Matthew Petti @matthew_petti •1h X Retired Israeli general Uzi Dayan on what to do about Lebanon: "We need to act fast and with full force. Occupy the territory, expel everyone who is located there, destroy everything there, and turn it into a death zone — which means no one moves around there."

Posting this here not because it’s at all new or unusual - this type of stuff has been standard for a long time in Israel, and really it’s only intensified in recent years - but because I feel a lot of people on this site maybe don’t encounter this kind of thing.

One of the now famous images of British servicemen manning a naval gun at Shoremead whilst wearing full pantomime drag. It's usually claimed to be an image that was banned by the government or somesuch nonsense, but there's actually a rich vein of propaganda photographs of servicemen carrying on with normal, humorous life in the middle of a war. That the Nazis were understood to be dead against this sort of stuff only added to its value.

So whilst the self-reported big manly men are accidentally closing a narrow shipping channel by having a big manly war and shouting big manly war things, a reminder of that time a bunch of lads who were much secure in their gender did it deliberately.

If you don't want to revive the Dundee Banking Company then simply relocate the UK's central bank to Port Talbot, rename it the Bank of Wales, and stick dragons on EVERYTHING.

This is a reasonable and proportionate proposal and I will not hear a word against it.

Fuck no. Absolutely not. Cut disability benefits but give tax dodgers a get out of jail free card?

"These mines, they're so much smaller than those huge ships, I don't know why they're scared of them, so tiny, and why are they called mines? I didn't put them there, they should be called theirs, maybe then the ships wouldn't be so scared because they should be scared of my things but not Iran's."

That sound you just heard was Chris Morris giving up on satire.

We can all agree that I'd look fantastic on a £5 note

Black and white photo of a british ww2 minesweeper, who looks like she could pass as french with a bit of posh makeup and a nice dress.

As mines are in the news:

Meet HMS Manxman. Spent a chunk of 1941/1942 laying mines off Italy in WW2.

Why wasn't she sunk?

Looked like a Vichy destroyer if you squinted. So they did a "paint me like one of your French girls" on her.

Extra funnel. Fake bow.

"Bonny jour mez ameees eye-talians!"

Have a look at the NLS maps - this shows Terrace Street between Bothwell St and St Vincent St at Pitt St.

All archaeologists should make themselves aware of how Israel co-opts heritage as an instrument in its apartheid, ethnic cleansing & genocide against Palestinians. Not to do so is to choose wilful ignorance, silence, & complicity #boycottisrael #boycottisraeliarchaeology

I see the Dildo of Consequences has arrived, and - as is traditional - it has not been lubed.

It was actually much more of a laundrette...

The IDF went into a hospital.

Forced everyone out at gunpoint.

Then left newborn babies to starve and decompose in incubators.

Bombing a school is nothing to them.

Revealed: company behind vape shop fire had not paid business rates...or registered to sell vapes A Ferret investigation has found there was no registration to sell vapes at the Union Street premises in Glasgow where a major fire started - and we can reveal the name of the company behind the shop.

Michty me.

Mind: nine times out of ten when people complain about "red tape" throttling "small businesses", what they mean is that they don't think there should be consequences for transferring risk to other people if you can make money by doing so.

It's the 150th anniversary of the first telephone call, and who can forget Alexander Graham Bell's first, immortal words?

Tesco sandwich packet on a shelf. "Beechwood ham, egg and chips with seasoned fries" contents look like ham, grated cheese and suspicious sauces

Go home Tesco, you're drunk

It recently came to my attention that a friend who escaped an abuser wasn’t familiar with DARVO, an acronym for understanding how abusers operate. So we’re all going to have a little education tonight:

Many of them were still on scene this morning, such as this group, watched over by Kenny Hunter's 2001 Citizen Firefighter statue outside the nearby Central Hotel, which is a memorial to all firefighters past and present. Thank you to you all.

#glasgow #fire

Two firefighters resting, sitting on the plinth of the "Citizen Firefighter" statue.

Quite an image on the BBC live page (www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cd...; no photographer credited).

Sounds as if they've saved the station and the hotel, and more importantly, without loss of life.

Citizens; heroes.

An illegal war by USA & Israel, propped up by missions from UK air bases.

Supported by Nigel Farage.

Over 1000 civilians dead & now the threat of global economic fallout. Trump's disaster makes us all less safe, less secure - and we will remember those who backed it.

a lot of comments this morning about the rate at which old buildings in Glasgow go up in flames so I just want to say: as a bystander with no direct knowledge of this fire, but a good bit of knowledge about old buildings burning, i don’t think this one is sketchy.

I'd be less suspicious about this if cleansing the building with fire wasn't a traditional Glasgow folk ritual intended to bring fertility and planning permission in the new season

To no-one's surprise, the far-right billionaire's shills at the Torygraph want us to starve kids here so we can kill other ones elsewhere.

Happy "When's International Men's Day?" Day

If you attend the GP three or more times for the same issue, and your symptoms are not improving, or not all of them, or are getting worse, the GP should rethink, reconsider, and review your case. They should assess the original diagnosis, consider alternatives, ask for second opinions,
