Look, maybe Khamenei can buy some of Trump's memecoin and we can all move on from this.

I think going to war with Iran is a terrible idea, but no one believes this “two weeks” bit. He’s used it a million times before to pretend he might be doing something he’s not. It just makes America look weak and silly.

A favourite thing about the Falkland Islands referendum was that only three people voted against remaining British despite the fact there were 11 Argentinians with voting rights.

The best way to conceptualize Jake Tapper's Joe Biden book is that a lot of media views problems that occur under Democratic administrations as caused by Democrats, and problems that occur under Republican administrations as caused by Democrats not having prevented Republicans winning an election.

Shows pretty clearly that Trump got rolled by Netanyahu - the same “we will attack with or without you” gambit that every other president back to Obama managed to resist, and Trump just crumpled like dry leaves.

“Sky trackers”—another data point related to the F-35 invisibility thing. I think what we’re zeroing on here is that it isn’t *stealth* that Trump finds incomprehensible, per se, but rather *radar*

“We don’t trade children. That’s madness - and by the way, it’s something the Russians actually proposed: we give them soldiers, and they give us children. It’s simply beyond comprehension, beyond international law. But it’s typical of them. Children must be returned,” Zelensky stated.

Police departments have exponentially more control over how officers are recruited, trained, and overseen than a protest does over its participants, but are allowed by a sympathetic press to use the "bad apples" defense to separate deeds from goals and institutions in a way protestors often aren't.

The death of non-algorithmic text feeds is a real problem for getting information and messaging out rapidly, whether to public or politicians. Just did a panel on state of media to comms people at [major uk org] and they still have to post on X, hope people see it, then hide the racist replies.

Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. In the Israel-Iran war, if forced to pick a side, I’d back Israel. These two positions are not mutually exclusive. This will make people’s heads explode.

Seems like 1-0 to Israel in the first round, but all that really matters now is whether Israel can stop Iran’s nuclear programme before it reaches break-out.
