Saw these on Vinted. Fabulous! I love neutral trousers. If there's one thing I can't stand, it's warmongering trousers who take sides!

Anyone studying or interested in German History, The Holocaust, The Weimar Republic, should read the books of Professor Frank McDonough @fxmc1957.bsky.social
I've found them incredibly valuable.
A great review in The Times today.

A closer to home episode of Waldy and Bendy Adventures in Art for me this week. Britain's greatest forger, Shaun Greenhalgh. The Art world, the class system and the justice system all under the microscope. I'm glad I'm on the planet at the same time as these three chaps.
New episode of the podcast just out. We discuss: Britain's greatest forger; why London gets all the art; and what's going on in all those mad Mary Magdalene paintings.

@christyfarrelly.bsky.social, Doug Bradley is returning to voice Pinhead for this upcoming game. I’m hoping it will give you the option to unlock ‘Scouse Mode’.

Awful Royal Portraits and a fascinating talk on Waldy and Bendy Adventures in Art with Andrew Graham-Dixon about Vermeer......also, The Swanny Awards! @bendorgrosvenor.bsky.social @januszczak.bsky.social
This week on the podcast, we interview Andrew Graham-Dixon about Vermeer, lay into the BBC's arts coverage, and ask why royal portraits are so bad.

Why is it that in the UK, whenever one mentions the office of President, the knee jerk reaction is Trump or Putin and never the man next door.
Interesting perspective on the two terms of the Irish president Michael D Higgins, which end tonight.
