“We cannot say that the United States’ actions are against international law, but we condemn Iran’s retaliatory actions as against international law,” is neither a coherent nor a compelling position.

"I know all about the troubles." lol no

remembering solemnly

Oh mate, not every country is the US. Citizenship in the UK has historically been a, uh, thorny issue

Oof. I just read your post in the most uncharitable, pedantic way possible, and I gotta tell ya: it's not looking good for you.

Thinking about Red Dwarf. Shout out to Rob Grant.

Aaron Sorkin has so much to answer for.

Absolute chaos in last night's game when the players enraged the philosopher construct made entirely of golden delicious. They proved that just because it thought it didn't really mean it existed. It really upset the apple Descartes.

I hope you're resting after that long walk

“A cynical violation of all norms of human morality and international law,” says Putin in a gushing blurb.

If you just take a beat to think about it, you might figure out the historical reasons we do this

A senior US defense official tells me that the US government agrees with the Israeli assessment that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead, along with 5-10 other top Iranian leaders who were all meeting at a compound in Tehran Saturday morning. The top IRGC commander also killed.

Another argument against "return to office" mandates.
