Yemen’s Houthis have announced they’ll be joining the war in support of Iran shortly. Analysts expect them to shut down another strait, Bab El-Mandeb, which will close the Suez Canal. The global economy hangs by a thread.

As a professional military strategist, I just wanted to make sure everyone has a full understanding of the American strategy in Iran, thank you for your attention to this matter

Finished it yesterday & it was great fun. Plus, politicians!

Translation: I’ve started something & have no idea how to finish it so I’m hoping to implicate as many other countries as I can before the proverbial hits the fan

Royal Bank of Scotland notes have literary quotes on them, from Sorley MacLean, Norman MacCaig, Mark Alexander Boyd & Neil Munro. They’ve also had pictures of wildlife AND famous people on them since 2016, because somehow they managed to figure out that banknotes have two sides

In the chaos in Iran, you might have missed the news that Russia's operational momentum has slowed, even reversed, on the frontlines in Ukraine.

I'm starting to find the number of senior people associated with Brexit who have 'prior commitments' preventing them from speaking at an event slightly suspicious

Historian here history first time as tragedy the second time as farce.

Bigger. Problem. Than. Anticipated.

The first verified Shahed Drone attack on Ukraine was 1,270 days ago.

Ukrainian numbers put the number of Shahed strike UAVs launched at them last year alone at over 32,000.

I do not like this gen AI
I do not like what it implies
I do not want it in my art
I do not think it makes you smart
I do not want it in my games
I do not like its goals and aims
I do not want it in my books
I do not like the way it looks
I do not like it, I don't care
I do not want it anywhere

Book Group The last Thursday of every month was Book Group,
when the books would gather together to discuss Brian. “It’s no fun here any more,” remarked Bleak House, glumly.
“Why doesn’t he read us?” whined the Grapes of Wrath. “It makes me so angry!” 
“I’m sure he only bought me so he can show me off to his friends,”
complained Ulysses, in a stream of self-consciousness. “I bet he can’t even remember my name, The Idiot,”
muttered a voice from the Russian literature section.
“That’s because he avoids you like The Plague,” said another.
“C’est vrai!” came a cry. “It is like I do not exist.” “Let’s not give up on him yet.” It was Brave New World.
After some Persuasion, they agreed to give him one last chance.
“Be quiet!” cried Waiting for Godot with Great Expectations.
“Here he comes now!” Brian entered the room, with his phone.
He sat down and watched some videos of baby pandas falling over.
After an hour or so, he started googling cats dressed as celebrities. On the shelf, the books waited with uncracked spines,
their silence speaking volumes. Brian Bilston

In celebration of World Book Day, here’s a poem called ‘Book Group’.

Pentagon eyes Ukrainian interceptor drones to counter Iran Kyiv has pioneered cheap and mass-produced machines to battle Russian versions of the Shahed attack drone

giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/... Bit of a story here: the West has known for some time that Ukrainian interceptor drones are cheap, effective and the best way to deal with the sorts of things Iran has. If the US had been remotely serious it would have thought about this ahead of a war.

❗️Iraq's entire electricity grid has shut down across all provinces including airports, the Iraqi Electricity Ministry confirmed. The cause is under investigation, with Iranian cyber activity raised as a possible factor. #Iraq

Hats off to your willpower only watching one a night - I’d have been sooo tempted just to you know, watch another one……

Blimey! Where’s Hitchcock when you need him? 🐦‍⬛

This IPSO adjudication against the Telegraph is quite something

Confirms their story titled: ‘We earn £345k, but soaring private school fees mean we can’t go on five holidays’ was completely fabricated, with the family involved non-existent and stock pictures used

People expected to live forever in limbo, forever as outsiders, and they will still be asked: “Why won’t you just integrate?”

Brill! Looking forward to this 🚀

It’s excellent news - something a few of us have been banging on about for a while.

It’s also a rare example of the double u-turn (o-turn?). The Govt announced they were getting rid of the S&P in July 2024, reversed course in 2025, & now we’re back where we were again.

One day ago he was urging the Iranian people to take to the streets and risk their lives to overthrow the regime, promising them "overwhelming strength" in support.

People are just tools to be sacrificed for his benefit.
