Q: We’ve been getting a lot of questions about an alleged Winston Churchill quotation and I’m trying to verify if it’s genuine. The story is that when Churchill was asked to cut funding to the arts in order to support the war effort in World War II, he responded “Then what would we be fighting for?” Have you ever seen this quote? I’ve seen a lot of sources saying that it’s fake but I would love to get your opinion.

The quote came to mind about 80% through Ken Burns Brandeis address.

I stumbled across this today as I was collecting 🖇️ these. I nearly moved through because ‘Kelly’ - but I am a sucker for Jeff, so …

.. I was under the impression he had only recently written it - but this from 13 years ago - suggests otherwise.

We all get that broken link message from time to time don’t we? What is particularly interesting on this post is to find EIGHT blocks - I wonder if it is the writers insisting on the block - I don’t think there I any other constant.

Don’t worry, it’s not my usual rant. Just a very funny piece of standup that needs to be watched more than it has.

Whatever you are doing … stop … and 🔗 📼 😂 spend 5 minutes watching this.

At the beginning of the year I had grand plans for this series. A daily long-form post about something that was rattling my brain that day. And then life. For a while, I was even just dropping markers - to revisit. I came to realise that part of the problem was the complexity of the structure for each post - so that went away. Simplicity really is rather nice. As I write on 240413, I am now going back and filling in the gaps. PLUS - unless something strikes me immediately, I will not classify until the end of the day and go back to move one of the posts of the day into the 366. Also - if you are wondering how I have update the words at the bottom of over 100 posts at a stroke, well - THANK YOU Andy Sylvester and his Glossary plugin.
