Often speechless, mainly horrified. Moving from there to here. No DMs please, I can't read them anyway cos I won't go through verification, guess that's middle age grumpiness so should automatically count as proof of age.

And remembering my A level History, from a long time ago, Hitler increased manufacturing, like armaments (ref this week's WH meeting), and used Mefo notes, although I guess the have crypto now.
Gas prices by next week...

Ooh look who’s front and centre, it’s “man of the people” Nigel Mirage.
Not often seen in his constituency but topping the charts of additional earnings.

Yet @greenparty.org.uk are still coming second in some polls 💚
Lifting the oil sanctions as prices are riding high, when Russia provided intelligence to assist Iran in causing the gridlock of fuel movement, is the employee of the week moment for Trump.
Start a war, raise prices, let your boss profit. Oh and use up Patriot missiles so Ukraine can't have them.
I'd love the world to turn around and collectively say 'enough' (tariffs, wars, treatment of US citizens, interfering in other countries political processes, belittling Ukraine, blowing up small boats) but the divide and rule is working well, I don't know who can start the revolution against the US.
So Russia provides intelligence for Iran to coordinate strikes, which limits oil movements, then Russian sanctions are lifted as oil prices increase.
Trump gets a gold star from his boss this month.
I have found my spirit animal.
She'll argue she still needs a plane to visit all the Americas with her new male assistant, who had excellent references from his previous boss strangely also called Noem.
The tangerine tyrant should've made her responsible for one small island somewhere with no runway.
💪💔Ukrainian defender after russian captivity:
“There was food, but it was very limited. I lost 25 kg in captivity. But that’s alright. Ukraine will help me gain it back - Everything will be fine.”
Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran.
No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles.
Worth a watch.

As he appears to making himself Commander in Chief of Everything is he going to tell them what to do now as well?
No blankies left behind
Shield of Americas, new costume time for the publicity films, dunno why but I keep thinking of Batfink.
Sorry boss, I can't work, I'm watching Kristi Noem do a press conference and she doesn't know she's been shitcanned
According to Ukraine's President Zelenskyy more than 800 PAC-3 Patriot missiles have been used in the latest Iran war, more PAC-3 missiles Ukraine ever possessed, altogether.
$4 billions in 5 days for shooting down flying mopeds. Well done.
FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?
I'm not sure Trump is going to say 'thank you' enough to deserve any help.... that's the rule in time of war isn't it???
Chris, an Irishman, comes to the Russian Embassy in Dublin every day to perform the Ukrainian National Anthem.
Yes they maybe 'bigger', and it's hard in the world we live in that bases so much on physical appearance, but with those legs she achieves things, takes part in a sport she enjoys and through this builds friendships. At my age I would love to have her strong, athletic legs.
And that's the advert for getting your vaccines when they're due.
The US is now wasting $4 million Patriot missiles on $20,000 Iranian drones.
"Stupid is as stupid does."
If the US had a professional president, he would ask Ukraine for technical assistance with cheap drone interceptors, but the US has Trump who instead insults Zelensky.
I've learnt not only more about the amazing Ukrainians but also your art, traditions and buildings. If beauty and good human nature could win this war it would've been over before it started.
Think I managed "oh good" before I saw your comment.
Well, we did it because of the protesters
Nukes
I mean they’re building an ICBM
We did it defensively because Iran was going to attack us
I mean Israel was gonna do it anyway so we did it too
They were gonna attack us because Israel was gonna attack them so we attacked them
Can all these countries now properly acknowledge what Ukraine has been living with for years. The 'it's not on my doorstep'* vibe can change for all of us.
*See also Gaza, Sudan, Congo, Syria....
Kyiv.
Late evening.
Air defence is shooting down drones.
I say it like,
“The weather is fine outside, just cloudy.”
That’s what four years have done to us.
Protect peace.
Don’t let war become normal.
Anyone have a spare laptop they don't need ? The power port on my laptop has stopped working so I could really use another laptop as I will lose access to the world in the next 10 hours.
Does this mean Zelenskyy gets to shout at Trump for not saying thank you for help provided?
I'm sorry that Ukraine is not supported adequately, and recognition of the innovation and skill at adjusting to modern warfare is only brought to the fore when others need your skills.
