‘Knee-jerk Israel bashers’, ‘revolting demos’
The choice photos: Arab unreasonable, aggressive,

Timothy Snyder was correct with his first guess regarding what this mass gathering might be about.

I was admiring the style and texture of this expensive (branded) jacket at an outlet store, but with 70% discount.
Then I noticed the stitching right of the pocket and vaguely recalled something you may have said: that this is a sign of cost cutting. Am I right?

2 of the most important, harrowing and instructive books I’ve read recently.
@timothysnyder.bsky.social‘s On Tyranny is short enough to be serialised in a daily newspaper.
Let’s stop thinking progressive liberal democracies are somehow the natural order, inevitable. They need to be defended.

I’m a fan of the US; it’s can-do attitude, its innovations, its openness, its institutions, the talent it has produced, and much else besides, but I’m genuinely concerned about how much of what made it great will be recognisable in 3 years.

There’s something deeply disturbing about an Israeli government that pays to have ads on YouTube to tell the world things in Gaza aren’t that bad.

Bibi, nearly 30 years ago. He looks about the same age now as he did then. Seems he’s been in his 70s since 1996.

I used to subscribe to Stratfor for geopolitical updates. Good, but quite pricey & from event to analysis often took a bit of time
Currently enjoying Lawrence’s insights; informative, frequent, sober, & a rolling narrative

Thanks for your valuable input.
It’s just that posts aren’t always true to the actual story.

If you get the chance, I recommend cage diving, ideally with a conservationist company like Marine Dynamics which is helping the endangered Cape Penguin.
Few Great Whites in SA now (due to orcas), but you’ll still get to see cool animals like seals, short-tailed stingrays, and the copper shark 🦈

Nice one. I got in via my Irish roots. My father’s from Northern Ireland, so according to the Irish gov I’ve been an Irish citizen all along - the gov just asserts that I’m Irish. I can live with that 🇬🇧 ->🇮🇪 ->🇪🇺 -> 😊

Shark cage diving tomorrow, so if I don’t post for a while maybe check the local news 😬 🙈
