If I'm not mistaken, in Iran the weekend is Thursday and Friday, so yesterday was their first day of the working week. So when you complain about Monday on Monday, remember that an email won't find Ali Khamenei well and he won't be able to take 5 minutes for a coffee break, because the previous […]

I usually hate on Substack for all the Nazi platforming, but today I'm going to hate on them for not understanding what journalism is. Like, add Polymarket data or don't, but let's not pretend that people speculating (in both senses) about events has anything to do with fact finding or reporting.
