkook’s mother is forcing him on a vacation with their family and close relatives. jungkook’s dreading the two months he’ll have to spend with them far from the city. he definitely doesn’t expect himself to take an interest in yoongi, kind and caring yoongi.+

but also one of his cousin’s friend and a grown man 25 years older than him. it really shouldn’t happen- this thing between the two of them, but it does anyway and they get themselves in a terrible yet beautiful mess.

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...

@FBI

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...

I’m an avid history geek 🤓 and I got this idea from @GippersChutzpah!
My follower count is currently stuck in the mid ages. I’ll tweet some Jewish history milestones from along the years, according to my follower count. So come on, I’m 4 followers short of the first story...

@Israel

On 13/12/1204, Moshe Ben Maimon AKA #Maimonides (Greek) and Ha’Rambam (Hebrew), died at 69 in Egypt.
A Philosopher, Physician, Astronomer and one of most important #Jewish Scholars of all times.
Buried in Tiberias @Israel, upon final request to be buried in the ancient homeland

WOW! 3 followers away from yet another milestone of #JewishHistory!
So far we learned about some pogroms 😠(1171 France, 1190 England) and Maïmōnídēs dying 😢(1204 Egypt).
JewishHistory is filled with sorrow and darkness but it gets better in the 2nd half of the 20th century 😉
