What's happened to crude oil flows from the Middle East since the US war on Iran began? 🛢️ Has Iran effectively choked off the Strait of Hormuz? Or is the Strait now basically open as the US claims? & what's happened to other exit routes? Here's a helpful way of visualising it...📊 👇1/8

Went to see U2 at their Dublin "secret" gig....and only heard the drunk guy beside me the whole time... belting out all the songs at the top of his voice. Only time he was quiet was when they performed Silencio... coz he didn't know the lyrics 😂

Lukashenko says Belarus doesn’t have enough potash for Trump

Iceland votes 53-47 to reject re-starting negotiations to join EU. Result driven by desire to maintain control over fishing, which makes up 40% of Iceland’s exports. Reflected in geographic results. Capital Reykjavik voted around 55-45 in favour, while rest of country clearly voted against.

In a couple of hundred years there will be an Old Folk tradition where people celebrate the start of the Harvest Season by dressing up as ‘Knocking Burke’ a figure dressed in black who stands outside the village walls trying to get in to steal away the children before he gets shooed away.

"Big tech has a lot of work to do to convince us that they are not just pervert glasses" Maybe, but the problem is, whatever else they are, they will always *also* be pervert glasses (The video is worth a watch for @katie0martin.ft.com's thoughtful review) www.ft.com/content/3f25...

I suspect that European voters today also want their leaders to stand up to Trump and would reward them for doing so.

The Daniel Kinahan story is typical Ireland. All this fuss over the Gangland criminal that's returned from abroad after years while the Gangland criminals that stayed in Ireland go overlooked. It's just like when my cousin came back from Australia.

the non-pervert use cases for pervert glasses are just so *lame*. These things will literally never happen with pervert glasses, which are aimed pretty squarely, as we know, at perverts. www.meta.com/en-gb/blog/m...
