@Ryanair great time boarding your service FR 5733 today only to be robbed of 75€ for “oversize luggage”. Full rights denial and threats to deny boarding included. Your employee refused to provide identification or escalate to a manager. Appalling experience. Shame on you!
@AirCanada brilliant experience still missing my luggage 36 hours into my trip from MXP to LAS. No information, just a promise to deliver it “sometime soon”.
“Earlier, Witkoff and Dmitriev had lunch at a Michelin-starred Moscow restaurant, where they dined on caviar, quail, venison and crab, the restaurant’s director, Maxim Romantsev, told Russia’s Izvestia newspaper.” This is what I’d define as @TheRestHistory moment!
@Keir_Starmer has just made the biggest change to UK law to protect the country from illegal immigration. That’s why the right-wing populists will now rage and protest: their magic thinking policies shattered by simple and common sense approach.
I would like to be proved wrong by reality.
I think that today’s summit is a sham and a hoax. Putin is doing it as a PR stunt for his own people. To show he tried.
I expect it to turn out a complete nothingburger followed by a steep escalation in Russia’s aggression.
So if Trump has to resign because of the Epstein Files fallout, it’ll expedite Vance’s rise to the presidency. Are we sure we want this to happen? Are we sure someone isn’t pushing for exactly this very outcome?
@dcsandbrook@TheRestHistory A pure joy! Top notch drama between Dante and Machiavelli! BTW: the bell in Florence is named after cows because in Italy it’s quite common even today to fit cows with big bells so that you can hear the heard coming your way.
@Baddiel Actually I wouldn’t know who hates secular Jews more these days - European antisemites or Israeli far-right currently at the helm. And - fun fact - some of the European antisemites are actually friends with the Israeli far right. What a weird world…
