If I was based at Thames Valley Police's Sulhamstead training base I would be worried about some satellite-driven AI picking the wrong White House. www.smithconsult.co.uk/projects/edu...

If the entire incident is taking place in the seat behind you, can the situation really be described as "all kicking off"? "Fracas in a train seat" is only one rung above "storm in a teacup".

Iran's supreme leader was an awful man at the head of a brutal totalitarian regime that routinely murders its own people, but he wasn't mentioned once in the Epstein Files. #EpicFury #Epstein

Hey, @vcdgf555.bsky.social , is the target list in Iran consistent with Russia asking Trump not to interfere with the production of Shahed drones both locally and Russia?

There's a follow up to Operation Epic Fury, but on a much smaller scale. It's called Operation Eric Fury and involves the mysterious disappearance of one of Trump's disappointments.

Is it true that the current action in Iran was originally called "Operation Epstein Files" but they didn't realise that would be a problem until after the all-important merch has been ordered so they had to find a new name with the same initials? #EpicFury

I am on a health kick this morning, so breakfast has been limited to a brekky burger from a cafe and a ham & cheese crepe from a food truck, washed down by a long black (coffee) and two pints of IPA. I feel ready for the day now - time to think about lunch.

I have to conclude you wasted an opportunity there. For some reason the cello is the sexiest of all the musical instruments.

Find a way to feature them in your next book, suffering some hideous end. As they dissolve / get eaten / fall into a pit of eternal agony, their last words can be, "This seems rather derivative..."

Commenter: “Your book looks like a ripoff of so-and-so.” Me: “It’s not. In fact mine was published first.” Commenter: “*snicker* if you say so.” I swear, I will never understand the mindset of people who, when easily proven wrong, choose to double down on their bs.
