#InternationalWomensDay #IWD2025 On this special day I remember Lydia Willcox (née Berry). A remarkable and accomplished woman, a child protection solicitor, a true friend to so many but to us a wonderful mother and partner whose loss is scarcely bearable.

@rubencristiano9 @atrupar Why argue for something which is patently wrong? The world is not flat, gravity is real and mathematics is beautiful.

RFK Jr: "A Democratic senator claimed it's mathematically impossible to have a drug drop by 600%. I said, 'Well, if the drug was $100 and it raises to $600, that would be a 600% rise. If it drops from $600 to $100, that's a 600% savings.'" Trump: "Right"

Obsessed with Scotland. I swear in the next five years I'll be living there with a secluded beach as my garden, sipping green tea and owning numerous pets.

@atrupar It actually makes much more sense to mention percentages in the positive frame all the time to keep them standardized and thus easily comparable. Hopefully more people start adopting Trump's way

When- as a specialist- you see a patient who says something negative about their GP? Don't smile and go along with it. Explain why it's difficult for GP to give them the access and care they need And how we work to a narrow area of expertise compared to the broad area they do. Times are tough enough- and the least we can all do? Is help our own doctor colleagues. Just a personal view.

11:39. Just really tired. External services emailing problems across that they could solve themselves because we're the path of least resistance. 629 tasks. 24 staff. 249 minutes. One practice. One Monday morning. This is general practice. This is what we do. Every single day.

My last day working as a nurse for the NHS. After 30 years and at 70 years old it’s to time to hang my hat and belt up. It’s been a humbling, privileged and very happy career. NHS you’re the best.

@Protect_Wldlife So sad to hear this - his work has inspired so very many. On a lighter note, we joked that we'd do a road show called The Two Allens - but then decided, because our names are spelt differently, it should just be called Little and Large. (I'm 6 foot 4 and he... rather less so.)

Sad News Doug Allan, David Attenborough’s cameraman, has died in Nepal aged 74. Doug, who recorded footage for BBC programmes such as Blue Planet, was described as a ‘true pioneer of wildlife film-making’. He was a fabulous cameraman; after working as a research diver with the British Antarctic Survey, he became an expert in filming in some of the world’s wildest and most inhospitable places. You will have seen his work in Blue Planet, Frozen Planet and many more iconic Natural History series. He was wonderful man - full of love for the natural world, laughter, fun. He died doing what he loved. 🎥

This is terrible. So many lives lost due to a caprious President under the sway of the war criminal Netanyahu. Evil in action
cginisty@cginisty

