I remember when Cameron vetoed the EU fiscal pact (yeah I'm old) and lots of people proclaimed it a disaster and how the UK was isolated but others said maybe, but insofar as someone standing on the pier watching the Titanic was also isolated, and I can't help thinking this analogy applies well here

or, more likely, where the learnt it from!

Hegseth: "The only ones who need to be worried right now are Iranians who think they're going to live"

a graph of seattle link light rail ridership, shown as a rolling 12M average

US transit data is out today, and Seattle's Link remains one of the fastest-growing rail systems in the nation, with ridership up 9% in the wake of the extension to Federal Way

Ridership should increase even further at the end of this month when the 1 & 2 lines are connected🧵

I recall hearing an early rumor after the 2024 election that a certain Fox weekend host was under consideration to be SecDef.

And spraying coffee out of my nose.

Vivid memory.

Hegseth asked about Russia helping Iran to target Americans:

"We're not concerned about that... The only ones that need to be worried right now are Iranians that think they're going to live."

A grotesquely indiscriminate threat against the entire Iranian population.

PUPPY! 😍

We’re all celebrating out here at the Capitol! #ByeKristi 🐾

Genuinely amazing and mad the US has kicked this off for, seemingly, no real reason or theory of victory. Just for the hell of it.

God, sometimes I feel very sorry for Rachel Reeves

I'm starting to get a sense this part of the equation wasn't planned out or workshopped in advance. "under every rock" lol.

Donald Trump right now (they're talking about College football, btw):

"The Supreme Court ought to be ashamed of itself!" -- Trump is now working himself up into a frothing rage

DOOCY: It sounds like the Russians are helping Iran target and attack Americans--


TRUMP: That's an easy problem compared to what we're doing here. What a stupid question that is to be asking at this time. We're talking about something else.

Kamala Harris dropped an "unburdened by what has been" at Jesse Jackson's eulogy

Or, the rest of the world?

Something very funny about Trump shattering American power by running out of weapons losing an unpopular war he started for no reason. Like, we all knew this was the final season for the Pax Americana, but that’s a heck of a swerve. Hats off to the writers’ room.

I've been surprised and quite heartened tbh to see the number of journalists who've written or done TV hits saying something along the lines of 'there is something wrong here, all of these people have cheerled for Brexit/Johnson/Truss and against Iraq, but now they want war in Iran?'

[Fires up my Quill]: 'how very dare you!'

To my surprise, the campaign also offered lessons in love. I gave a quote to a newspaper about my blossoming relationship with Eilidh Hargreaves, features director at Tatler, and how (unfortunately for her) we spent our first Valentine’s Day canvassing. The quote led to us trending on X thanks to some incel lefties who run an account called ‘Reform UK Exposed’. ‘The “Family, Community, Country” campaigner divorced only last month,’ it raged. Really? Eilidh and I met more than three years after my separation – at The Spectator Parliamentarian of the Year Awards no less. In any case, the attempted hit-job backfired as politicians and journalists rushed to our defence. ‘Ha ha!’ remarked one shrewd commentator. ‘Having an attractive and successful girlfriend will increase Goodwin’s popularity, you complete spanners.’ Indeed. I’ve tried and failed to forget another comment: ‘Goodwin is clearly punching

After reading Matt Goodwin’s diary in The Spectator, I am more convinced than ever that he has a humiliation fetish.

Or, X?

I love /s/ and now use it widely!

I’m pretty astonished Badenoch and Farage both decided to get lockstep behind Trump as he walks off a cliff.

Roger Rabbit's nemesis is also in attendance

"thank you Reek"

The Secretary of State's popped in because there's not much going on in his department

For some reason Condoleezza Rice is in Trump's "Saving College Sports" roundtable and she looks delighted about it

So Iran now has, perhaps for the first time, information about the location of our most sensitive covert sites in the region.

A completely foreseeable, unnecessary consequence of unnecessary war with Iran.
