Historian here history first time as tragedy the second time as farce.
Fossil fuel stocks are exploding in response to the war on Iran.
Who stands to benefit? The richest of the rich.
Who stands to lose? All of us who have to pay higher prices for energy and a new round of sellers' inflation.

Ahead of #RareDiseaseDay tomorrow, we've taken to King's Cross Station to bring this message to life and shine a light on an often‑overlooked community.
For the second week running England look flat, lifeless and exhausted well before final whistle. Leads to decision making and skills falling under pressure. What on earth has their prep been like to make them this shattered for a match? #engvire
No!
Andrew is eighth in line to the throne, but that’s prison toilets for you!

The moral panic about young men is the new version of “UKIP is winning over former Labour voters” (also a Goodwin argument). Both rely on anecdote more than data, and do significant damage to public understanding of the radical right. Young men are the second *least* pro-Reform group in the UK.
Could we maybe also ask his royal protection officers a few questions as well? Presumably their job is to keep the royals safe from assassination, not to stand by passively whilst their protectees brazenly break the law?
There is profoundly disagreeing with govt policy (policy of two consecutive govts now), there is strongly airing those disagreements - then there is lobbying a foreign govt to pressure ours in changing foreign policy to further your political interests.
I'm not sure what else you can call that.
If you are in charge of a small team that makes administrative errors, why should we believe you are competent to run the much bigger team that is a government?
Man of the people update
the perennial "is this a good replacement for twitter / can it become as big as twitter" discussion is so confused. hominids became bipedal about 7 million years ago. for most of the time since we did not have microblogging. it's not a necessity it's a habit, if it all goes away that's fine
The US backed the Chagos Islands deal last year. The news today, if it can even be called news, is that deals with the current administration aren’t worth very much.
I'm perfectly aware this is by far not the worst thing he's done, but Trump's constant presence - day after day after day - in the lives and headspaces of hundreds of millions of people (billions?), in the US and outside, is so taxing. Every morning, we wake up and have to think about this asshole.

Great effort here. Display might be difficult though.
Modest proposal: any minister claiming the government “needs” to be on X should have to read out the top ten comments on their department’s most recent post.
Too bad, slopguy
I actually managed to get my kid’s secondary school to come off Twitter and move to Bluesky last year. If any educational establishment is still using it for comms, this should be the straw that breaks the camel’s back
I got a monos one earlier this year. The lifetime warranty is pretty good.
Same, earlier in the year, which is why I persisted with it. I thought it fine but struggled to buy into events tbh
Yes, a bit farcical at times imo
James Dyson has said he may not be able to pass his business down to his children because of Rachel Reeves's inheritance tax changes..See more elctap) Sir James Dyson: Rachel Reeves has put my family business at risk
Miniature musical instrument makers admit defeat as violin size requirement for story is declared "too small to build."
my favorite thing about the benoit blanc movies is that they aren't really about benoit blanc. he is not grappling with demons from his past. we are not getting flashbacks to the husband whose murder he never solved. he just shows up and does his job like mary poppins for homicides
Everyone imitates Tolkien all the time except when it comes to the one way it would really matter: making the protagonist of your novel for children a short, fat, 50-year-old man who doesn't want to do anything.
Everyone’s talking about whether Farage was racist to schoolchildren as a boy when he was racist to schoolchildren THIS WEEK. All the kids who are of reading age can read what he says about them.
