He’s our ersatz ambassador to Ukraine and Belarus —just a “Special Envoy,” not a real one, because no one in the GOPnik Party takes diplomacy seriously at any level.

I really wish the media would pay more attention to @jonworth.eu, as it's still very unclear whether these trains will / can run through the channel tunnel... www.euronews.com/travel/2026/...

Eurostar’s new trains will feature double-decker cocktail bars
The two-storey bars aboard Eurostar Celestia will be open to all passengers.

That coordination meeting in full. - Commander - Commander - let me brief you, Admir… - it’s okay, my aides briefed me on the flight. Unless you lost Aden since we touched down I’m up to speed - very well, so? - you’re fucked. We’re all fucked. Everything is fucked. I’m off to grab a beer in Amman.

This is important, even with the gains as they currently are, it greatly increases Houthi control over the entrance to the Red Sea, making it much easier for them to attack ships. Their surveillance is improved, distances reduced, and coastal coverage increased

Good point. Once the arrivals issue is no longer as salient, the only thing left to the racist fascists is to come after those of us already here. It won't be pretty, as the social housing policy already shows, and having a passport won't protect you from ethane-fascism and the Neo Nazis.

Does no one else find this an unforgivably stupid question? Emissions reductions won't make a heat wave NOW survivable. Likewise, more homes can have AC, heat pumps while overall cutting greenhouse emissions. This isn't an "either/or", both are needed. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Anyone pushing for wartime elections in Ukraine needs to explain the logistics. How do you include frontline troops and ensure occupied regions can vote? How do you protect voters from strikes? How do you keep Russia from weaponizing the chaos to weaken and divide Ukraine?

There's something darkly ironic about how the 2015 era Russian propaganda push to obfuscate their involvement in the War in Donbas was arguably too effective on western audiences because it's 2026 and people still trot out this talking point despite the Russians not even bothering to push it anymore
