If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

@lbc.co.uk I rarely listen to Rachel Johnson but I heard this exchange just now:
Caller: I suffered with my mental health last year after my grandmother and my cat died. We couldn't afford a funeral so we had to bury her in a microwave in the garden.
Rachel: Your grandmother?
Caller: No, the cat.

American Airlines Passenger Melts Down After Being Booted for Playing Videos on Loudspeaker A Miami-Tampa flight descended into mayhem.

More of this please. I'm so sick of inconsiderate people who use speakerphones to subject me to their loud phone calls, videos, and games.

The Gulf's moment of truth - reshaping the Middle East As Iran continues to attack its Gulf neighbours could the strikes turn into a wider war? Who might be drawn in? And with Iran hitting friends as well as foes, how will this war reshape the Middle…

Anyone (like me) struggling to understand the geopolitical history, the key moving pieces, and possible consequences of what is happening in the Gulf right now - this is a really excellent explainer from the Sunday Times

David Copperfield’s name is all over the Epstein files.

It’s no secret. I even posted about him years ago.

He’s stepping down from his Las Vegas residency.

Not good enough.

Why hasn’t he been dragged in front of James Comer and the House Oversight Committee for a hearing?

Every time we sell another major UK business into private hands we see a drop in the quality of service; massive price increases, and 6 people become multi millionaires.
Kretinsky was ALWAYS going to do exactly this. He doesn't give a shit about parliamentary scrutiny.

All this monster ever cared about was what he did in secret with this guy. And now he is doing everything to stop you finding out what he did. Even if that includes killing thousands of people. Are you really ok with that?

Surely one of the most consequential politicians in recent years, with one of the most important statements about the state of our world. What is your view Nick?

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

WASHINGTON, DC - MARCH 03: U.S. Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) speaks as U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem testifies before the Senate Judiciary Committee in the Dirksen Senate Office Building on March 03, 2026 in Washington, DC. (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)

Cory Booker to Kristi Noem: “Either you are utterly incompetent or you are violating laws with impunity — You should step down from your position. If you don’t, you should be removed by this president, and if not, Congress should impeach you”

WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin?

NOEM: Yes

WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that?

NOEM: No.

after absolutely eviscerating Kristi Noem and calling for her resignation, Tillis is applauded. He thens threatens to hold up nominees if she doesn't stop stonewalling him. My God.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
To the women in my engineering classes:
While it is my intention in every other interaction I share with you to treat you as my peer, let me deviate from that to say that you and Fare in fact unequal.
Sure, we are in the same school program, and you are quite possibly getting the same GPA as I, but does that make us equal?
I did not, for example, grow up in a world that discouraged me from focusing on hard science.
Nor did I live in a society that told me not to get dirty, or said I was bossy for exhibiting leadership skills.
In grade school I never had to fear being rejected by my peers because of my interests.
I was not bombarded by images and slogans telling
me that my true worth was in how I look, and that I should abstain from certain activities because I might be thought too masculine.
I was not overlooked by teachers who assumed that the reason I did not understand a tough math or science concept was, after all, because of my gender.
I have had no difficulty whatsoever with a boys club mentality, and I will not face added scrutiny or remarks of my being the "diversity hire*
When I experience success the assumption of others will be that I earned it.
So, you and I cannot be equal. You have already conquered far more to be in this field than I will ever face.

You cannot talk like this about any other minority in America.

And if it was any other president’s adviser who said something like this about any other minority, it’d be the instant end of their presidency.
