I absolutely LOVE this guy. I wish we could clone him. Finally someone speaking some humanity & truth. Let’s give appreciation for him! 👏🏻

@JezCorden Yep fair play they look to have nailed the endgame loop 👍🏻

Diablo 4 really nailed that "one more thing before bed ..." feel with the War Plans system.

What these extraordinary numbers make clear is that Reform is less a political party and more a very highly paid public-facing lobby group for oil and gas interests desmog.com/2026/04/30/ref…

I know there is a lot of news around but can someone at the Beeb explain to me how a man they keep telling us might be the next PM getting an undisclosed donation of FIVE MILLION POUNDS from a Thai based crypto dealer (with a BS explanation about it being for lifelong security) is not even a news story when the man he wants to replace led the news for days over some glasses and Arsenal tickets?

This @WhiteHouse "Fake Assassination Department." This guy totally nails it. 👇😂👇😂👇😂👇

@HouseGOP Staged, staged, staged

MAGA accounts tweet in unison about the need for a White House ballroom following WHCD incident

This is magnificent

THE LITTLE THINGS THAT MAKE INTROVERTS HAPPY 1. No small talk whatsoever 2. Fresh sheets and a quiet night 3. Headphones on and the world off 4. Cancelled plans they didn’t want 5. Being allowed to just exist 6. Absolute silence after a busy day 7. Reading books alone 8. The house all to yourself 9. Zero expectations from anyone 10. Doing absolutely nothing without guilt

Let me walk you through the events of the war so far: 1. The United States and Israel tried regime change; it didn’t work. Or rather, they got regime change—Iran became an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps–led military dictatorship. That was not an improvement. 2. The U.S. won an overwhelming military victory with air and naval power and scarcely a boot on the ground. But it destroyed less of Iran’s missile- and drone-launching capabilities than at first appeared. 3. Then there was a hostage crisis. Iran took both the Gulfies and the Strait of Hormuz hostage. The result was a massive economic shock for the world that required a rapid resolution. 4. The choice was between 1) military escalation (boots on the ground or strikes on Iranian infrastructure), and 2) a diplomatic deal. Trump chose 2. 5. In Islamabad, the U.S proposed big economic concessions in return for some kind of change in the status of Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile, as well as the reopening of the strait. Contrary to the president’s social media feed, the Iranians did not accept. 6. In any case, the devil of any deal will be in the details, not the Truth headline. (When the small print finally comes out, every former Obama and Biden official will be ready to tell The New York Times that it’s worse than the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.) 7. Meanwhile, the Iranians have survived regime change and discovered that closing the strait is just as powerful a lever in economic warfare as they had always hoped. It’s not, despite the Russian quip, an “economic nuke,” because unlike a nuclear weapon you can use it. 8. Where we go from here is fairly predictable. I would be surprised if Trump now deploys ground forces. There will be more negotiation, so Islamabad, here we come. There may have to be more bombing, if the Iranians dust down the North Vietnamese playbook of stringing the U.S. negotiators along. And the final compromise will take longer to be agreed upon than Mr. Market currently believes. The consensus in prediction markets is this will be over by the end of May, but remember: It took Henry Kissinger more than four months to get the 1973–1974 oil embargo lifted.

What an incredible English gentleman. He stood up to shake hands at the age of 90.
