Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

The war in Iran is illegal under the UN Charter, under War Powers Act, and didn't even comply with National Security Act.

Not saying the NHS is perfect, but in the last three days a family member has has an MRI and endoscopy. We didn't need insurance and it didn't cost us a penny. Thankful to have socialised healthcare.

Ted Cruz "hates communists" because Cuban President Fulgencio Batista, who was *not* a communist, imprisoned and tortured Cruz's father for helping Fidel Castro, who *was* a communist and who freed Cruz's father from the non-communist prison. Proving, once again, that Cruz speaks absolute rubbish.

“Nine years on from #Brexit , 56% Brits want to see the UK return to the EU…61 per cent believe Brexit has been a failure. Of these…more than eight out of ten, blame Boris Johnson & the Conservative Party, while more than two-thirds blame Farage.” www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...

I feel rather sorry for the #RoyalFamily and other public figures. They have to be careful what they say privately in case #LipReaders have their eyes on them.

#TheArchers I’m surprised that Hilda didn’t protest throughout the funeral service. Cats often associate carrying baskets with visits to the vet.

US Veterans peacefully protesting Trump’s military birthday parade arrested at Capitol Hill. This is the moment a 80+ year old US veteran is taken away in handcuffs for practicing his 1st Amendment right. #3E #NoKings #NoKingsProtests (🎥 @gregjstoker.bsky.social )

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.

I know there are bigger things happening in the world. I know this is a pointless post, it can't do anything to help. But I so much hope that the fella is found. He's needed by this lass and her family. If you happen to be in that part of the world, keep an eye open!👍🫰 www.bbc.com/news/article...

Aw, really disappointed that Father Crispin did not die. Was hoping for a hilarious episode where Kate & Yakob tried to deal with the body in a laundry basket like Fawlty #TheArchers

Is the BBC giving too much airtime to Reform UK? With me in the studio to discuss this are Nigel Farage, Richard Tice, Lee Anderson and Sarah Pochin.
