So Iran now has, perhaps for the first time, information about the location of our most sensitive covert sites in the region.

A completely foreseeable, unnecessary consequence of unnecessary war with Iran.

Great piece about them in this month's Record Collector mag, too, with Difford saying things got worse after he released his autobiography. I lent my copy to someone who never got it back, so I can't look up what caused the rift. Any ideas, fellow Squeeze fans?

Squeeze: β€˜Our friendship ended before we even started making records’ Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook on why they’re releasing Trixies, a concept album about a nightclub that they wrote when they were teenagers, 54 years ago

I'm fascinated with Difford and Tilbrook's relationship. How can you produce some of the most incredible music when you don't seem to like each other very much?

Apparently Trump is also now clairvoyant. His feelings Trump intelligence.

Trump administration officials acknowledged in closed-door briefings with congressional staff on Sunday there was no intelligence suggesting Iran planned to attack U.S. forces first, two people familiar with the matter said.

Brother of U.S. citizen girl with rare brain tumor sent to Mexico with deported parents attends SOTU NBC News has followed the 18-year-old and his family’s yearlong struggle to return to the U.S. so his younger sister can restart her treatment.

The 18-year-old, who's a U.S. citizen, has been living alone in his family home since Feb. 4, 2025. That's when immigration authorities removed his five siblings from the United States β€” four of whom are U.S. citizens, including his 11-year-old sister β€” (cont.)

A 21-year-old Moroccan woman was beaten by her family when they found out she was a lesbian. She sought asylum in the US & Trump tried to deport her to Cameroon, where homosexuality is illegal.

Sometimes we get distracted by how incompetent our country has gotten, we forget how evil it has gotten.

Also, 'She is understood to be already scouting around for a new PR team to represent her as she plans her return to the UK.' The fucking arrogance that anyone would touch her with a shitty stick under any circumstances is insane.

The piece implies some Middle Eastern twats. Imagine having to pay for love and attention? I wish someone would pay for her to have a chauffeur-driven ride through a tunnel in Paris.

13 grand a DAY, but hey, at least 'She always feels at home at Paracelsus, and knows she’ll get love and attention there, as well as expert health treatment when she’s feeling at her most vulnerable.’

Isn't that NICE?
