Everyone is talking about the price of fuel rather than Epstein.

The article specifically calls out cocaine and amphetamines and the illustration is marijuana?

We aren’t stupid

It was always a very likely outcome. Only hubris could believe it wasn’t.

I see criticism by Donald Trump is again proving itself to be a leader’s greatest selling point.

Lufthansa adds more flights to Asia and Africa Lufthansa said today it was shifting capacity from 10 cancelled Middle Eastern destinations to routes such as Singapore and Bangkok as it contends with disruption from the US-Israeli war on Iran.

It’s more his legacy.

I actually think domestically in the UK he was probably their best PM of the last 60 years (admittedly not a very high bar) but he tanked his reputation in Iraq.

I doubt the Gulf States will return to genuine normality for several years. This should present opportunities for East African countries to insert themselves as key hubs in Europe-Australia aviation. Given Africa needs the boost more than the Gulf States anyway I hope it is being worked on.

You’d think that the current generation of leaders would remember Tony Blair and reflect on how history regards blind and servile obedience.

And quietly grok has turned nudification back on

Erdogan would just love that. I’m not sure the US administration ever thinks things through.

And I want to score the winning goal ima World Cup final.

The fact that ChatGPT is way way worse than Claude also comes into it.

They risk becoming the Netscape Navigator of AI.

Thank God. It’s about time young people remembered to have fun.

Unofficially when not at war a North Korean sub sank a South Korean vessel in 2010.

Both sides deny it as acknowledging it would have started a war.

Twice officially since WWII although Hegseth said it was the first time. I guess non-American actions don’t count.

1) Most well known the General Beltgrano was in the Falklands War (this is one of me earliest news memories)

2) A Pakistani sub sank an Indian frigate during one of their many wars.

At least in the Iraq war the lies about the reason for starting it were consistent.

Flights are still going eastward. The unspoken of issue in this war is that it’s been a very bad week to be a Georgian air traffic controller.

Let’s face it. He boosted the popularity of the Canadian and Danish PMs by attacking them. It might be the best thing to happen to Starmer in his premiership.

The Charles de Gaulle is so important to France they only send it to places it won’t see action.

I hope they are paying a commercial fare. Those who left to avoid Irish taxes being bailed out by those who stayed and did would not be right.

Isn’t one of the challenges that in current UK polling nobody knows who the two favourites in their seat are to be able to cast a tactical vote?

The temperature in the house has been rising over the course of the day without having any heating on.

It feels like a major corner turned.

In all honesty it’s why I switched from ChatGPT to Claude and Mistral. Claude is significantly better than GPT, although I’m more comfortable sharing data with Mistral.

The first thing should be not to waste money on a review. We could have built several km of tramlines for what we’ve spent on reviews in the last decade.

That might cement a successor regime in Tehran. Although it’s becoming pretty clear that regime change for the benefit of the Iranian people was pretty low on the priorities for the air strikes.

Well they claim targeted strikes so it must have been deliberate.

Iraq is the optimistic outcome. Libya the most likely 🥲

“So they not have windows in Tehran?”
