@DaveWiltse @sbmitche it's not the most fun I've ever had in my life, but again, it's not as bad as much of the Western media is making it out to be. Let's just hope it stays that way!!

@sbmitche @DaveWiltse Thanks, Sara. We're all good (for now, at least). Life in Dubai is pretty normal, with the exception of the occasional "missile/drone attack" alerts we get on our phones. :)

Daily Dubai security brief, but from a different location…

Plus a heartfelt message to the haters at the end 😘

@michealsathiya @itisprashanth That is a) not Dubai and b) a warehouse fire in Sharjah

@Arnold_Platon Try as we did, we were unable to get even a single response from the Luxembourg experts. So, unfortunately, the Great Duchy is left out of this round.

When people used to fail open-book tests in high school, I used to be genuinely confused.

I get it now.

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.
