Lord Uxbridge (hit by a cannon ball at the battle of Waterloo): By God, I've lost my leg.
Duke of Wellington: By God, Sir, so you have.
Surely the greatest exchange in British military history.
@BrusselsAirport@BeatrixShoshan You do realise this is utterly deranged right? And does not help the reputation of BRU as a low quality low tier airport in the slightest?
Just a reminder that the one person uniquely critical to winning at Midway used to wear a bathrobe and his slippers with his khakis and didn’t bathe for days while cracking Japanese codes in a basement. Dismissed as a weirdo by Navy leadership of his day. One of our best.

The IMF issuing a statement to reassure the public that bond markets are "functioning in an orderly manner" is highly unusual—and risks raising more questions than it answers.

@superboekhouder@FredericDeGucht Uitgaven zijn uitgaven toch, Antwerpse snelweg of niet? Fair zou zijn onderscheid te maken tussen investeringen en lopende uitgaven, dat wel.
For more than two months, I have been working on a truly horrific story about one of the gravest war crimes committed by the United States since Vietnam: The bombing of the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab, Iran. It was one of the first targets struck in the opening hours of the war on February 28, 2026.
At least 156 people were killed in the U.S. cruise missile strikes—120 of them were children and 26 were teachers. We spoke to survivors, first responders, parents, doctors, teachers, psychologists, and other witnesses. Some of them had never before shared their experiences of that day.
It would be impossible to do justice to what happened in Minab that day with words alone. In more than 25 years in journalism and reporting on war, I do not believe I have reported on a more heinous single crime.
