A drug-addled South African rocket maker plotting regime change in Britain is very Brosnan-era Bond, isn’t it?

For New Lines Magazine: I spent a week and a half with Ukraine's elite Third Assault Brigade, the largest and one of the most effective fighting forces within the Ukrainian military, and not coincidently, one of the least 'Soviet'.
With @MichaelDWeiss.

Found a 50 year old Rupert the Bear annual on the charity bookshelf at Barrow-in-Furness railway station. Steady on, Rupert.

Remember when Luigi Mangione's identity was uncovered, everyone saw his twitter and realized he was actually some right-wing tech bro, and two days later the left went back to hailing him as a hero like none of it ever happened

Mesmerising performance from @LukeTheNuke180 to win the World Darts Championship.
Congratulations Luke on being the youngest ever PDC World Darts Champion. An inspirational performance under such pressure to lift the trophy.
You should be really proud of what you've achieved tonight, not just for yourself but for the sport of darts as a whole.

Madrid’s metro was 71 miles long in 1995. That would be the world’s 51st longest today, reasonable considering Madrid is the 57th largest city by population.
Yet over 12 years, the metro would ~3x in length at costs much lower than was thought possible. Here’s how they did it🧵

Does anyone remember this effort to lift sanctions on the Assad regime? Forgive the useful idiots but remember these names.

Once upon a time, Leeds had trams, lots of them. They helped people get to work, come to the centre to shops and to meet each other for work and play. But then, catastrophically, for the city's long term future and prosperity in 1959....

The British Left are anti-fascist right up until it requires confronting fascist Russia, at which point they all become Neville Chamberlain.

An angrier response to Britain sending missiles to Ukraine than we got when Russia sent assassins to murder British citizens on British soil
The Prime Minister should make a statement to Parliament, immediately, to confirm whether UK missiles have been fired into Russia.
He must tell the British public if this means we are now at war with a nuclear power, what risk this poses to people in Britain, and why this action was taken without any approval from Parliament.
I have consistently condemned Russia for its invasion of Ukraine and called for a diplomatic solution to stop the endless bloodshed.
As we edge closer and closer to catastrophe, we should be doing everything in our power to bring about de-escalation and peace. Instead, our political leaders have added fuel to the fire and gambled with people’s lives for political gain.
Presidents and Prime Ministers must know that in the event of nuclear war, nobody wins.
I’m not interested in bombs. I’m interested in peace – and I will continue to campaign for peace in Ukraine, Gaza, Yemen, Sudan, the DRC and beyond.

Remember when Argentina used French Exocet anti-ship missiles to sink British warships during the Falklands War which inevitably led to the great Anglo-French war of 1983?

Crucial context for people who don’t follow European football.
The attacks against Israeli supporters today in Amsterdam have nothing to do with football.
The supporters of Ajax Amsterdam are called the “Super Jews” and have had great relations with all Israeli teams for decades.
Havila Naga is one of the songs their supporters often sing at their home stadium.
This video shows ethnic Dutch Ajax supporters partying with the supporters of Maccabi Tel Aviv ahead of yesterday’s game between the two teams.
The violent attacks against Maccabi Tel Aviv supports were carried out by mobs of migrants from North Africa and the Middle East. They were solely motivated by their hatred against Jews and the frenzied hatred whipped up against the Jews in Arab social media before and after the October 7th Massacre.
The attacks against Jews in Amsterdam are a result of decades of headless immigration policies in Western Europe.
