Family oral history has it that folk in Greenock were clearing their rooftops of incendiaries at night.
The bombing prompted the construction of a “Dummy Glasgow” North of the city.

Gotta wonder what MAGA-folk think is “betrayal”?
The accumulation of otherwise obvious consequences as “unintended consequences” demonstrates abysmal ignorance and folly.
NEW: The DOGE deposition videos a judge ordered removed from YouTube on Friday after they had gone massively viral have since been backed up across the internet, including as a torrent and to the Internet Archive
My parents would sometimes say to me: “If your friends jumped off a cliff would you do it too?”
Many Countries, especially those who are affected by Iran’s attempted closure of the Hormuz Strait, will be sending War Ships, in conjunction with the United States of America, to keep the Strait open and safe. We have already destroyed 100% of Iran’s Military capability, but it’s easy for them to send a drone or two, drop a mine, or deliver a close range missile somewhere along, or in, this Waterway, no matter how badly defeated they are. Hopefully China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and others, that are affected by this artificial constraint, will send Ships to the area so that the Hormuz Strait will no longer be a threat by a Nation that has been totally decapitated. In the meantime, the United States will be bombing the hell out of the shoreline, and continually shooting Iranian Boats and Ships out of the water. One way or the other, we will soon get the Hormuz Strait OPEN, SAFE, and FREE! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Days after declaring total victory and boasting that no other military could match the US, Trump is now begging other countries — including China — to send warships to stop his Iran war from spiraling into catastrophe.
A galactic humiliation.
The “Closing of the Commons” is a pervasive feature of inequality.
It’s hard to credit self-destruction.
Head of lettuce
I think Trump’s Cabinet are all looking like lettuce heads

Remember, Iran’s FM said “We are waiting for them.”

We elect politicians who don’t care if they have to poison us to get re-elected.

Canadians buy made-in-Canada goods to support their local businesses and local economies.
We’re doing the same, at scale, with the Buy Canadian Policy — by building housing, infrastructure, and defence projects with Canadian materials, Canadian technology, and Canadian workers.
Prime Minister Carney speaks with members of the Canadian Armed Forces in Trenton, Ontario.
We're rebuilding, rearming, and reinvesting in the Canadian Armed Forces.
From making sure they have the equipment they need, to giving service members the biggest pay raise in a generation — we’re reinforcing our capacity to protect our country, our allies, and our values.
Expect more Pensioners to sell their houses in the District of Oak Bay BC in the year ahead. The District Council is touting an increase to the coming year’s property tax of 13% and the Province of BC is significantly increasing the interest paid on property tax deferral for seniors.
Cash-out time.
First projection has us at a 13.0% hike. Now we’re really seeing the costs of years of deferred maintenance bang up against relatively static revenue. And let’s be clear, there are no big new amenities in this budget beyond, you know, the infrastructure we need to keep the District running.
How long has the Secretary of War got before he’s fired?

NO, Pam Bondi wasn't moved to luxury military housing for her safety! That story is a LIE!!
EGAN-JONES: “.. Israel and the U.S. have succeeded in antagonizing and further radicalizing a state they have no possibility of defeating.”
We elect politicians who don’t care if they have to poison us to get re-elected.
Home security systems are safety theater. They make us feel like we’re in control, but they don’t actually reduce the risk of violence.
If anything, they’re a part of a broader, predatory industry that exploits our fears and *increases* the risk of violence to keep us spending money.
Good interview with Canadian PM Mark Carney: “you find countries that share your values on specific issues, even if they don’t agree on everything. Then you build together. At the same time, you must recognise that you can’t be truly sovereign or independent just by yourself.

EVERCORE: “.. the Navy reportedly has been turning down requests for escorts thus far.
“.. If Iranian missiles remain operational, the geography of the Strait would significantly constrain U.S. Navy vessels’ reaction time to deploy countermeasures, making an escort operation extremely high risk.”
