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:

Nervously twitching. I can't believe she's real, but I have to accept that she is.

I'm shocked that the Iranians didn't agree to let Donny choose their next Supreme Leader. Shocked, I tell you.

"I said it's quite bold of Nigel Farage to go to the US to side with Donald Trump against his own country. What did I say Roy?"
"You said he's a treacherous self-serving sack of shit"

Fantastic. My former housemate played with them for a few years in the mid to late 90's and toured Japan etc. Great band.

And still, so-called patriots queue up to condemn their own Prime Minister for refusing to join in with all this…

As @andrewperez.bsky.social and I report here, including by quoting an email from the trump White House we got more than a year ago, the supposed last straw for Noem was also (lol) based on obvious lies.

Trump signed off. Noem has been telling this story for more than a year, publicly…

Could they not have done that before thousands of brave anti government protesters stood up and were slaughtered?

Or is that too obvious as I'm not a regime change expert by profession.

Alba CRT television showing Tempest 2000 on the Atari Jaguar.

I was gifted this gorgeous 14" portable crt TV a couple of weeks back but it didn't have a remote so couldn't be tuned in. New one arrived today and boof. Shown here Tempest 2000 on my Atari Jaguar. Can't wait to try out my other consoles on it.

Hey, if you knew the pres was going to post this, you could have made a lot of cash shorting them. He and his family and cronies could have too, but that would have been illegal, right?

"Starmer vows to fight on" i.e. Starmer refuses to accept he has blown it.

So depressing. After 14 years of Tory leaders who were more interested in clinging to their own jobs than helping the UK population. Shows Starmer's Labour is the same old shitty story.

Not the new dawn people voted for.

Fantastic result. Congratulations to all, especially Hannah and @zackpolanski.bsky.social . Oh look, Labour came THIRD.

Seems like the Green Party are going to win in Denton and Gorton. Brilliant. Shame on Starmer, and good riddance to Goodwin.

Looking forward to hysterical "millionaires to flee the area" and worse type hatchet jobs to flood the poisoned media tomorrow. #choosehope

I saw it FIVE times at the cinema with my then friends when it came out. Bearing in mind I grew up on a northern council estate and had to get an 8 mile bus to get there. Very fond memories aged 10/11. It was what it was.

It's so dreadful that we've gone back to apprentice. It's shite, but a bit less tedious. A little bit.

On the same visit we also saw Philip Glenister and family looking miserable in a restaurant. If that helps.
