I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
When Brexit was slammed for being an act of pure prejudice, all the Brexiters howled about ‘sovereignty’ and ‘taking back control’.
Now, the very same people howl that we should just obey Trump and put our country in the firing line.
They lied about everything. All of it. Every single part.
It's extremely clear that the US doesn't really have an objective here except to inflict maximum pain, and attacking water supply is going to end catastrophically for the entire region. It's not just a war crime, it's approaching a crime against humanity.
It’s about time someone said it out loud on a national news show.
Major Gen. Paul Eaton (ret.) — on Trump’s interest in putting boots on the ground:
“We have a situation where someone called a malignant narcissist is unfortunately drifting into a state of dementia that is difficult to manage.”
That shirt’s way too small.
Oh dear
Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

I see the ‘patriotic’ parts of the press are delighting in a US President having a go at the PM.
Just naked racism from Farage and the Mail.
Only British and commonwealth citizens are allowed to vote. It's not 'stealing' to legally take part in your own country's elections
Matt Goodwin?
Reform goes down the Trump route of trying to delegitimise the election just because they lost. Pathetic.
They warn that it’s going to destroy society, and then lecture us for refusing to “engage” when we don’t rush to integrate it into every aspect of our lives
Not sure if Man United owner Jim Ratcliffe will see this being as he literally migrated to Monaco to avoid paying tax in the UK, but we wanted to put this up outside the stadium anyway….

Fantastic
More invested in haircut lad than is good for me
No one wants to see a goal like that seal a game 🤣
for better or worse, people will forget about that video by the end of the year, if not end of the month. but when trump finally kicks the bucket, there were be orgasmic celebrations across the US & around the world. he will be remembered as the most despised US president since WWII for generations
She was asking a question about whether the Epstein survivors have received justice. But Vance wants her to “smile and have some fun” while asking the president a question about trafficking victims. bsky.app/profile/fact...
so crazy to me that a woman asked trump if he has any words for epstein's victims and he said "you as a young woman should smile more." it will go nowhere bc republicans refuse to hold trump accountable, but it's still pretty crazy.
Full Bad Bunny speech
It's sometimes hard to convey just how nuts it is that in this pathetic gilded age, the most 'successful' human on the planet is also, right out there in public, one of its most ridiculous losers
Waiting for the Out, on the iplayer, is so good on the prison of the mind and childhood trauma. Incredible lead performance. Loved it
You know you get the choice to read a review before you see a film, not on social media it seems

Imagine drumming on Double Barrel when you're 18, then going on to play on Police And Thieves, Pull Up To The Bumper, and a million crucial recordings. And, of course, Boops (a track I often get obsessed with). Like the LP title, Sly Dunbar was a Rhythm Killer. R.I.P. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVIs...

Frosty there, the idiot’s idiot
Hey, your daughter was murdered by my guys, but will you still love me? I'm needy.
