@chefjoseandres Jose, Spanish Diner really phoning it in tonight. Delivery included no sauces for 3 separate dishes. Love your philanthropy, and dining in your restaurants. Your quality control on delivery is awful. Stop delivering if you can’t follow through.

@GrayConnolly American checking in. For the most part we blasted the Germans to smithereens with our bazillion shells and bombs and didn’t need a brilliant general to lead us. We $$$ the Germans. Patton was a dingdong, Bradley was a fine if uncharismatic officer and Monty had big ears.

Could the drone attack on Iran have been launched from inside Iran? Of course! In fact it's more likely than not. "It's coming from inside the house!" will be a default reality as time goes on pertaining to these concepts. As for Israel, they wrote the book... 1/x

@HistoryBoomer I haven’t had a gas stove in over a decade and I still miss it. They may be bad for you, but electric doesn’t hold a candle to gas.

@rgpoulussen I didn’t realize Breda was liberated by the Poles. Which explains the cool hussar markings on the bike. TIL.

@rgpoulussen Polish hussars on motorcycles?

@MacaesBruno Inane and a misspelling? Take a deep breath and tweet when you have something to say. We like you. No rush.

@MazMHussain If a revolution fails, you have martyrs and heroes, spilled blood and collective suffering. If a revolution succeeds, you have martyrs and heroes, spilled blood and collective suffering. It’s the stuff of romantic mythologizing. Track records are for nerds.

A thread on ‘fatwas’:

A fatwa is a legal ruling delivered by a religious jurist, these days denoted by the rank of Ayatollah or higher. Fatwas are an integral aspect of Shia jurisprudence which operates on the basis of the continuous interpretation of scripture /1
