Rachel Shabi rightly points out that by allowing the US to use RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire to bomb Iran, the UK has been dragged into their illegal war

This is an absolute disaster from a national security perspective. Obviously, a lot on F-35s is classified, but a weapons-bay door and a canopy with radar-absorbing material are some of the most sensitive. Hard to describe how bad this is.

I really do not understand a lot of what is written now. I just read a post saying something "fell by one and a half times". What does that mean? If it's fallen, it's fallen by a percentage or "a third" or similar. If it's "times", it has risen. 1.5 times means 50% INCREASE.

Another cracker from @michaeljecksauthor.bsky.social Characters that you really care about (- plus wrong 'uns who need their just deserts), in vividly described settings so you feel you are marching and fighting with them. The "now what?" felt by most of them at the end is particularly poignant.

The thing is, doing sports like Norway (focused on fun, companionship, team spirit) rather than the US (focused on intensity, suffering, competition, which individual is "best") isn't just healthier & more pro-social, it produces *better athletes*.
