Meet the destroyer HMS Glowworm. In April 1940 she was forced to fight the German Heavy Cruiser Admiral Hipper, ten times her size, and Hipper's destroyer escorts.
Her extraordinary last stand earned her captain the first Victoria Cross of WW2. In part because THE GERMANS nominated him for one /1 🧵

This exchange between Trump and Jerome Powell is like a TV sitcom.
Trump quotes a new figure for the renovations at the Fed. Powell shakes his head. Trump shows him the paper and says "it just came out." Powell explains that Trump added an irrelevant building... that was built five years ago.

The people of Gaza deserve to have secure lives free of both Hamas & Israel
Over the last 15 years, the people of Gaza have protested against Hamas but were brutally shut down.
Hamas maintained control with the help of Netanyahu (even Israeli papers admit this)

For years, Netanyahu propped up Hamas. Now it’s blown up in our faces
The premier's policy of treating the terror group as a partner, at the expense of Abbas and Palestinian statehood, has resulted in wounds that will take Israel years to heal from

It is actually a great graph. It shows mortality due to COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2 RNA in wastewater. See how they track during the initial years, and how this radically changed mid-2022: Viral waves and COVID-19 deaths became largely disconnected.
