But lets not forget that πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ military leaders are also telling their troops (according to leaks from them) that they are supposed to bring on Armageddon.

So that mad and bad leadership is not JUST Trump or in the Administration.

The whole "AI" industry is just based on the hope that they can deskill people fast enough that they'll have to rent back cognitive support systems. Forever.

It's like Uber. Just that they don't try to break existing transportation infrastructures but your brain.

It is extremely difficult to construct a practical case against this position. Net Zero is now as much about patriotism as it is about climate change.

Never has a nation been as dominant on the battlefield as the USA.
But this war is yet more evidence that tactical mastery has stopped them thinking about strategy.

Could this be a solution?

WIN: High Court throws out Β£8m lawsuit over tax avoidance investigation | Good Law Project We have successfully defended award-winning journalist Dan Neidle from an β€˜oppressive’ claim which tried to silence him – but the law still needs reform

Yesterday we secured the first ever strike-out under new SLAPP legislation.

We’re looking forward to more journalists being able to speak out without bad actors dragging them through the courts:

The gender crits just care about women's rights. That's why they spent their money and their Wednesday evening turning up to a trans solidarity concert, and then posted about it. Very normal!

My rough timeline:
If the Strait reopens in the coming week, we have weeks of energy market disruption ahead but things have settled by the Autumn.
If the Strait is closed for another 3/4 weeks we have months of disruption.
If the Strait is closed for longer things get very bad, very quickly.

Reaching net zero by 2050 is often framed as a cost burden.

The UK Climate Change Committee’s latest analysis suggests the opposite.

The real risk is fossil fuel dependency.

There's a bunch of Chevening Scholars in my Masters classes and they massively enrich it. Impressive people and also so obviously wedded to going back and improving their own countries.

Badenoch denies calling for UK to join US-Israeli war on Iran Conservative leader accused of taking confusing position after she said Starmer should β€˜do more than catch arrows’

At the most basic level of 'have some self-respect', Conservative MPs should not put forward someone who visibly is not intellectually equipped to be prime minister as their candidate to be prime minister.

- More refugees
- More terrorism
- Increases in the cost of living

Supporting the Iran war means supporting all the above, says James O'Brien.

With every passing day, the decision of Starmer and his cabinet a) not to join the Iranian war b) to delay access to bases looks wiser and wiser. Trump’s press conference last night shows he has no real idea what the objectives are and its duration is arbitrary.

Baby-brain nonsense to pretend this a matter of personal courage from the captains and crew, and not the straight-forward economics of prohibitively astronomical insurance costs.

Also, easy to be vicariously brave about sailing a giant floating bomb under Shaheds when you're safe in a Fox studio.
