Umberto Eco wrote about the 14 Common Features of #Fascism

Eco grew up in Mussolini’s Italy, experiencing first hand the rise of fascism.

It’s not a revolution, but by infecting society with anger and resentment, and by dividing people

The end of this house move is in site.

1hr sleep last night. Lift broke down around 3am. Teaching 5hrs today.

I’m now beyond tired. Beyond hungry. My back is killing me. I want coffee ☕️

Giving myself 5 more hours to sort this flat out.

Then probably another few trips with remaining bags/boxes

This 2 bed apartment was basically a Tardis. A Tardis full of utterly pointless stuff.

Also, did you know that the Chinese word for “crisis” contains the characters for “danger” and “opportunity”…?

Took a class in drilling.

Beginning to think I should’ve stayed for the full half hour.

Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 vs Denmark 🇩🇰

An entire new generation of Scots will soon know what it feels like to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory

I just walked out of federal court where I pleaded NOT GUILTY to the charges against me.

I will continue to stand up to authoritarianism and call this out for what it is: a political prosecution.

Have to put a disclaimer on Facebook that we won't actually blow it all on a wedding , and a lot will be put to the side for the kids. I was self employed and its highly unlikely i'll be able to return to sites, despite my absolute desire to get back to work.
@evertonfc.com were fantastic with Paul, Lisa, Izzy and Olly at the weekend.

Makes you proud(er) to be an #Everton fan

Any Blues still wishing to contribute the the wedding (honeymoon) fund can find link in the article or in post below.

My good friend Jamie is going to help we with some decorating this weekend.

After much discussion, he persuaded me to keep it simple. A light, neutral colour.

And then we found this!

Decision made. 😂💙

I’ve bought a washer dryer that allows a truly authoritarian level of surveillance.

And like all good authoritarians, I shall surveil it to the maximum extent possible.

#Everton vs Arsenal rescheduled.

Now 8pm KO on Sat 20th December

“Serenity” is not the word that comes to mind imagining 50k Evertonians descending on town and mixing with all those once-a-year drinkers out on the ale.
