This should be great

Well, I for one am extremely relieved that the line between the "defensive" strikes Keir Starmer said UK bases could be used for, and offensive ones is so clear-cut, and that we can trust the US to respect it on every sortie. Phew! ukaviation.aero/raf-fairford...

Maybe of interest (UK viewers) for those looking to binge some proper classic crime drama!

BREAKING: US says it has no choice but to keep fighting war to reopen the Strait of Hormuz that is only closed because the US started the war

🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: Over the past week alone, the Russians struck Ukraine with 1,770 attack drones, more than 1,530 guided aerial bombs, and 86 missiles, including more than 20 ballistic ones.

Bunty & I are off on a short break. We are on a mission to save somewhere hot, sunny & Christian. Yes we’re off to protect Dubai from Iran with: Ramrod our golden Lab Newly bronzed flaps Muffins And pumped up camel toes. Conor & Andrew, we’re on our way loves!😘 Back in 5 days!🐫

I’ve had an epiphany. I started in the medical field when I was younger. Some M.D.’s have been condescending to EVERYONE except other Physicians. As long as they were competent & polite I was fine. I’ve noticed they don’t seem to like if you ask questions. I want to know how I’m being treated .

Friends! It’s #mothersday here in the UK and we are sending love to all Mums 🌺 We are sharing a Throwback video this morning, to when Baby Dog and I became Surrogate Mums to 3 tiny kittens! It turned our world upside down, but we knew we had to look after them to the best of our ability, and we did

A secretive political organisation is paying influencers US$1500 per post to attack a young, female Democratic candidate in an upcoming primary in Illinois. I'd expect to see something similiar coming from Advance ahead of the Farrer byelection, and electoral laws struggle to respond.

Friends! We like to respond to requests when we can. Our lovely friend, Donna asked to see Percy and Cleo together because she sometimes mixes them up. So here they are. Spot the differences! 🤎🧡 #caturday

If only there had been some sort of clue that Trump is a grotesque idiot…

Good news for all of you that were concerned the worst might have happened to Netanyahu, I've spoken to my friend Margaret Thatcher and she has confirmed he has arrived safely in hell ♥️

Oh. Due process followed perfectly. The Tory politicians & client journalists lying desperately about all this were, of course, cheering & chuckling away when *two* of Boris Johnson’s ethics advisers resigned in disgust at his staggering contempt for ethics. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Ossoff: "When American service members are returning in flag-draped coffins... this White House treats war like a [videogame]. It's a disgrace... it speaks to the moral rot of this administration." It's a shame this is where we are as a country.

Democratic Senator Mark Kelly: Name calling from a draft dodger doesn't bother me. What bothers me is a clueless commander in chief who took our country to war without a strategy because no one around him has the guts to tell him when he's wrong.

Hegseth just called Iranians "rats" and Trump said something equally as stupid.

'Still life at Charleston' (1945) depicts a scene inside Duncan Grant's studio at Charleston farmhouse in East Sussex, it was a period where his work began to shift toward a richer use of colour.

So....Trump can declare a victory and remove the fleet from the Middle East. However, what if Iran is fine with that yet continues to block the straits and attack tankers? What can Trump threaten them with now? Therein lies the scary answer and I'm sure Israel would love to use tactical nukes.

Anyone who disapproves is an antisemite www.normalisland.co.uk/p/idf-soldie...

Yeah, it's definitely a "Middle East" problem, and not colonial intervention and violence, genocide, ecocide, exploitation of resources, dispensational premillennialism, absurd Sykes-Picot land borders, the fossil fuel lobby, or anything else. It's just us. We're the problem.

Painted in 1935, Tamara de Lempicka’s still life is a rare departure from her portraits but it does have common characteristics such as her love of transparent and reflective surfaces.

You've all heard of the Resource Curse: countries are impoverished by rich resources in their territories, as these trigger colonial looting. Now we see the Base Curse: if you host a US base, you don't enhance your security. You make yourself a target.

I never, ever tire of seeing David Hockney’s exquisite work up close & so yesterday’s trip to the Serpentine Gallery was a treat: his year in Brittany paintings morphed into one long, Bayeux-type piece! This winter-into-spring section will especially resonate today! Wishing you a super special day!

Jill came across a shoplifter in the village shop yesterday. She hid a huge muffin under her coat & then stuffed moist baps down her trousers. When challenged this deranged woman told Jill to frack off & called her a blob. Simple Sally chased her off with a mop & a blow torch. 😱

Jeremy Corbyn suggests that Keir Starmer should step down over the Mandelson-Epstein affair

Be ANGRY about the SAVE Act, not scared!

'The Working Woman.' (1905) Helene Schjerfbeck is one of many women artists who keep getting rediscovered over and over again. Every decade or so, a curator shines a brief spotlight on Schjerfbeck, before she slips out of sight again.

Missile by missile, the US is blowing its own hegemony apart.

Glorious!

RIP to all the Americans who are about to die in the coming false flag so the paedophiles don't have to go to jail 😭😭😭

No to Palantir. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Imagine a child decades from now, standing in a barren field, looking at a history book. They will see photos of giants—trees that stood before empires rose—and they will ask us: "You knew they were the lungs of the planet. You knew they were ancient. Why did you let them die?"

Under no circumstances should this unflattering picture be disseminated.

Virologist Charlotte Friend (b. #OTD in 1921) proved viruses could cause cancer (1957) & revolutionized virology (& helped define modern retrovirology). She later pioneered differentiation therapy, showing cancer cells could be "reverted" to health, defining a new path to treat cancer. #WomenInSTEM

With Basil on the fivers it’d surely be Boom Boom for our economy. 🦊

DISTRACTIONS DON’T WORK. COVERUPS WON’T WORK. NOT EVEN WAR. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

Who needs Churchill or a bloody beaver on a crisp £5 note?😤 I have been designing some alternatives which I think you’ll agree are infinitely more superior. 👍
