Photos of all the school children killed by a US strike in Minab, Ireland
The United States killed all these children last Saturday.
170 of them.
Every. Single. One.
Probably good, because when this is over, he's not going to be able to leave the borders of the US without getting arrested for war crimes.

I just love the fluffy eyelids. 🪶
David Bowie released his ninth studio album “Young Americans” on this day in 1975.
It includes a collaboration with John Lennon on “Fame” and “Across the Universe”.
What are your thoughts on this album?

Reform have misspelt 2 out of the 3 Welsh words on their manifesto for Wales.
Nigel Farage and Wales leader Dan Thomas proudly held up the manifesto at the launch yesterday.
On the front cover it reads "Family, community, country," which has been translated to "Teulu, gymnued, wlad."

Very interesting! The Gulf States really are a house of cards
In the ahem now longlost days before the war, I interviewed @snellarthur.bsky.social about his new book on how the climate crisis is upending geopolitics (yes we did talk about the future of Gulf petrostates, which was looking fairly unstable even before this) www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Himes: I have a theory on how this ends…
You’re going to see oil go across $100… Projections for economic growth are going to go down.
And at some point in 3-5 weeks, the president is going to say this is really not tenable. And he’s going to declare victory and walk away.
He seems pretty sensitive whenever someone confronts him with evidence that Putin might not be our friend. Even when Fox brings it up.

Oh yeah???
I’d like to see the wee squirts trying to make me.
In Northern Ireland oil is still the main source of home heating. It’s very lucky this has happened in March when you’re usually able to turn the boiler down to minimum!
This reminds me of the many weird conversations I had with English people, post-Brexit, insisting that the Republic of Ireland would want to rejoin the UK. As if the best solution to every modern problem must be to restore some version of the old British Imperial order. Utterly mental.
They realised he fucked up and she was sent out on clean up duty 🤦♀️
Stock up on cans of beans folks!
