And now it has emerged that the suspect has an ISIS flag in his car. That's what makes it terrorism, not Ronald from Walthamstow who has 'University of Life' on his socials.

Devastating attack, and the first ISIS-affiliated attack or attempted attack on U.S. soil since 2017 by my count.

Terrorism isn't terrorism because keyboard warriors say so. It's always important to remember that what classes an act as terrorism is not what was done but why. The awful attack in New Orleans isn't terrorism unless a political motive is established/uncovered. Thoughts with victims & loved ones.

Watching London firework display from Spain. Insanely good.

Thrilled to see Fleetwood Mac getting an airing, too!

The absolute state of Sky News interviewing a schoolmate of Bashar al-Assad, asking him to let us know about 'the man'.

'The man' was one of the most brutal tyrants of the modern age. Thousands of his own people were starved, tortured and raped on his orders.

He is a bastard, not a Beatle.

The fall of Assad's regime in #Syria now seems imminent. #Aleppo, #Hama and now #Homs have fallen to HTS rebels and #Damascus is in sight.

The end of #Assad and his bloodBa'ath rule in Syria is welcome but I fear what is going to end up replacing it too.

What a year to be a student of International Relations. The destruction of #Hamas and #Hezbollah, Iranian attacks on #Israel, weakening of the #Assad regime and now what looks like the beginning of a colour revolution in #Georgia.

The hypocrisy of the United States on the ICJ decision to issue arrest warrants to Netanyahu and Gallant is off the chart. Abject amnesia of its international obligations when it's an ally who stands accused. I've never felt so angry towards this silly country in my life.

What a Labour legend John Prescott was. Proud to have met him back in 2017 and even prouder of his immense achievements in office. He will be missed. RIP.

Good. These two men are war criminals and should rot in The Hague for their genocidal crimes against innocent Palestinian civilians. #gaza

I thought @angelaraynermp.bsky.social was rather good today against the shouty Alex Burghart. Clear and dominant in an arena when faced with a man trying to make a name for himself. #pmqs

Alex Burghart is really, really bad at this. #pmqs

Just done the same!

Giving this another go after Musk’s assault on decency.

Who’s out there? Like travel and/or politics? Give me a follow!

The first three episodes of Rings of Power are a credible. Visually stunning, beautifully shot and hell, Sauron is terrifying!

We’re in for a hell of a second half of to 2024 if Iran and its proxies attack Israel and Belarus crosses the border into Ukraine in the same month 😳

The Kennedys will be turning in their graves.

This place feels fresh but it is a little empty at the moment.

I’m a secondary teacher who posts mainly about #travel and #politics. There may occasionally be teacher and #education talk too.

Who’s out there and wants to follow me?

Brilliant 😂

Ukraine’s Kursk offensive becomes more audacious, bizarre and remarkable by the day. The intensity of embarrassment this is causing to Putin is off the scale.

There are cracks in the Kremlin walls and they show yellow and blue.

Great to see you here. I’ve just moved over too. Hope this community to grow from strength to strength.

I have the same thoughts. Gentler, less busy and, though early days, seems like the right move!

Hey! Good to see you!

First post here after leaving ‘the other place’.

I’ll be posting mainly about travel and politics, probably in that order.

So, who is going to keep me company as I navigate my way through?
