Asra is a very impressive young woman with a powerful story to tell. I am a trustee of the charity featured in her film, founded to honour the memory of my friend Andy by helping people with no connections or privilege get a break in the media. Do watch it if you can. youtu.be/Stlz6CEXRGA?...
I often come across its pieces at exhibitions.
The Mezhyhirya faience factory (1798–1874),
founded near Kyiv on the site of the former Mezhyhirya Monastery,
became one of the first and most important centers of fine faience and porcelain in Ukraine.
Comment from me: Russia and Iran remain allies, Russia most likely supplies drones and intelligence information to Iran. Thus, Russia is working directly against the United States. Lifting sanctions on Russian oil only encourages Russia.
Yes, and I have a "complicated relationship" with quantum physics. In the sense that, like Donald and the Bible, I've never studied it and have no understanding of it.

Just a selection from the last 2 days. Reform is a disturbingly inadequate and racist political outfit. This ugly collection of prejudiced malfunctioning ghouls would wreak utter havoc on the country, just as they are in every council that voters were stupid enough to let them get their hands on.
Imagine how much money we’ve wasted. Imagine how much could have gone into the NHS, public services, tackling poverty…
Will anyone be held responsible though? For the lies that were told, the false promises made?
Perhaps a brexit tax on all the corporations that cashed in?
I’M SO CROSS!
trump kills hundreds to get the same President Obama deal he started the 'excursion" for. He is highlighting Obamas legacy as one of the greatest Presidents in the history of the US and is too stupid to realize it
Obama's nuclear deal had the Iranians not developing nuclear capability for 15 years (maybe longer).
And why would Iran agree to this, when they are winning?
DT could have a saved a lot of money, lives, and energy by not ripping up the original agreement, which was being successfully enforced and did essentially what he is asking for now. What an idiot.
Trump is so jealous of Obama's intelligence, character and reputation.
Oh.
So they want Obama’s nuclear deal minus Obama’s signature.
Got it.
This morning, I was at Pearl’s Bagels eating a bagel and lox, chatting with the lady behind me about the war. Her three-year-old chimed in and said that Trump was vastly underestimating the geopolitical consequences that will reverberate from another war in the Middle East.
Trump’s War With Iran Is a Product of His Deep Stupidity
There’s a simple and obvious reason we’re in this mess.

And they keep talking about meritocracy.
Brexit: So much work. So much time. So many resources. So much red tape. And yet so little progress. In fact, just relentless loss, risk and failure. It’s so mind-numbingly tedious.
And no one who did this damage is ever held to account. But god they make a fuss about fixing it.
The UK has lost an entire decade of political and civil service resources wasting their time orchestrating the Brexit disaster. We could have been focused on the real challenges we face as a nation. We could have got ahead of the challenges posed by AI and climate change. It's utterly criminal.

Why do we always hear about immigrants taking jobs when the oligarchs are actually to blame?
Tweet by Acyn quoting Rep. Maxwell Frost criticizing Pam Bondi for refusing to testify under oath, saying lawmakers do not trust her. The image shows Frost speaking at a press conference with other lawmakers behind him, with a news banner referencing an Epstein briefing.
Bondi is trying to get out from under her deposition by providing a non-sworn “briefing” where Dems don't even get to ask questions. She's continuing to cover for pedophiles. Per her under oath!
Great opening par.
"The Trump administration, which definitely carefully planned its war on Iran and thought through all the potential implications, seems to be getting increasingly worried about the completely unforeseeable rise in gas prices." www.ft.com/content/2b00...
The pro-Israel, crypto, and AI lobbies have spent $21M+ to influence tomorrow's Illinois primary via innocuously-named Super PACs like "Elect Chicago Women".
Not a single one of their ads mentions Israel, crypto, or AI.
Citizens United is corrupting our system every day.
More attention could be paid to the fact that if Farage had been PM instead of Starmer, the UK would have gone gung ho into the war alongside the US, supported by the right wing media who are now going ballistic about animals on bank notes as their main preoccupation.
They voted for a racist who would be nasty to foreigners and that's what they got. They didn't care about any of the other stuff.
As always, Trump is convinced he knows more about everything than all the experts, then refuses to take responsibility for the consequences when the experts turn out to be right.
