@ZeMourningStar A couple of days back on my way to work, my phone needed to charge so I was checking the radio stations. I found an Israeli radio station … in fucking mokattam.
In easily the biggest news of an Indycar driver signing since Mansell left F1 for Newman Haas at the end of 92, maybe since Foyt decided to race for himself 60 years ago, McLaren has poached 6 time champion, Hall of Famer and candidate for Greatest of All Time Scott Dixon from Ganassi. 2026 Indy 500 winner Felix Rosenqvist will join him alongside Pato O Ward with the objective being to deliver the Indy 500 component of the Triple Crown for Zak Brown.
Both Dixon and Rosenqvist join on multi year deals.
Quite incredibly, the team’s driver of the season and leading points scorer this year has been told his services are no longer required, leaving Christian Lundgaard as the most unexpected and talented free agent imaginable.
The GOAT, leaving the team with whom he was synonymous and with whom he won 6 titles, to help rebuild a storied racing brand… feels strangely familiar.
Türkiye this week inaugurated its new defense headquarters, the “Ay Yıldız” (Crescent and Star) Joint Headquarters in Ankara. The facility is designed to consolidate military command and control functions under one integrated structure within the Turkish Armed Forces.
The concept is broadly comparable in intent to Egypt’s “Octagon” complex in the New Administrative Capital (NAC), which serves as a large-scale centralized headquarters for the Ministry of Defense and Egypt’s broader military command structure. However, the Egyptian facility is significantly larger in scope and scale, forming part of a wider defense command ecosystem rather than a single joint headquarters.
US/Israel will soon attack Iran again in the most vicious way imaginable.
I don’t think they’ll wait until the midterms.
Not even the 60 days of the MOU.
They just needed time to refuel.
Iran, of course, knows this - and is prepared.
The rest of the world? Absolutely fucked.
