Did you come across the story involving Hertsmere Tory councillors back in 2022? I somehow completely missed it. I don't think the national press covered it much. Can't help feeling it might have been different with another party www.hertfordshiremercury.co.uk/news/hertfor...

Herts Tory councillors lose appeal over antisemitic abuse against Labour rival

Hertsmere Borough Council leader told councillors he 'considers the case closed'

Hey, just so people know: it's not cool to reach out to writers who worked on something you watched to tell them things like "the next few episodes could use some refinement", or "I had a few issues with it", even if you're couching it in something positive.

It’s a surprising twist on the genre of ‘dickhead who doesn’t know when to give it a rest’ by being about two dickheads who don’t know when to give it a rest. De Niro acts Pacino off the screen

Finished the sanguine portrait. I think the likeness is ok, not amazing but as good as I could get it. Anyone care to identify the subject?

Friends, if you are over 40 and (voluntarily) watch short form video a fair amount a) what topics do you watch (also are they face to camera) b) when do you watch them c) this may be a stupid Q but: sound on or off by preference?

Drivers, you may not be aware, but your vehicles have flashing indicators you can use to alert pedestrians and other drivers about your intentions. Check 'em out next time you want to change directions.

Again, not a book but you might be able to find the squadron/group war diaries. I know the 86th FBG’s are online, and they’re very readable and surprisingly full of character

By short form do you mean like 20-45 mins or more like 3-5 mins?

I love the way in this film you have de Niro giving a masterfully understated performance with perfect control, and Pacino just chewing so much scenery it would keep Hollywood’s setbuilders in work for a decade

Huge rockfalls in the Tofane group (WW1 battlefield in the Dolomites, 1915-1917) last weekend. The Austrian position of Tre Dita is visible in the bottom left of the first photo. Exploring these mountains is becoming quite hazardous. #TiTM

Why would Russia bother with bioweapons when five guys hanging around outside a US base is enough to get them to retreat with their tails between their legs?

Having walked around Lord Ashcroft's vanity project many times, the only medal that has ever stayed with me is the George Cross (Albert Medal) award to Doreen Ashburnham-Ruffner. Doreen was a badass. Like Liam Nesson in The Grey levels of badass but a 11-year old girl fighting off a mountain lion.

"Hanning is said to have negligently approved dubious transactions as a supervisory board; this has enabled dubious investors to enrich themselves at the expense of the bank. The case now threatens..the fortunes of the longtime public servant...[and] his reputation as a champion of law and order"

A bit of light research this morning indicates that this guy is fash adjacent, was allegedly complicit in a violent kidnapping plot involving a Mossad agent, and was accused of sanctioning dodgy transactions at a Latvian bank that went bust owing tens of millions of Euro. Real upstanding citizen...

To be honest from what I've read of him this morning he seems bent as a nine bob note and was probably dishing out gen to whoever offered cash

Matthew Willis (Naval Air History) @navalairhistory.com · 06/10/2026

To be honest that doesn't really narrow things down much! I'd say he's more than curious though, he's been pontificating on the 'migrant crisis' for over a decade He also owes €3.5 million in damages after a Latvian bank he was on the board of went bust

Then again, Hanning was accused of complicity in Christina Block's alleged plot to abduct her children from her ex, which also involved a Mossad agent. Hanning was called as a witness but was able to avoid giving evidence
