We are a country of light and (very) dark animal stories: Black Beauty (a harder read than many will recall); Wind in the Willows and Beatrix Potter; Watership Down and Plague Dogs (gulp); Tarka (by a fascist) and Animal Farm (by an anti-Fascist); Kes.

I think we can cope with animals on banknotes.

TimothΓ©e Chalamet is the movie industry's late-to-the-game entrant in a field that the music industry has dominated for so long:

Someone so casually obnoxious that his obnoxiousness is taken for never-before-seen talent.

Cor, sure would feel great right now if we were self-sufficient in renewable energy, and laughing at all the rubes reliant on global oil supplies. We'd have a bit of a swagger in our step today.

That wasn’t an American β€œAI drone” on Fox News. It was Ukrainian air defense.

A Fox segment about U.S. AI interceptors and Iranian Shaheds used footage of Ukraine’s STING interceptor (Wild Hornets) taking down Russian Shahed-type drones.

Credit matters.

Maybe it’s a bad idea to put people in charge of government who are eager for the rapture.

β€œWe cannot say that the United States’ actions are against international law, but we condemn Iran’s retaliatory actions as against international law,” is neither a coherent nor a compelling position.

The U.S. Released the Epstein Files. The Arrests Are Overseas.

This article should have made the basic point that other countries are governed by the rule of law. It’s not about β€œeagerness” to prosecute and it’s not a puzzle. It’s a marker of a deep US problem.

Electing Trump the first time could have been seen as an aberration, a quirk of US politics that would not be repeated. But electing him a second time sent a clear signal to the rest of the world that it is imperative to reduce military and economic dependence on the US because it is unstable.

April last year Iran signed a security treaty with Russia. This means one of two things was bound to happen

1. Russia would attack Iran
2. Russia would do nothing when some one else attacks Iran
