Once is happenstance; twice is coincidence. Three times is…friendly fire?!

It’s not a movie: it’s a game. And the player’s nasty little sibling has the controls….

I don’t know about that…yo should have seen the dreams I was having in 1983 - based around a video game that involved trying to shoot down incoming missiles. Nasty times!!

BREAKING | Iran's Fars News Agency, citing sources close to the office of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, reports that the leader's daughter, son-in-law, and grandchild were killed in today's US-Israeli attacks.

Additionally, it has been reported that one of his daughters-in-law was also killed in the attacks.

The US/Israel axis massacred 115 schoolchildren, 20 volleyball players, and the grandchildren of Khamenei today.

Just indiscriminate, depraved barbarism from the Epstein Empire.

I worked an extra 3 years - largely to safeguard my lab against a potentially malign HoD, but also because students - and it was time to go. I went. Long driving trips in Africa have ensued…!
