Israel Hamas War the Widening Middle East Conflict
Pope Leo XIV has renewed his call for a Gaza ceasefire after three people sheltering in the Catholic church in Gaza City were killed in an Israeli strike. A telegram said the Pope was "deeply saddened to learn of the loss of life and injury caused by the military attack" on the Holy Family Church. The Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem, which oversees the church, said it was "struck by the Israeli army". Nine other people were wounded, one of whom is in a critical condition in hospital. The parish priest was lightly injured. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8xvnlpx2dxo -

Trump's Uncle, Bombers, and Big Headed Baloney: MAGA's Gone Full Cartoon
So I’m sat there with me feet up, munchin’ on some spicy pork skins from 7-Eleven, doom scrollin’ through me phone, when I nearly choke on a chili flake. Donald Trump, yeah, the guy with the vein problems in his legs, was at a tech summit in Pennsylvania, wafflin’ on about how his uncle, some geezer named Dr. John Trump, taught the bloody Unabomber at MIT. You what, mate? Did I fall asleep and wake up in a Looney Tunes sketch? First off, couple facts for the slow kids in the room. Uncle Johnny carked it in 1985, yeah? Kaczynski, the Unabomber nutter, was off the rails in the late seventies and only got nabbed in 1996. So unless the bloke was teachin’ from the afterlife, I’m callin’ full blown bullsh*t on this one. Second, Ted Kaczynski never set foot in MIT. Did Harvard, did Michigan, taught in California, but MIT? Nah. Not a chance, mate. Closest he got to MIT was probably readin’ the name on a packet of biscuits. And then, just for a laugh, Trump goes on to say his uncle was the longest servin’ professor at MIT. Turns out, that’s bloody cobblers too. He was there a while, fair play, but not some immortal Yoda of science, not by a mile. Now, don’t get me wrong lads, I ain’t got a dog in Yankee politics, but Christ almighty mate, what is it with these politicians and makin’ up absolute fairy tales about their families? One minute it’s “my uncle discovered electricity,” next it’ll be “my great gran taught Bruce Lee kung fu in her garden shed.” Honestly, you couldn’t script this nonsense. Makes me wonder if the poor sod even believes half the guff comin’ out his own gob, or if he’s just freewheelin’ through life like one of them Pattaya blokes who reckons he was a spy for MI6 but can’t even spell embassy. Anyway, that’s your global leadership update for the day. Blokes runnin’ countries out here talkin’ bigger porkies than a Soi Cowboy bar girl tryin' to get you to bar-fine her. No wonder we all buggered off to Thailand. Life’s simpler when the biggest lie you hear is, “I love you long time.” -

Updates and events in the War in Ukraine 2025
A pair of Ukraine-supporting hacktivist groups have reportedly claimed responsibility for a cyberattack on a major supplier of drones to Russia's military called Gaskar Group. The group stated that the attack was a joint effort among its members, another group known as the Ukrainian Cyber Alliance, and Ukraine's military intelligence agency. This collaborative effort allowed the groups "to capture the entire network and server infrastructure of Gaskar Group," BO Team said, and "collect valuable information about manufactured and prospective UAVs with the subsequent destruction of information and disabling this infrastructure." Ukrainian hackers say they compromised a major Russian drone company, destroying data, backups, and systems- 1
