Very true!💜❤️‍🔥
Helen McCrory is much missed. Brilliant actor, and fabulous in this

Very tired of all the reporting from trump's pov, very largely uncritically like this isn't all utter fucking madness

Yes, exactly! He's completely transformed from when he's, say, in interview. An incredible presence

That's interesting!!!
I see these wholly inadequate men of their time reacting and blustering etc etc but with Tommy Shelby's (in particular) emerging heart and totally conflicted humanity emerging. And I find his character - the way Cillian Murphy plays him - completely captivating.

Ah, brilliant! Have you enjoyed it?

That's ok. I'm a midlands girl..all over the regional stuff 🤣

a man in a suit and hat is walking in a foggy room Alt: a man in a suit and hat is walking in a foggy room...it is Tommy Shelby doing "his walk"

Going to rewatch series 6 of Peaky Fackin Bloinders ahead of the Immortal Man and also because who doesn't need a bit more Tommy Shelby in their lives

‘A very dangerous person’: alarm as Pete Hegseth revels in carnage of Iran war Critics say brash, bombastic Fox News host out of his depth to guide US military through murky new Middle East conflict

Goldbeck, a Marine Corps veteran, on hegseth: “I wish I could say how cavalier, obtuse and hopeless Secretary Hegseth is at leading the Pentagon. I can’t even muster the words to describe his self-adulation, matched only in scope by his apparent moral depravity.

Really grim

I spent the afternoon working too
ARGHHH

Me too! And I like AC. Much needed escapism tbh

Loved the Night Manager. But you need to start with Season 1.
For something gentle, but well done, I'm currently enjoying Agatha Christie's Seven Dials (4 x 1hr)

Babies. Children. Women.
That's who he's boasting and crowing about murdering and this is not fucking normal.

It turns out the U.S. did a “double tap” attack just as emergency responders were arriving at the girls’ elementary school. This is what the Russians do routinely in Ukraine.

That’s a war crime under international humanitarian law.

Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday

Cooper rejects Blair’s call for UK to have backed Trump’s strikes on Iran Foreign secretary hits back at former prime minister, saying Britain had to ‘learn the lessons’ of Iraq war

Safe to say Blair didn't read Chilcot then or learn one tiny damn thing from Iraq

www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

💯. That's Blair's only role: to stfu

🤣🤣🤣🐘

It is absolutely bizarre / infuriating/ disingenuous that people cannot see that there was a time to try to court influence to at least try to have some influence (Ukraine, tariffs, trade deals, NATO etc) and a time not to (now) and that does not mean in any way weakness or inconsistency

Oh good god 😩

"International Women's Day"

What does it even mean 💔

Absolutely the same.
With those jeering, cheering monsters in the WH as they wreak death. It's all unspeakably vile. Horrific.

Guardian headline from today: Trump joins families of six slain US service members at Dover air force base // US president attends ‘dignified transfer’ of remains of soldiers killed in Kuwait drone strike wearing ‘USA’ golf cap US president attends ‘dignified transfer’ of remains of soldiers killed in Kuwait drone strike wearing ‘USA’ golf cap José Olivares

Skeptical quote marks doing their job here

"Dignified transfer" of soldiers' remains with trump in a sparkly cap.
Right.

Genuinely appalling - even more so than usual - from Philp.

This mornings random thought. Is Trump the epitome of AI? No actual awareness of anything, just an Artificial Intelligence digesting other peoples selective knowledge and excreting out garbage. Add to that profiteering at the expense of humanity and complete ignorance of what humanity actually is.

Starmer’s position is entirely consistent with what he wrote about Iraq in 2003, a fact of enormous inconvenience to just about everybody currently criticising it. Happily for them, just like the entire bloody Chilcot Inquiry it is apparently very easy to ignore.

This is nothing like Iraq where the UK are concerned because thank God the government seem to have learned the lessons of Tony Blairs mad involvement.

Even if Tony Blair has not.

Somebody, please ask all these Trump-fluffing British politicians exactly what their policy will be regarding the Iranian refugee crisis they are so desperate to create.

Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran.

No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles.

Worth a watch.

Middle East crisis live: Israeli military begins strikes on Beirut suburbs; Trump demands say in choosing Iran’s next supreme leader IDK says it is striking Dahiya neighborhood in southern suburbs of Beirut after earlier issuing evacuation order; Trump dismisses idea of Khamenei’s son succeeding his father as leader

Strikes on Beiruit suburbs.

Forced evacuation order sparked "widespread panic...women pushing strollers holding infants through bumper-to-bumper traffic."

My heart breaks for them 💔
