Picked this up from @sharkbitesteve.bsky.social at Thought Bubble and it’s excellent. Digging (biting?) into the dark reality of what happened to Quint’s USS Indianapolis. Very recommended.
Churchill apparently declared that the British Government was ‘entirely opposed to sharks.’

One millennial complaint that I have no sympathy for is how hard it is to search for things on the internet these days. When I was a kid if I wanted to know something I had to look it up in a book. And that book was often in a library. Or sometimes in a bookshop, but they were not inviting places.
