A wonderfully bonkers day with @classicwingsuk.bsky.social at Duxford. My bucket list isn't that long but managed to shorten it yesterday. Would recommend to anyone, get up there into that big blue!

I started my PhD program with an eight week old at home, sole income being my doctoral stipend, in a history program, in Knoxville, TN. And every month we got a new book to read to my son, free, mailed to us, so my kid, my kids, grew up in rooms full of books even when I had no money. That's Dolly.

Ukraine strikes Russian ships near Crimea, escalating attacks on fuel supplies

The attacks appear to be the latest phase of Ukraine's bid to choke off supplies and routes into and out of occupied Crimea.

If the US war on Iran ends up with the Iranian regime still in power and Iran able to charge tolls in the Straits of Hormuz, it will be the quickest and most comprehensive defeat that the US has ever suffered—and alarms bells should start ringing loudly about the future of US power.

Interesting Hegesth's press conference and how he frames military power. "Iran has no functioning air force, air defence or Navy." Afghanistan didnt have these neither did Hamas. Be careful how you define military success. Air power can do so much #Iran #MiddleEast

History lesson. Our once great ally didn't come to our aid until 1917. Our once great ally didn't come to our aid again until 1941.

The United Kingdom, our once Great Ally, maybe the Greatest of them all, is
finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East.
That's OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we don't need them any longer -- But we will
remember. We don't need people that join Wars after we've already won!
