"People we had in mind are dead": Trump admits US preferred successors to ayatollah were killed - Salon.com The president admitted that his administration's first choices to lead Iran had been killed in airstrikes.

Bells can also stress cats out. Imagine you heard a little ding every time you moved.

Would 100% dump anyone who said “it’s me or the cats”

Paul mescal hates cats and jessie buckley made her now-husband get rid of his cats, which is crazy to me

From knowing nothing about these people to "huh, I think my feelings are now negative"

One in five international protection refusals from applicants from so-called "safe countries" is overturned on appeal

Greens overtake Labour in sensational poll The Greens have polled higher than Labour in the latest poll by YouGov, which puts them only two points off Reform UK and five ahead of the governing party.

“The Greens are now the most popular party in all age categories under 50. Some 49% of 18-24 year olds would back the Greens, as well as 27% of 25 to 49-year-olds - the top choice.”

Here we were all thinking that he was being a dick to immigrants for cynical electoral purposes and, well, maybe he’s just a dick

I really hope this guy does become FF leader. He will lead them into electoral oblivion

Oh the humanity

Chambers suggested restrictions on ‘no foal, no fee’ environmental cases Minister for Public Expenditure sought ‘radical options’ to deal with judicial reviews of planning and infrastructure issues

Potentially fatal blow to the Govt's plan to cap fees in environmental Judicial Reviews.

Proof that it's motivated by desire to reduce JRs, rather than the lie that it's just to make fees "predictable." Wait until the Aarhus Committee & CJEU get a hold of this.

@thejournal.ie Foreign Affairs Minister Helen McEntee said she "can't say" whether the US and Israeli strikes on Iran are illegal under international law, as she faced questions about the Government's response to the rapidly escalating conflict

Gentle reminder that you don't have to fully boycott Amazon, just stop making it your default. Need socks? Lots of places sell socks. Need printer paper? Need rye flour? Many other options.

"This startup only sells through Amazon!"

Okay, buy that but don't buy the sneakers and coffee beans.
