The complete lack of self-awareness of Americans will never cease to amaze me. The US just launched a war of aggression against Iran, which it started by murdering its entire leadership in the middle of negotiations. A few weeks earlier, it had attacked yet another country and abducted its leader in the middle of the night. At the same time, it's strangling Cuba, a country that poses no threat whatsoever to the US, by imposing a strict embargo on it, while openly threatening to use force against it unless the government does as Trump says. But despite all of that, they still think they're in a position to castigate "rogue states", lmao.

Since the 1990s, US presidents have largely succeeded in hunting down and eliminating rogue states. Donald Trump has the opportunity to finish them off. My latest in The Wall Street Journal. wsj.com/opinion/twilig…

@PawlowskiMario Switzerland ordered some Tomahawks years ago. Now the US said they can't deliver them. So Switzerland said then we won't pay. The US have now seized the funds we paid for the F-35s (which we probably won't get as well) instead. srf.ch/news/schweiz/z…

Not in the headline: Police arrested a man named Ori Solomon, a 55-year-old Israeli citizen, investigators found a cache of weapons and arrested Solomon on federal weapons charges. This should be a major story.

What began as a routine check triggered by a persistent odor led to an unsettling discovery: a hidden lab operating inside a California warehouse containing dangerous pathogens including HIV, malaria, COVID-19 and Ebola. latimes.com/california/sto…

The fact that Israel and the US are killing civilian officials is already crazy enough, but I don't think people realize how utterly insane it is that Israel even put Aragchi, a diplomat, on a kill list. Even Attila and Gengis Khan respected the immunity of diplomats.
Dominic Waghorn@DominicWaghorn

Credible reporting that the Israelis literally wanted noone left to talk to in Tehran even its foreign minister and had to be told to take him off the kill list. reuters.com/world/asia-pac…

Of course. It’s couched in terms of restriction to professional & business visas but we’ve seen how that gets abused on an industrial scale in education and itinerant workforce recruitment. I’d imagine Euro businesses are rubbing their hands at rotating expat area-managers through their branch offices. At least zee Hugo Boss boss vill be German now, ja?

Pain on the outside of your shoulder is also one of the most common problems I see in my practice. Lifters get it. Swimmers get it. Pickleball players get it. People who haven't lifted their arm overhead in years get it. For decades, we called it impingement and blamed a bone spur. That led to many unnecessary bone removal surgeries. We were treating the wrong thing.

One long-ago teen-day I realised my mother pronounced tremendous as ‘tremenjous’. I was amused, as it was one of those first realisations of parental foibles, and so gently chided her on it. She was not amused and excised it from her vocab for evermore! 😝

Admit it: Your kid mispronounced a word three years ago and now the whole family says it that way. What's the word in your house? (We still say 'pasketti' and I’m not stopping anytime soon.)

Now I've heard of two cases of euthanasia where a girl was put in a mental institution and then got raped by the other patients. - Dutch Milou Verhoof (17), euthanized in 2023, raped at age 13 & at 16. Her parents put her in the mental hospital & later called the euthanasia doctor. - Spanish Noelia Castillo Ramos (25), to be euthanized today, gang raped at age 22. Isn't it obvious what this is all about? Girls traumatized by societal neglect, lack of care, and diverse rapists. Their societies are to blame. And perhaps neglectful parents.

This is Wild. Deutsche Bank has developed an index that helps to predict the next TACO by Trump. It has proven effective in previous big Trump pivots. The "Pressure index" combines one-month change in approval ratings, one-year inflation expectations and performance of the S&P 500 & t-bill yields. The higher it goes, the greater the chances of 🌮

In 1970, a Mexican-American musician named Sixto Rodriguez released an album in Detroit, USA that critics described as genius. It sold approximately six copies in his home country. His record label dropped him. He went back to work in construction and demolition, swinging a sledgehammer in the streets of Detroit for the next two decades. Somewhere across the ocean, a single copy of that album found its way into South Africa. Nobody knows exactly how. The most repeated story is that an American girl brought it over during a visit. Her friends copied it. Their friends copied it. Under the apartheid regime that ruled South Africa at the time, the country was almost entirely cut off from the outside world. No internet. Severe media censorship. International cultural boycotts. Music from other countries circulated almost entirely through bootleg copies passed hand to hand. Rodriguez's music spread through an entire generation of young South Africans that way. His anti-establishment lyrics became a quiet soundtrack to those who opposed apartheid. By the 1980s he was considered as significant as the Beatles and Bob Dylan. Half a million copies of his album are estimated to have been sold or copied across the country. Nobody knew anything about him. Rumours spread that he had died on stage. The most common version said he had set himself on fire in front of an audience. In the late 1990s, two fans in Cape Town, South Africa decided to find out if any of it was true. They searched the early internet. They followed a chain of contacts. They eventually found him. Sixto Rodriguez was alive. He was in Detroit. He had no telephone, no computer, and no idea that millions of people on the other side of the world knew every word of his songs. He was fifty-six years old. He flew to South Africa and played six sold-out concerts to crowds who had believed for twenty years that he was dead. When he walked on stage for the first time he said: "I'd like to thank you for keeping me alive." He passed away in August 2023. He was eighty years old.

Singapore's FM. Very blunt on Trump: - "the underwriter of this world order has now become a revisionist power, and some people would even say a disruptor" - "the entire global economy has been taken hostage and we will all pay a price on hostilities" mfa.gov.sg/newsroom/press…

Australians can now live & work freely in the EU for 4 years and vice versa That means they now have 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆 EU rights than British people. Free movement offered millions of us fantastic opportunities but Brexiteers slammed that door shut, most shamefully on their own children