🔴 Le New York Times vient de publier le récit le plus accablant sur Trump depuis le début de la guerre. Et c'est une bombe. Jonathan Swan et Maggie Haberman, deux journalistes de la Maison Blanche, révèlent comment Trump a pris la décision d'entrer en guerre contre l'Iran. Ce qu'ils décrivent est exactement ce que j'analyse dans Le Pantin de la Maison Blanche. Voici les faits. Netanyahu a vendu un rêve. Le 11 février, dans la Situation Room, le Premier ministre israélien a présenté un scénario en quatre actes : tuer le Guide Suprême, détruire l'armée iranienne, déclencher une révolution populaire, installer un nouveau régime. Il a même montré une vidéo de montage avec les "futurs dirigeants" de l'Iran. Trump a répondu : "Sounds good to me." En une phrase, il venait de sceller le destin de la région. Le lendemain, la CIA a dit que c'était du vent. Les parties 3 et 4 du pitch de Netanyahu, la révolution populaire et le changement de régime, ont été qualifiées de "farce" par Ratcliffe lui-même. Rubio a traduit : "In other words, it's bullshit." Le général Caine a ajouté : "C'est la procédure standard des Israéliens. Ils survendent, et leurs plans ne sont pas toujours bien développés." Trump a entendu. Et il a quand même dit oui. Vance a tout vu. Le vice-président était le seul dans la pièce à s'opposer frontalement, avertissant que la guerre pourrait "détruire la coalition politique de Trump", que le Détroit d'Ormuz était le vrai point de vulnérabilité, que personne ne pouvait prédire les représailles iraniennes quand la survie d'un régime était en jeu. Il a dit : "Tu sais que je pense que c'est une mauvaise idée. Mais si tu veux le faire, je te soutiendrai." Ce n'est pas du courage politique. C'est de la déférence. Susie Wiles a regardé. La cheffe de cabinet, qui avait des inquiétudes, a estimé que ce n'était "pas son rôle" de s'exprimer sur une décision militaire devant les autres. Elle a "encouragé les conseillers à partager leurs vues." Elle s'est tue. Le général Caine n'a jamais dit non. Il a exposé les risques : diminution des stocks de munitions, Détroit d'Ormuz, pas de voie claire vers la victoire. Puis il a dit : "Si vous ordonnez l'opération, l'armée exécutera." Trump, lui, "entendait seulement ce qu'il voulait entendre." Et Trump a signé à bord d'Air Force One, 22 minutes avant la deadline fixée par son propre général : "Operation Epic Fury is approved. No aborts. Good luck." Voilà comment on entre en guerre au XXIe siècle. Pas avec une délibération solennelle. Pas avec un vote du Congrès. Pas avec une stratégie de sortie. Avec un slide show de Netanyahu, un "sounds good to me", et une note envoyée depuis un avion. Dans Le Pantin de la Maison Blanche, j'écris que les vrais décideurs sont ceux qui préparent les présentations que Trump regarde. Netanyahu l'a compris mieux que quiconque. Il a mis en scène une heure de spectacle visuel dans la Situation Room avec Mossad en fond d'écran, des vidéos de "futurs dirigeants", une promesse de victoire rapide et propre. Et Trump a dit oui. Pendant que Vance, Rubio, Wiles et Caine regardaient. Voici l'article du New-York Times : nytimes.com/2026/04/07/us/… 📖 Le Pantin de la Maison Blanche → amazon.fr/dp/B0GPCCMS68/

@Hal_Turner_Show @Microinteracti1 Are you paid to be a Russian asset or just gullible? Look at a map. Norway, Estonia, Latvia now Finland and Sweden all in NATO bordering Russia. Do you remember the 1994 Budapest Memorandum? Remember the Russian invasion of Crimea?

We're aligning with Moscow because Moscow is right and Europe is wrong. We promised the Soviets we would not move NATO "one inch eastward" if they allowed East and West Germany to re-unify. They allowed it, then we broke our word; moved NATO right up to Russia's Border. When NATO then tried to recruit Ukraine, Russia told everyone "no." Ukraine said "We're sovereign, we will do as we like." Russia replied "If Ukraine joins NATO it will put American missiles on Ukraine soil with a five minute flight time to Moscow. No nation can defend itself from such a thing, you cannot join NATO." Ukraine replied "We are sovereign, we will do as we want." Russia said "Oh yea? Here. Meet the Russian Army." Now, Euro-trash like you whine about it. NATO expansion caused all this. Accept reality.

No serious nation in the history of warfare has spent fourteen months insulting its allies, siding with their common enemy, and then knocked on their door expecting them to rescue a catastrophe of its own making. You abused the UK. Threatened Canada. Tried to grab Greenland. Called the EU an adversary. Praised Putin. Hosted Kremlin officials in the Capitol. Abandoned Ukraine. And did all of it loudly, proudly, and on camera. And now you are surprised that nobody is returning your calls. You want European boots on the ground? Start by explaining why America is more aligned with Moscow than with Brussels. Take your time. We will wait. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

The Europeans are not dealing with “a man.” They are dealing with the United States of America. The United States needed the most innocuous kind of cooperation from them. They denied the United States that cooperation. The implied argument is that their obligations within our alliance depend on whether they like the guy we chose as our president. “Sure, we’re allies…if we approve of who you elected.” Nope. We are not going to forget, and we’re not going to forgive. I’m indifferent to their excuses or their rationalizations. The United States of America needed their help and not very much help. They turned us down. That changes everything. And they aren’t going to like how it changes everything.
