The President of the USA is now openly threatening Iran with being the target of one of the greatest crimes in world history. Trump is saying he will destroy the basis of life for more than 90 million people.
He should be removed from office for this.

NBC’s Richard Engel: “The White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commanders… they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think it’s a joke and put out material like this.”

The bombing of Iranian children is an unforgivable crime America has blood on its hands.

The United States needs to get over the quaint WWII-era notion that it is a force for good in the world. It is not. Especially now.

Supernovas blast iron into interstellar space. In turn, iron on Earth was captured by the cells of living organisms, such as our blood cells that use it to transport oxygen. Iron, a vital ingredient of our blood, was minted in massive stars. www.esa.int/ESA_Multimed...

Oh yes, completely! The Survivors is still utterly unnerving and very close to the mark - so I really must rewatch this ... followed by an episode of Dick Turpin & Grange Hill to uplift the beat of course!

This is wonderful Clodagh - a lovely piece of work!

A Co Cork sampler: 'Isabella Pue worked this sampler at Mrs Lawlers School Youghall in the Tenth Year of her Age August Fourteenth 1815'

Easy! Ridley Scott to do a masterful version of Napole... oh wait. Damn.

Kelly: "You could pick a random group of people off the street tonight here in DC and they could probably do a better job than our government is doing right now. They don't have a goal, there's no strategic plan. And what this is likely to lead to is, again, a long war with a lot of dead Americans."

Too many to choose from 🙂 although I absolutely love Mount Stewart, Co.Down (which has very good copies of the Castlereagh Papers btw!)

Bodiam Castle in spring

Welcome to #MedievalMarch exploring some of our medieval places & collections, starting with perhaps the most iconic of castles, Bodiam.

We’re celebrating a significant anniversary - we have cared for the castle for 100 years, since it was bequeathed to @nationaltrust.org.uk in 1926.

#Bodiam100

I think this may be a worrying hobby case of reverse C18th 'scalecreep' 🤭 - also a great issue of @nationaltrust.org.uk magazine btw!

And my final 15mm Dutch house, again from that Genie Paul at @sabotag3d.bsky.social. I wanted this one to look whitewashed and it wouldn't look out of place somewhere in North America, as well as Holland. #wargaming

Absolutely. Wrong move, completely wrong message.

To anyone who thinks Trump can bring peace and equality to Iran – I’ve got a bridge to sell you. Going cheap | Marina Hyde If POTUS can really bomb peace, stability and women’s rights into the Middle East, I’ll take my hat off to him. Judging by his role in Gaza, I won’t hold my breath, says Guardian columnist Marina Hyde

Donald Trump says Keir Starmer has damaged the special relationship by not helping him more in the US-Israel war on Iran. But you have to remember that when you do help, Trump pretends you didn’t anyway, and also pisses on your war dead.
