Fearing for his child’s prospects, a Microsoft veteran dug into the data and found the jobs to avoid and skills to develop. Wait and see is not an option, he writes

@cheesemanab Last I heard IntelliNews was looking to replace the Beirut correspondent.

Working for WaPo’s Middle East team was an honour. But I made the heartwrenching decision to leave the paper last month. I’m still in Lebanon and open for new opportunities. If your newsroom is looking for narrative-driven accountability reporting (or other things!) do reach out

“Adventure travel is where the AI backlash should manifest.” Erik Blanchard says at the #ATTA #AdventureELEVATE Europe 2026 Link in comments.

@DaveShapi Mysterious bank that is nowhere in the UK...

Redundant biomass

@BirthGauge @Blackpillson Does that mean naturalised or native are leaving?

@Blackpillson Around 110,000 British aged 65 and over live in Spain. That is less than 1% of the total British pensioner population.

Net migration to the UK amounted to +171K in 2025, down from +331K in 2024. While British (-136K) and EU citizens (-42K) are leaving in large numbers, the amount of non-EU-migration (+350K) is still at a high level.

I put sumak on my red onions the other day. Wife looked confused at me.

AI is now being used to plan your break, according to a new study. Have you let ChatGPT and Claude take over your plans?

The GCC region was losing roughly $600mn a day in visitor spending at the peak of the Iran War, hitting in the highest-yield trading window of the year. Around 76% of investors reported significant RevPAR declines, with nearly half seeing declines of more than 20%. Link 👇

A friend said to me he was staying in his Victorian pile because he said his kids wouldn't be able to afford a house in 15 years. I said to him that he needn't worry, as the UK will soon be in a situation with 9 million empty homes.

And this is how the Spectator thinks of northerners.

@AzeriTimes Poor Masoud 😂

@DanielRadJ Yes and no, Daniel. I have people telling me they like to Switch off and wear a mechanical timepiece. To feel the essence of time, in their own time, without interruptions. Always personal preference. Good to hear from you 🍻

@golnarM Disagree. During the Jcpoa time as part of the AML/CFT debates it was clear to us in local press to interact with international businesses local companies had to up their game or transactions wouldn't commence. 90% of DD raised dozens of red flags that made business impossible.

@dpatrikarakos Up the northern takeover!

@DrMichaelBonner @macaodhaaa Because he has automaton like character fails to sound genuine and basically governs by focus group. Hardly inspiring.

@macaodhaaa Why do *they* think Starmer is disliked?

I can easily understand disliking Sir Keir and not wanting him to be PM. But what are the Labour parliamentary party's reasons for wanting him out?

@borzou 🤣

@DanielRadJ Judging from the way they look, if World War III arrived tomorrow, they would head for the supermarket and clear out the salty snack section

These are Iranian immigrants in Denmark presenting themselves as a militia organized to take down the Iranian regime on behalf of the monarchist cause. How is this remotely acceptable? What must ordinary Danes think of these people who have made the country their home only to act like they’re willing to take up arms on behalf of a foreign cause? If they are so keen on combat, why don’t they volunteer for the Danish armed forces and defend the country against Russian encroachments?
