They didn’t give their own citizens enough time to get out of the Middle East and have no plan to get them home, but he gives his sons time and information so they can profit.

This is a new low, even for them.

Don’t let the war silence discussion of the Epstein files.

As a side note - I did say it’s playing second fiddle to the Iran war. If the war weren’t a thing, this would be the top story.

This is why wars get started. People die because a politician needed power they couldn’t get legitimately or a distraction.

Days of disruption expected as Glasgow Central closed after fire near station β€” BBC News The fire began in a vape shop on Union Street on Sunday afternoon before the building collapsed hours later.

Days of disruption expected as Glasgow Central closed after fire near station - BBC News

This has dominated the news all day - second to Iran. It all looks pretty bad and could be a while before the extent of damage is known, longer before it’s fixed.

Thought I would have gotten used to it by now, but I’m still grappling with the realization of just how stupid the men running this country are.

Screenshot of an X post by journalist John Harwood responding β€œmy god he is sick” to a post by Adam Schwarz quoting Pete Hegseth. The quoted post says Hegseth, when asked about Russia helping Iran target Americans, replied that they are not concerned and that the only people who should worry are Iranians who think they are going to live. Below is a video still from a β€œ60 Minutes” interview showing Hegseth speaking.

This is one of those silly middle-of-the-night thoughts, but in so many episodes of Star Trek, they share the Federation’s cultural database with aliens. It’s just occurred to me - does that mean they share everything on Netflix everywhere they go?

'Hoppers' Pops With $46 Million At The Box Office As 'The Bride' Is Ready For A Divorce Hoppers gave Pixar and Disney a massive win with $46 million at the U.S. box office, while The Bride inevitably scared up just $7.2 million

Hoppers dominated at the box office with the biggest opening for an original animated movie since Coco in 2017, with $46 million. Maggie Gyllenhaal's The Bride bombed with just $7.2 million. And did Scream 7 have a 72% drop? You bet it did

Opinion | The first lesson of war is β€˜know your enemy’ – and Britain’s enemy now is Donald Trump β€” The Guardian As the Iran disaster escalates, the US president should be seen as an enemy whose actions threaten the lawful, democratic way of life everywhere, says Guardian foreign affairs commentator Simon Tisdal...

I’m sure it’s no surprise to any of you that the war is immediately an unpopular one. Many wars divide opinion - but few have united so many against it. Donald Trump proves he is a threat to world peace.

I saw a (gold-ish coloured) car on the motorway earlier that had the number plate RB13 ENA, and I've never wanted a car to be purple so badly in all my life.

This starts out as one of those fascinating mini-documentaries on YouTube, but, near the end, draws frightening parallels with current economic situations.

George W Bush must be astonished. He spent all that time lying to the public about WMDs that didn’t exist, and all he had to do was start shooting and they would go along with it.

After both the House and Senate both rejected measures to curb Trump’s war in Iran, the only possible response is:

Dear Congress

What do we even pay you for?

This is clearly a frequent problem, making even the simple matter of staying in a hotel room a dangerous situation for women. And, of course, it is unsettling to think so many men consider rape worth doing, no doubt due to the low conviction rates.

The refund is a particular kick in the teeth, as it sounds insensitive. But, since I tried going to the BBC news app to find the specific story, expecting it to be the top story. What horrifies me is just how many β€œrape in hotel room” stories come up.
