Speaking of things seen on the bad place: the Iranians are firing missiles with cluster munition warheads at Tel Aviv. I guess international law is only important when people we dislike break it
command and control banjaxed
As @enricjuliana.bsky.social notes in his column this week Trump has done Sánchez a huge favour by singling him out for condemnation. If the war drags on Sánchez may be tempted to call an early declaration and run as the peace and rule of law candidate
I read it at the bad place, and you'll note that my post doesn't endorse the decision to take grave risks looking for his remains.
Of course Israelis value Israeli lives more than they value Iranian or Lebanese ones, just like Brits valued British lives over Irish ones in the recent conflict. It's what what people do, how socitiets organise themselves: ingroup lives matter more than outgroup ones.
It's been nice interacting with Steve up to no, we agree on a lot, but as a matter of basic moral hygiene I avoid people who repeat antisemitic talking points,

Absolutely wild, not sure whether in a good or bad way, that the Israelis should put their elite soldiers at risk to recover the bones of Ron Arad, an air crew member murdered in captivity 40 years ago
Mamdani se reúne con Trump. Elogios mutuos. “Mamdani es un genio”, dicen los progres.
Messi, que en su vida hizo un comentario político, se reúne con Trump obligado por su contrato. “Messi es un fascista”, dicen los progres.
The world's on fire and Sánchez puts out a video of him playing with his dogs in the grounds of la Moncloa while the opposition condemn him both for not joining the war AND for sending a frigate to help protect Cyprus. Yes, he's trolling them
Further confirmation, not that it was needed, that Lammy is a moron.
"We'll shoot ourselves in the nuts, chest, and head if you don't stop attacking Iran"
For the night shift
Irish ppl of a certain age will recall jokes about the Shah becoming Ní hea.
Over at Insta I see Emirates boasting about many flights it's gotten away and how things are pretty much great, all things considered. Smacks of hubris and the wish to project normality in a very non normal situation. And DXB is safe for operations? Really?
In case we were in any doubt about shit getting real in the Middle East veteran Argentine journalist is heading there to cover it. That he's on his way is considered a news item in itself in Argentina. 🤣

a little bit, but not much 😜

awful but true
English people struggle to take Italy seriously in all areas of human activity other than food and nice holiday locations. So not just rugby
creo que preguntas absurdas son incompatible con ser un medio serio

you have to read this @tferrer.journa.host.ap.brid.gy
Sorry if you can't read Spanish but the piece below is utterly brilliant and justifies newsletters like Substack. No legacy outlet wd have published it wo the editor demanding it be "sharpened" and that the author say what he means explicitly rather than counting on his readers intelligence
terrified of the pro-regime randoms with AKs imposing discipline, I'd imagine. Wd be interesing to know what´s going on in the cities that haven't been heavily attacked
Spain's main opposition party demands that the govt of "pacifist" Pedro Sánchez get approval from Congress for sending a frigate to help protect Cyprus. The same party has slammed him for not letting the US use Spanish bases to attack Iran. Insane
when I was a kid visits to Galway were mind-blowing, a city!!, or so it seemed. Imagine how I felt the first time in London
deciding on a person's life chances on the score they can get in an exam aged 12 is insane. what the fuck is wrong with these people
