Yup, exactly that. I watched some 40 mins yesterday and felt like banging my head on a wall of broken glass.

The exchange about the 5K missing WhatsApp messages was pretty painful to watch.

I’m sure many here will be up for it, and I’m one of them even though I’m as far from an expert as can be. So hit me up if you want a dummy to try it.

Yup. Something that apparently could potentially spoil fresh water from wells for a very long time. And imagine the agony of the rescued hostages knowing that their family members or friends are down in those tunnels... https://www.timesofisrael.com/flooding-hamas-tunnels-could-harm-gazas-freshwater-for-generations-warns-academic/

Voting results in Venezuela appear to always be whatever Maduro wants. Maybe that's another reason why Trump wants to invade, Maduro managed to achieve what Trump couldn't.

Hey @Spockydog in case you missed Stephen Flynn at PMQs today.

Well, if Trump wins we will definitely see “unconventional methods” all over the place, but maybe that won’t play out the way many of his supporters think it will. And by the time they realise it, it will be too late.

Yeah, I don't think he'd pick her or at least not as his first choice. But the possibilities for total insanity on the ticket as vp abound, but the craziest and most dangerous may be Lake? I may be and possibly am wrong, but she strikes me as crazier and more dangerous than most.

Sure looks that way - at least for me, from the outside. What I can't figure out at this point is whether she would accept to run as Trump's VP. She was mildly critical of him a few times in those debates, but at the same time she raised her hand to the question, "if elected would you pardon Trump?". So looks like it could go either way, and that's IF he tries to get her on-board. Since my view of her is the same as yours, right now I'd say she'd accept it and then pray day and night for all those big macs to do their job double quick.

I didn't think it was that bad? I mean, as I said, not great but watchable, even if mostly to wonder what the hell is Malcovich trying to do w/ whatever that accentt is. But since I seem to be on a roll, I found a more interesting one, with Bill Nighy <3 Anna Chancellor and many more! https://g.co/kgs/Re2JCx

Bit of a broad brush there to paint the whole population of a country with, no? I can't speak for a whole population but none of my Irish friends fit your description, for lack of a better word. And yes, there is a lot of support for Palestine in Ireland. I wonder why? https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/books/winston-churchill-sent-the-black-and-tans-to-palestine-1.3089140

@TrueMetis, some good explanations and insights here:

Yeah, that’s my take as well. By itself it may not mean much, but I just read that this is the first sanction the US has imposed on Israel since the 90s? Also these things don’t tend to go from zero to 1,000 in the blink of an eye, especially between steadfast allies. It feels like a warning shot maybe? I don’t know, a way of publicly saying decisions have consequences using a wee bit more than just words.

Almost didn’t see this, you tagged someone else! No, I don’t think Bran had anything to do w/ the letter, but I’m one of those boring af people who think Ramsay did write the letter. The letter has “mysteries” in it but imo its authorship is not one of them. I do think the tricky part is deciphering what is actual fact, what is deliberate lie, what is unwitting misinformation. As to Asha telling Stannis to chop off Theon’s head instead of burning him, yeah, my guess is she’s doing it to try to spare him the hideous pain of immolation but it works really well as a means to get Theon near the weirwood and well, you know the rest. ETA: sorry, realised I didn't answer the question. The timeline works, meaning, the timeline would allow for Bran to have "contributed" in writing the PL, I don't think he did though.
