What concentrates the mind is how outbreaks spread, how governments respond, and how political and humanitarian conditions can shape a crisis long before most of the world hears about it. https://t.co/kwZFD8d2vi
I am not entirely up to speed on what the feature film business in London is like these days, but I do remember a production meeting for 28 Days Later… https://t.co/gUwHRwDxBF
By late morning, the light will be hard and precise. The surface—what remains of it—will not be the smooth, mythic white that people expect, but a kind of broken grey: meltwater channels, soot, wind-scored ridges. https://t.co/u5MfZQqd7V
We are in a transition without settlement, within a system whose direction is visible but whose authors are not. It is unclear who this transition ultimately serves. https://t.co/UvT6Tw7Yi5

In recent days, Donald Trump has used Truth Social to cast the UK in unusually stark terms, folding it into the same narrative of civilisational decline he applies to domestic opponents. Watch the flowers of freedom wilt and slowly die. https://t.co/cpkE9E8qBd
The question is whether Washington is in no rush to restore normal passage on the Strait of Hormuz because disruption has in itself created an advantage for the United States. https://t.co/QglRUxAYYU
Dirt roads. Lonely tracks. Judas trees aching to bloom, buds just beginning to show against the grey branches. Jackals at night, the silence broken only by a few barks from the dog. I haven’t seen the wild boars yet, but some of their damage is evident. https://t.co/dyZza9D1A2
It was yet another wake-up call. One participant spoke quietly about searching for her twenty-year-old son, still missing after months of war. https://t.co/j2aeUj1cI1
