“Tehran is burning. And smoke has filled the streets. It’s impossible to drive out of the city right now and even with the windows closed, heavy smoke is making its way inside."
Read every word.
It is absolutely insane that the US appears to have targeted desalination plants first – putting them onto the board. Iran seems to have already retaliated against one in Bahrain. This is one of the most obvious ways this could spiral.
Thought I was just very hungover but I just put my contact lenses in the wrong eyes
The asymmetry of the value placed on human life is so striking. Israel has a goal to recover 40-year-old remains; to do so, it invades a sovereign country, and the lives of 26 Lebanese are an afterthought. Their names not even worth printing in the New York Times.
Noted, I'll wear vest tops out more

The richest people vote Labour, the poorest Reform and then Green
Interesting, subtle difference between these attacks Mahmood put out today. Against Reform it's "unless we address these concerns, people will vote for them" but against the Greens it's just "their policies are bad". People who support Green policies are not a group that needs to be appeased.
A special military operation, if you will.
Apparently theres stuff buried in the data about Pokémon R&S so you'll be doing it again
Shame they didn't paint a school the IDF could have unloaded it's entire arsenal
Europa isn't really a game you finish so it might need to take a back seat
There's a lot of games here id like to finish
The Manc homo fascist to my surprise made the list
hopenothate.org.uk/state-of-hat... the annual state of hate is always worth a browse
Hope Not Hate research finds: '54% of Reform members thought non-white British citizens born abroad should be forcibly removed or encouraged to leave, while one in five (22%) also supported it for non-white citizens whose parents were born in the UK.'
Rank racism.

Three interesting things about that yougov poll. While they've polled higher than Lab before, this is the first time they have with yougov, and it's the first time they've polled over 20% with any polling company. Final interesting thing, the combined right vote is a record low
Wooo
one of my favourite tweets was someone answering the question, which person dead or alive would be your ideal dinner party guest, to which they replied 'Toby Young, dead'.
Woaaahhhhh! An early GOTY contender in a POKÉMON GAME?!
Strong against the weak, weak against the strong, etc
We're being asked to defend the tax havens of Dubai and the UAE, which effectively deprive the treasury of tax receipts, with British taxpayers money and possibly lives.
I think a key reason for labours constant shitting on their voter base is because they've never truly forgiven millennials, minorities and the left broadly for electing Corbyn in 2015 and sustaining him that entire time. They will tank the party to punish if needs be
I fucking hate Starmer so much, but also him applying his Midas Touch to this might result in some very funny things happening.
The regime going would be ideal. What's always been miserable is that there's no opposition in Iran that's ready to take over. There's the Pavlavi's but they're just backed by all the rich Iranian exiles.
Syria's population before the civil war was 26 million, Iran's now is 92.
It's in Israel's interests, and to a lesser extent the US, for Iran to fragment. The regime would be gone, but nothing would replace it. You could have 100,000s dying in months or years long unrest and millions fleeing.
