The BBC doesn’t seem to be very keen on interviewing this particular Israeli professor.

@europeanspodcast @commissionerHR
British passports are now being endorsed with passport details for those with dual nationality. This has three effects.
1) there are now two levels of British - pure and not so pure.
2) entering a third country you have no longer a choice of which passport to use when dealing with conflicted countries.
3) it is now easy to deport criminals to their “other” country.

@thecommongreen @gemlog well we are community owners and we get about nine pence perkilowatt hour

@thecommongreen @gemlog can they control the retail price to the customer?

https://www.thenorthstar.com/p/i-dont-think-most-americans-have “We would have wall-to-wall specials for weeks. Not hours. Weeks. We would know every sailor’s name. Their kids’ names. Their hometowns. The sports they played in high school. The prayers their mothers said. There would be vigils. Flyovers. Emergency hearings. Flags everywhere. A national story told with endless empathy.”

“And again: rightly so. Human beings in the water deserve grief, outrage, and accountability—no matter the flag they serve under.”

@gemlog yes I very rarely listen to these kind of things, preferring to speed-read a transcript. But on this occasion I put the earphones in and carried on doing other things.

it is becoming clear that Epstein was at the centre of an incredible multinational web designed to entrap men of influence, compromise them and so control them. And as has been suggested before he worked for more than one country’s secret services, as did his father-in-law Robert Maxwell

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2026/3/5/iran-live-us-senate-backs-trumps-attacks-on-tehran-israel-pounds-lebanon “Others told Al Jazeera that US-Israel bombing campaigns were targeting schools and medical facilities, a reality that has been verified by international bodies such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and independent reporting.”

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cj4zze5lzjpo “Due to the tight security situation in Iran, it is not possible to gauge the overall reaction to death of the supreme leader.
While some took to the streets to celebrate, others took part in public displays of mourning led by government authorities.”

https://newrepublic.com/article/207186/dangerous-incoherence-trump-war-iran “It’s a foreign policy of reckless action and spectacular violence—and no clear strategic objectives beyond creating content for social media.”
Until now it’s always been the oil wars. But this is new.
It’s the Epstein war.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKcXsIofQCY This looks to me like a classic case of FAFO and the US can do absolutely nothing about it.

It has however lessons for :blobcat_flagScotland: Scotland as many transatlantic flights overfly Scotland on the Great Circle route and this income is currently being mopped up by Westminster.

https://apnews.com/article/greenland-trump-denmark-us-b2624bb6ed7d66de874e333779c505fe American sailor is airlifted off a US submarine a mere seven nautical miles off the Greenland coast and taken to hospital in Nuuk, Greenland.

Trump is a big kid and cannot tolerate that another country has rescued one of his sailors, (especially Greenland) so he sends a press release out that he is sending a hospital ship to Greenland.

He really is so petty.

@gemlog @ChrisMayLA6 so how will you send a letter or an invoice? Do you have to put it in a box?

Governments all over the world are beginning to realise that with social media they are no longer able to control the narrative. Look for increasing controls on social media and increasing attempts to censor social media content.

This makes Mastodon hugely important as it falls outwith the control of the government and their billionaire paymasters.

@afewbugs there is already a relaxation around chocolate because most of the chocolate bars sold in the UK should be called sugar bars with chocolate flavour because the majority ingredient is sugar.
When the UK joined the EU, they relaxed the regulations to allow UK chocolate bars to continue to be sold under that name

@Infoseepage do we assume that you are fluent in all these languages or is there a working knowledge of English?
