Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces, officials say The targeting information has included the locations of American warships and aircraft in the Middle East, the officials said.

This is interesting. But it is more interesting that Trump is rewarding Moscow for doing this by helping Russia sell oil, repeating Russian propaganda points, and senselessly burning through weapon stocks.

Side note, but it is still striking how little Reform actually look like the rest of Britain in basically any polling and yet their base is treated as quintessentially authentic.

The Home Office, seeing a handful of Afghan students asking to be given asylum, on account of the feudal theocracy that now rules their homeland and the literal war that has broken out, and thinking 'This is an existential threat to Britain'.

I wonder what might have happened in these countries over the last few years to make international students qualify for refugee status? It's a mystery...

I mean, put aside the clanker hate for a second and look at the scorecard of sins objectively.

Hegseth:
-believes GWOT was lost due to ROE protecting civilians
-got Gallagher pardoned for killing children
-white supremacist crusader tattoo

The robot:
-made some slop on the internet
-bit creepy

Close to sunset, Treebeard bids the hobbits farewell, adding them to the Long List: β€˜Hungry as hunters, the Hobbit children, the laughing-folk, the little peopleβ€”they shall remain friends as long as leaves are renewed.’

They ride away south with Gandalf, ThΓ©oden, and the rest.

While it is easy to joke about the British political media's talent for making everything about Labour, I am in awe at the ability of a select few in the Labour Party to make everything about Ed Miliband...

Three or four of these despicable group chats have become public, but here's the thing: It's absolutely certain that there are HUNDREDS of group chats just like them that we'll never learn about. There's an entire generation of groyper Republicans, and in a few years they'll be running the party.

I don’t think that β€œaccidentally” getting a Nazi tattoo means you have to be exiled from the whole of society, I do think it means you don’t get to be one of the hundred most powerful people in America. Sorry. I know that seems unfair. That’s just the way it works.

It's too bad i'm not important enough for Isaac Chotiner to interview because i'm pretty confident I'd be the first person to come out of it looking pretty good

β€˜British expats, he claimed, were refusing to fill out evacuation forms provided by the British government β€œjust in case it somehow turns into a tax form instead”.’
