An early wake-up today for our train journey from London to Luxembourg.

The first leg was on the @eurostarnews.bsky.social, followed by a short stopover and station change in Paris- then off we go!

Time for an #echofirst quiz:

How many cusps does this aortic valve have?

(Answer and specimen will follow...)

Απο αυτό το δευτερόλεπτο και μετά, οφείλεις -ως κράτος λέμε τώρα, ως κυβέρνηση, ως υπεύθυνος- να μην πιστέψεις ΟΥΤΕ ΜΙΑ ΛΕΞΗ από αυτά που λέει το λιμενικό. Οφείλεις -ως κράτος λέμε τώρα, ως κυβέρνηση, ως υπεύθυνος- να αμφισβητήσεις ΤΑ ΠΑΝΤΑ.

It's just ultimately REALLY unconvincing for the prime minister to run with a "I knew he was friends with a paedophile, but I didn't know they were BEST friends 😔" line

Spanish PM Sánchez: The owner of X, himself a migrant, used his personal account to amplify disinformation about the sovereign decision of my government to regularize 500,000 migrants who live, work, and contribute to the success of our country.

Starmer has serious questions to answer about what his government knew, and when, about Mandelson's Epstein ties. Shocking that this man was made ambassador - he should have no role in public life. And we absolutely need a police enquiry into leaks.

At last, the career of this devious and abhorrent person seems destined to end exactly as it should—marked by ignominy, humiliation, and entanglement with the law.

It's time now for the Government to put forward legislation to strip Peter Mandelson of his peerage.

It's the very least they can do for the victims and survivors of his friend Jeffrey Epstein. If Mandelson has any shame left, he'll retire from the House of Lords today.

New Epstein emails show Peter Mandelson secretly advising JPMorgan’s CEO on how to fight Labour’s 2009 bankers’ bonus tax - even suggesting he “mildly threaten” the Chancellor.

Mandelson was Business Secretary at the time.

A year later, he was seeking work with JPM.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

A brief detour from my usual history reading led me to @jonathancoe.bsky.social's latest, randomly picked up during a bookstore foray.

Turned out to be a fast-paced, sarcastic, and intricately plotted blend of crime fiction and modern British politics.

Worth a read.

It’s very painful to see the mainstreaming of truth-telling as division-stirring.
The line of questioning is so horrendous I could hardly bear to finish watching this short clip but I’m glad I did manage to get to Zack’s sharp answer.
#bbclaurak asks @zackpolanski.bsky.social, doesn't opposing genocide stir up division?

Whenever the Gaza Health Ministry was cited they were called 'the Hamas-run Health Ministry' to make us all doubt the numbers. Now even Israel accepts the official death toll, because that's how confident Netanyahu is that he'll face no consequences.

The real death toll is, obviously, much higher.

Bruce Springsteen’s “Streets of Minneapolis” calls back to protest music’s glory days, Spencer Kornhaber writes—and though the Boss has sounded bitter and mournful before, he has never sounded “this purely angry”:
Rage in the U.S.A.
Bruce Springsteen has never sounded angrier than on his new song, “Streets of Minneapolis.”

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
