Israeli map showing a red zone where they will bomb
The IDF has issued an evacuation order in *central Beirut* in Bachoura near the Saint Joseph University. These are all heavily populated areas. There’s a school near the red zone. This is where Israel is going to bomb.
As a Forest fan this feels nailed on. They'd even have time to hire and fire Dyche and then re-appoint Ange and it would still work

we dare you to find a museum more ready
Dear everyone,
As per the post from the Bodleian librarian below, AI bots and scrapers are putting just about every website under great pressure, British History Online included.
A lot of excellent tech staff are working hard to keep everything working, but outages and siruptions are inevitable.
It seems almost comic to say it at this point but: where is Ofcom? Where is DCMS? Once upon a time this would have been absolutely beyond the pale. How is it now permitted?
I think that's true of older Labour voters. Not so sure about younger ones. There are basically three options: a) Lab regains most progressives B) they coalesce around Greens instead c) They split and the Right wins. C) probably most likely for now but B) is a possibility.
Well and the reaction from parts of the American right too. The Taco option here is much more complicated than normal because of the Israeli dimension
It sounds like he's saying if Putin wasn't such a pussy he'd be nuking Ukraine. Which I'm not sure I find encouraging tbh
Well, it would need the progressive vote to desert Labour en masse. I doubt it will happen but if it does it will be because of a deeply unpopular lab govt matched against a deeply unpalatable right alternative
Polanski PM 2029 underpriced?
There is a religious dimension to the way that some MAGA fanatics are framing the US-Israeli war against Iran that bodes ill for Europe, raising the risk that it inflames the Trump administration’s “civilisational” war against the continent. My latest on the Ayatollah of the West
A bit oddly, he was also a huge Florence Nightingale stan. Did lot of his own research on her
want to follow the news but can't bear thinking about ordinary Iranians, who've been stuck under such an oppressive regime for so long, who maybe got a flicker of hope, briefly, a few months ago, then watched in horror as their friends and relatives got killed by the state, and now this, unspeakable
Not that much to be fair! (And also tbf I was telling my Spurs mate in the autumn to not worry, Frank would come good. He practically forced me to watch their next match, at which point I saw what he meant.) But still! The players are quite good!
It's not going to take that many. Three wins and maybe a draw or two will be enough. I'm a Forest fan, have you seen our run-in?
I'm out of words here
Good question for r/askhistorians
They'll cheer on the war then complain about the refugees it'll create.
Meanwhile, Spain's massive investment in renewables is paying dividends now: with prices for Spanish industry and consumers low and stable compared with other European economies.

move slow and repair things
Pretty sure it was intentional!
so the world's energy mix looks like this. around 20%-25% of the world's oil (7%pt of total energy) and a third of the world's gas (another 7%pt) goes thru hormuz.
right now that's been zero'd out, and there's no clear path back. a sixth of the world's energy supply is just... gone.
Yes but what's really irritating about Starmer is he CAN think strategically, but somehow only about foreign policy
The combination of stupid and patronising is really something to behold.
Did you see Uta Frith's piece the other day? Seemed to make the same argument but minus the offensive language
It's really unfair to compare this to Iraq in 2003, at least then they had the decency to put some effort into their lies and deception.
To be fair, it worked for Mike Ashley
