A maniacal US President orders a cover up of the destruction of the Guantanamo Bay detention center by a tsunami, with the death of all prisoners.

In 1918 Spanish flu killed more people than WWI.
Clacton has filed a missing person report for its MP.
Send Palantir packing.
“I expect to be bombing ‘cause that would be a better attitude,” says Trump, the ‘peacemaker President’.
If Starmer resigns will they give Mandleson a second crack at vetting and bring him in as interim Prime Minister if he passes?
Just when everyone should be talking about Cuba I've finished my latest novel #CubaLibre.
US sanctions and environmental collapse have brought Cuba to its knees. A cryptocurrency craze is sweeping the island promising salvation. But nothing is what it seems. Get it here amzn.eu/d/0gTuwtnB

87m is a mind-boggling number. We talk blandly about defence budgets like there's no alternative to fighting might with might.
Perspective is welcome.
87 million lives. That's the horrifying true cost of Trump's crazed war against Iran.

Good sense prevails. They already won the battle of the chargers.
Tragedy
“Palantir’s manifesto, which embraces AI state surveillance of citizens along with national service in the USA, is either a parody of a RoboCop film, or a disturbing narcissistic rant from an arrogant organisation,” said Martin Wrigley, a Lib Dem MP & member of the HofC science & technology SC
Thanks Jamie. I don't know 'Cuba and the Night' - I'll have to take a look. I believe what's happening in Cuba today is a tragedy.
Do enjoy the book, and I'd love to hear what you think.
The CEO of Palantir seems like a sane, compassionate individual who can be trusted with UK government contracts.
Send Palantir packing. What are we doing even entertaining the prospect of allowing this company access to our data in the UK?

In the UK we should eat more venison as a sustainable, lean alternative to beef. There are no predators, which means the population of deer is out of control. People are squeamish here because of Disney's Bambi.

At last: an explanation of the Iran not-war that anyone can understand.

Mark Carney: will he ever stop talking good sense?
Trump admits his "working class" moments for the cameras were all staged. He calls the photo ops "a little bit tacky" and "embarrassing” - which is ironic since Trump is so tacky and embarrassing all the time. All the rich do is lie to workers. That’s America.
Where Trump is right now.

That's good. It's an odd development that AI, which is intended to emulate human writing, is causing writers to alter the manner in which they write to differentiate themselves, which in turn AI will inevitably copy.
I'm sorry, Rosie. And even if Trump were impeached he'd be replaced by Vance, who is little better. The whole lot of them need to be in a federal penitentiary.
AI is already stifling talent. Authors are writing differently to avoid comparisons with AI. Metaphors and em-dashes are being abandoned. Mia Ballard had her book withdrawn by Hachette over unfounded accusations. Where does that leave talent?

You are right on both counts.
The worry is that government militia to which you refer (ICE?) may act like some pretorian guard to prevent the overthrow of Trump. ICE was sent to Italy to act as Vance's bodyguard for the winter olympics. I was shocked.
