Dogs aid in Dublin put up a photo of these two strays, and for some reason everyone is convinced the guy on the left is the brains of the operation.

Politicians need to start explaining this to voters otherwise they will get the blame for the rising cost of living. This is America and Trumpβs doing.
The question was raised how bad a task would it be to clear the Strait of Hormuz if it was mined. The answer is "pretty bad".
Here you might ask yourself "What do you do if you have too few mine countermeasure platforms?", or alternatively you might ask yourself "What did Christopher Craig do during the Falkland's War?"
I'm glad to say the answer to both questions is found in Sandy Woodward's classic "One Hundred Days".
They should put a monkey on the Β£50 note and a pony on the Β£10 note to confuse the hell out cockneys.

It's difficult to end a war if you don't know why you started it in the first place.
A lot of people on Bluesky sneering at this. But Russia has no interest in helping Iran, apart from the fact they're a key regional ally, they sell them Shahed drones, and that a prolonged war and with it rising energy costs help the Russian economy.
Honestly I'm only surprised it's taken this long.
They don't even have to deploy that many - the shipping lane is narrow and even the threat of mines is enough to stop any sensible commercial ship captain from risking it.

Father al-Rahi was the Maronite Catholic parish priest of Qlayaa in Marjayoun.
When an Israeli Merkava tank hit a house there, wounding the owner and his wife, Father al-Rahi and others rushed to the scene to help. The tank then fired a second time, killing him.
βWe are forced to stay despite the danger, when we defend our land, and we do so peacefully. None of us carries weapons. All of us carry peace and goodness and love.β
These were the words of Father Pierre al-Rahi one day before Israel killed him in Lebanon today on March 9.
oooh are we doing "freaking out about getting old" on Bluesky again? I like these ones!
yeah so at the next GE, assuming Labour changes the voting age, you'll have voters who were born after the 2012 Olympics and who are younger than Prince George
ok yes that lrb piece is as good as everyone is saying
OFCOM all over this like a sloth on diazepam wielding a feather duster
Explain to me like I'm five why OfCom wouldn't just begin with "words have meaning" before ripping this content from GB News to shreds?
Why the heck respected news outlets are still spending their time trying to put a rational interpretation on a speech by a guy who literally doesn't know what he's thinking or saying from minute to minute, goodness only knows.
Q: You said the war is 'very complete.' But your defense secretary says 'this is just the beginning.' So which is it?
TRUMP: You could say both
Trump did not announce a U.S. policy then walk it back. That is not what happened, and media presenting it that way does a disservice.
Trump said words he thought might appeal to his audience in the moment, with no connection to actual policy, then did that again with a different question/asker.

When I contacted Victoria Hervey to confirm that she had called Virginia Giuffre a βwhoreβ, she doubled down on the comment. βItβs what anyone with a brain knows,β she told me by email. βI think I did call her a druggie hooker. Not sure the exact wording.β She then recommended a couple of online commentators I might read, including Jay Beecher, a former Ukip activist who was alleged last year by the Observer to have been paid Β£80,000 by someone working for Ghislaine Maxwellβs family to βinvestigateβ Giuffre. Lady Victoria, sister of the 8th Marquess of Bristol, is said by Vanity Fair to be a supporter of Reform UK. She admires Donald Trump and collects MAGA hats, telling the magazine that itβs time, this spring, to get one that says βMake England Great Againβ.
emails, rather than calls.

Thereβs this weird idea that the Iran conflict will be over in a months time and I donβt know why itβs persisting because its a fucking crackers idea that would be the case.
Iβm Not a military analyst, more of a sofa historian & working knowledge of the Gulf region culturally.
However:
Trump's decision to bomb Iran is now the greatest windfall to the Russian war effort on record. If it continues, it might save the Russian war economy.
I think this is about the temperature but honestly it works for decades as well
New video footage shows a US Tomahawk missile hitting an IRGC facility in Minab, Iran, on Feb 28, showing for the first time that the US struck the area. The footage also shows smoke already rising from the vicinity of the girlsβ school, where 175 people were reportedly killed, including children.

There were many flaws with the old US as a global hedgemon, but at least there was a lip service, and a broad commitment, to international norms and law. A attempt to enforce it, if flawed.
The US losing that commitment, and celebrating atrocity, is a very bad development
