It seems no one is covering themselves in glory today with regard to the Coronation arrests.

It’s a bit worrying when the former head of the CPS thinks maybe a sticky plaster of some better ‘guidance’ would gloss over the fact a very draconian and authoritarian piece of legislation has been pushed through Parliament at break neck speed and it’s already led to the Met using it for arbitrary detention.

1/ Russia's defence industry has deep weaknesses that mean it's unlikely to be able to meet government targets for boosting production, according to independent journalists who have interviewed employees working for weapons manufacturers. ⬇️

1/ Rampant corruption is reported to have rendered Russia's ballistic missile early warning system virtually useless. Scams by contractors are said to have led to unsuitable components being used on a wide scale. ⬇️

@mraharrison @corycarson Often seems like Geography is another example if we consider the fact that it can be taken as a science, a social science or in the arts faculty at university. Sometimes these things show the artificial boundaries we place between subjects.

As an anthropologist, for me one intriguing aspect of the #coronation was that, of course, #Charles3 studied #Anthropology himself. The first time perhaps that an anthropologist designed and was the central figure in a power ritual all about himself!

Crazy that a law designed to let the Met Police do what they want without consequence is being used by the Met Police to do what they want without consequence.

I don't see how anyone could have predicted that.

Toujours des sujets, jamais des citoyens.

On 5th May 1945, the SS launched an assault on Itter Castle in Austria.

Defending the castle were a mix of US Army and Wehrmacht soldiers, and French politicians, celebrities who had been prisoners of war.

It remains one of the most unique battles of WW2, and the only major documented instance of the US Army and Wehrmacht fighting side-by-side.

Here's how this remarkable series of events unfolded /1 🧵 #history #histodons

OK web experts. I need advice. I have an old website that was built in Dreamweaver >15 years ago. The content is useful to us but it hasn't been updated in over a decade… How can one fork the content out of the site and into something new? Any suggestions? There are about 150 pages and each links to 1-4 jpg files…

So folks, don't forget to check if your Ikea chair is compatible with your screen. I'm not kidding. A thread 🧵.

I've had the problem with my new screen for several weeks now, that every now and then the screen goes black for a few seconds.

Today I had enough and wanted to investigate the problem. So I started changing all the cables, plugging the screen into a different socket, and and and. Nothing helped.
