Some U.S. media (such as the Washington Post here) trace U.S.-Iranian animosity back to the 1979 Islamic Revolution, conveniently forgetting that the CIA helped overthrow a democratically elected Iranian government in 1953, forcing Iranians to endure decades of the Shah’s brutal rule.

If you’re an American should watch the Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown ep on Iran. A deeply humanizing look at a country full of people just like you and me. I watched it after Anthony died and it moved in ways that are hard to relay. I also immediately ran out to try kabob koobideh and tahdig.

When you actually read this piece, the reason given is because the Greens wanted more funding for public transport and "hot air" about renewables. We do, yeah. We're playing catch-up after decades of no investment in public transport, clean energy and energy security and we have a long way to go.

"Dummy" is Portishead's debut album, blending dark, mysterious, bluesy sounds with hip hop beats. It feels both retro and ahead of its time, remaining captivating and innovative since 1994. An album that still impresses today! #cdfriday

It's 30° in London and I hate this heat and I hate everyone who likes it. But dear God the amount of washing I'm getting out. Four loads already, lads. Washed and dried. The last one *bone dry* after 20mins on the line. My ancestors crying joyful tears in heaven. This must be what heroin feels like.

They're saying they want to "liberate" the city from its elected leaders. They're arresting protesters on made-up charges. They're calling in the military. This crew was bound to become more violent as they became weaker, and that's what's happening.

In a statement, Frost notes an important detail to Alex Padilla, a sitting U.S. senator, being assaulted by federal agents today: “They did it in broad daylight. Imagine what they're doing behind closed doors to migrant men, women, and children. “This isn’t America. This is fascism.”
