As Houthi militants in Yemen attacked ships with missiles and drones in the Red Sea early last year, top U.S. officials gathered at the Pentagon to prepare military options for President Trump. Their meetings repeatedly grew tense.

Burnham urged to ‘end cycle of harm’ after scale of child-on-child sexual abuse revealed
Nearly 90 organisations write to Andy Burnham urging him to take decisive action to end violence against women and girls • From unwanted touching to rape: the scale of child-on-child abuse A coalition of nearly 90 organisations has written to the prime minister calling for “decisive action” on violence against women and girls after a Guardian investigation revealed the scale of child-on-child sexual abuse in schools in England and Wales. The groups urged Labour to redouble efforts to deliver on its manifesto promise to halve violence against women and girls (VAWG) and “end this cycle of harm once and for all”. Continue reading...

Still, Iran seems to be inflicting enough damage that the companies running the blockade are still charging ridiculous premiums. It’s hard to lower the cost of crude when the shippers are charging ~$30/barrel as reported. That makes it worth doing, but doesn’t help Trump much.

This implies that the U.S. has suppressed Iranian ISR. That is interesting, and probably not as straightforward as it sounds. It’s one thing to destroy Iranian sensors and teams operating on the Iranian coast. It’s another to suppress covert Iranian assets operating in Oman, or the strait.
"Current intelligence suggests that the recent pattern of incidents may not necessarily represent deliberate targeting of individually selected merchant vessels,"
Marisks said.
"Instead, available information indicates the possibility that Iranian forces are launching missiles into a predetermined engagement area or 'kill box', with weapons potentially acquiring and locking onto available radar signatures within that area."
Physical presence within the engagement zone at the relevant time could itself represent the primary exposure, it added.

Are You Kidding Me?
Can this Great Horned Owl's eyes get any bigger?
I'm excited that my photo "Are You Kidding Me?" was selected as one of just 43 finalists in the Nikon Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards, from more than 10,000 entries representing 112 countries!
The story behind it is just as crazy. I was photographing this seven-week-old owlet when a squirrel suddenly launched from a nearby branch and landed directly on its head, knocking both of them out of the tree.
And believe it or not, a squirrel knocked this same owlet out of the tree THREE TIMES that morning! Fortunately, the owlet was fine and eventually settled down next to its mother.
