Don't believe this ever came to the U.S. - but Anthony Newley did.
Rodney Marshall@RodneyMarshall1Oct 22
Hard to define Anthony Newley's six-part television meta series which began its initial broadcast on this day back in 1960. It tested TV genres and viewers' expectations. Much loved by many artists who went on to experiment themselves, including David Bowie and Patrick McGoohan.

Garry Kasparov
@Kasparov6322h
The point of the post-World War II global order was to freeze borders and avoid wars of conquest. But Putin won’t accept the 1991 Russian borders he agreed were valid many times, because he needs war to survive. As for historical lands, Russia's should go back a bit further…

@Biz_Ukraine_MagOct 22
Putin once again attempted to justify the invasion of Ukraine today by claiming to be recovering "historical Russians lands." In addition to Ukraine, a further fifteen countries were also part of the Russian Empire in 1914. It delusional to think Putin's imperial ambitions end with Ukraine

Putin's diesel arrives in New York Nov 7 aboard the Agioi Fanendes: 40,000 tons, the first Russian fuel cargo since 2022. It's coming in on a Treasury license that sidesteps federal law. New York should refuse to be the loading dock for Putin's war chest. 🧵 1/5

Very nice scoop from @MotherJones, but missing a bit of flavor. Anna Paulina Luna has become Kirill Dmitriev's agent of influence in U.S. Congress and she routinely insists Ukraine is the real obstacle to peace and Russia is the best friend America just hadn't made yet. Bet you'll never guess who her husband's drone company, Nocturnal AI, partners with to boost its bottom line and secure those lucrative Pentagon contracts. Wait for it... motherjones.com/politics/202…

This guy was BIG. #Boethius
Steve Finley@fionnlaidhOct 23
Boethius died this date in 524. The last philosopher of antiquity; the first philosopher of the middle ages. Neoplatonist influenced by Porphyry and Iamblichus. Reconciled Plato and Aristotle with Christian theology. Wrote On the Consolation of Philosophy while awaiting execution
