Norwegian counterterrorism police have cordoned off the US Embassy in Oslo following reports of a blast.

❤️ it’s a joy to have you, Lynn.

I love Bluesky for that reason. It’s great having conversations here with Canadians.

Damn.

North Tehran’s Aqdasiyeh oil depot is ablaze tonight after it was targeted by multiple US-Israeli airstrikes. Apocalyptic scenes filmed by Iranians driving on the nearby highway. Local reporters saying firefighters can’t put it out. This depot is critical energy infrastructure for Iran.

And a rumpled and badly fitting blue suit, when everyone else knew enough to wear black.

This is an excellent point to remember

Maps show geography.

But the names on them often show history, power, and perspective.

Regardless of which term is used, it’s a reminder that names on our maps often reflect worldview of the people who drew them.

Language evolves — sometimes geography does too.

Today, “Middle East” remains the most widely used term internationally.

But some scholars and organizations have begun using alternatives like SWANA (Southwest Asia and North Africa), which describe the region purely geographically.

The terminology reflected European perspective on geography — describing regions in relation to Europe rather than how people living there traditionally identified their lands.

Over time, the labels became standard in diplomacy, academia & media.

🧵 Since we seem to love maps here, a small geography question:

Why do we call it the “Middle East”?

The answer actually says quite a lot about who originally drew the maps.

Forget what you read about Marseille.

We are so happy to be here for a year, great people, great vibe and the food, scenery and kindness outstrips everything.

There's a grit to this city, like Naples and it's old and beautiful.

I definitely include you! You’re a valuable voice on that front and you bring a knowledge base that a lot of us lack.

BREAKING: No 10 response to Trump: As Keir Starmer said earlier this week, “President Trump has expressed his disagreement with our decision not to get involved in the initial strikes, but it is my duty to judge what is in Britain’s national interest. That is what I have done, & I stand by it”

For some reason Kremlin published an unedited recording of coughing and puffing Putin trying to wish women a happy March 8th Day

Ok, tried to record videos for YT and in all honestly - I’m exhausted. I will record and publish them tomorrow. Meanwhile, all articles are up on the website. 😊

Perfection

What's the difference between Vietnam and Iran?

Trump had a plan for getting out of Vietnam....

It’s up in Canada too

This is the Platonic ideal of a social media exchange, never again to be equaled or even attempted:

By the time Trump is done, America’s only allies will be the dictatorships who sign up for the Board of Peace.
