Applebaum: Trump clearly did not expect the Iran war to last this long. He seems to have imagined it would be easy.

If people in the room told him otherwise, he ignored them. He knows very little about Iran and even seemed surprised by Hormuz and Iranian strikes. 1/
Applebaum: People around the world now read news from Washington by first asking whether it is real.

Trump helped create that post-reality world by nurturing conspiracy theories and undermining trust in media. That is a classic authoritarian tactic. 2/
Applebaum: This is a war Trump does not want to think about.

He keeps looking for somebody else to blame and even decided to blame Europeans, who did not start the war, were not consulted about it, and have very little ability to end it. 3/

1 of the top stupid takes by geo-political "strategist"
1. This is not new posturing by previously non-aligned Nepal. Pro-China KPS Oli had same territory included in map via constitutional amendment passed unanimously in 2020 - far more symbolic weight than a stupid statement.
The only way Nepal can irritate or blackmail India is by joining China & posing serious threat to our national security. The pass was opened for trade & pilgrimage by mutual agreement of India & China & these are only 2 parties who can stop it.
US knows this very well that there is nothing Nepal can do about it. So what the F**k will US gain by making Nepal release such statement? The pass gets closed magically? Nepal sends army wrest it from Indian? 😂🤣

A new large cohort study in Frontiers in Medicine looked at people who developed shingles after COVID-19.
Could shingles after COVID be more than just a painful rash - with possible links to later blood-cancer risk?🧵
The authors used the TriNetX global health network - electronic health records from more than 140 healthcare organizations.
They compared COVID-19 survivors who developed shingles within 1 year with COVID-19 survivors who did not.
After matching, the study compared roughly 29,270 people in each group.
The follow-up 3 years.
The authors were not only looking at short-term symptoms, but later infectious and blood-related outcomes.

Todd I just broke down exactly what @jamesonhaslam did to build west.coast.deck to 31K followers on a deck building Instagram.👀👀

Here's how to run the same playbook for Llewellyn Plumbing and get from 1,500 to 10K followers by December.
Step 1. Build a brand identity that sticks.

Jameson didn't call himself "Haslam Decks." He built "West Coast Deck" with the tagline "big deck energy" and "on a mission to build the greatest."

THAT IS SOME FIRE BRANDING

You need your version. Something like "Provo's most reliable plumber" or "the plumber your neighbors already called."

Pick a phrase. Put it in your bio. Use it in every video. Say it out loud on camera.

Repetition builds brand.

When people in Provo hear that phrase they should think of your face.
Step 2. Your bio needs to work in 2 seconds.

Jameson's bio is clean. Name. What he does. Where. Link. Nothing extra.

Yours should be:

Todd Llewellyn
Llewellyn Plumbing
Provo, UT. Same day service. We show up when we say we will.
[Link to booking page]

Don't link your homepage. Link your booking page. Every profile visitor should be one tap from becoming a customer.

If you don't have an online booking page set one up this week. That single change will generate calls.

(MAKE A DYNAMIC BOOKING PAGE FOR IG ONLY)

We will do this for you just let us know in slack !!

The US, EU, Turkey and China all now compete with Russia for control over the Caucasus.

Armenia and Azerbaijan just ended a decades-long war, and that peace opened new energy and trade routes through the narrow strip linking Europe and Asia. — Bloomberg.

1/ Image
The US secured exclusive rights to develop the TRIPP corridor — a rail and road route across Armenia's south connecting Azerbaijan with its exclave of Nakhchivan.

The agreement extends to oil and gas pipelines and fiber optic networks for 99 years.

2/
The EU plans to strike a connectivity partnership with Armenia — a potential funding package of up to €2.5 billion.

The first-ever EU-Armenia summit takes place Tuesday. Armenia applied for EU membership last year.

A group of five Ukrainian hackers tricked 2500 Russians into revealing their location — The Times.

They created a bot that posed as a group of cybercriminals. Russians asked to add their Starlinks to the database as Ukrainian. In exchange, they gave their crypto wallet.

1/
“Fucking Ukrainians, you are liars! Always find a way to take money. You are worse then Jews” — a Russian soldier after he was told that he was scammed by Ukrainian military.

After getting the wallet, the hacker group always revealed themselves to demmoralize Russians.

2/
Ukrainian hacker: Sometimes we create images of girls with AI and pretend to be them while talking to Russians on the frontline and recieve information from them.

This group also gained access to the location of Russian arms factories which were struck later.

West Scotland

Constituencies:
West Scotland will be one of the battlegrounds for Labour and the SNP. The other big story will be if the Conservative list vote collapses as some pundits indicate.
Clydebank and Milngavie
Claire Gallagher - Scottish Common Party
Ben Langmead - Liberal Democrats
Alix Mathieson - Conservative and Unionist Party
Marie A McNair - Scottish National Party (SNP)
Callum McNally - Labour Party
Andy White - Reform UK

A surge from Reform may ensure that McNair is safe
Cunninghame North
Ian Gibson - Alliance for Democracy and Freedom
Kenneth Gibson - Scottish National Party (SNP)
Mike Mann - Reform UK
Matthew McGowan - Labour Party
Christine Margaret Murdoch - Liberal Democrats
Ronnie Stalker - Conservative and Unionist Party

Kenny Gibson has been one of the most independently minded MSPs. He rebelled on GRR and on the Unbuyable Bill. He should hold comfortably & we would be very happy to see him back.

I'm 55.

If you're in your 30s or 40s, read this:

1. Marriage won’t fix loneliness. Neither will kids, money, or sex.
2. If you don’t know who you are alone, every relationship will confuse the hell out of you.

3. You’re not late. You’re not early. You’re not missing a bus, a window, or a train. Your timeline is yours alone.
4. In ten years, your friend list will look nothing like today. Your best friend at 30 may be a stranger at 40. That's normal.

5. Don’t put off starting that business. The people you think are “too young” are building empires while you’re hesitating.

South Scotland

Constituencies:
South Scotland contains the “blue wall” along the border, in recent years, the Conservatives have enjoyed good results here and now Reform will be hoping to make gains. South Scotland has seen a significant boundary change since 2021: East Lothian has gone and two central belt seats - East Kilbride and Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse - are in. The latter are relatively urban seats in a largely rural region and more likely to lean SNP/Lab
Ayr
Siobhian Brown - Scottish National Party (SNP)
Desmond Buchanan - Liberal Democrats
Sharon Dowey - Conservative and Unionist Party
Brian McGinley - Labour Party
Andrew Fleming Russell - Reform UK
Denise Sommerville - Independent
Muhammad Tufail - Scottish Common Party

Brown had several car crash interviews over hate crime and was ill-equipped to fill the ministerial shoes of Ash Regan. She was handed the poisoned chalice brief of objecting to the unbuyable bill. Brown took Ayr with a wafer thin majority over John Scott (battling health issues) in 2021. The conservatives could retake it if Reform don’t spoil the party.
Carrick, Cumnock and Doon Valley
Jack Clark - Liberal Democrats
Tracey Clark - Conservative and Unionist Party
Sean Davis - Independent
Katie Hagmann - Scottish National Party (SNP)
Alison Hewett - Independent
Carol Ann Mochan - Labour Party
Andrew Scott - Reform UK

Labour are the stronger rivals to SNP in this seat, which is losing MSP Elena Whitham. Labour’s @CMochan voted against the GRR and is a thoughtful advocate for wider women’s rights with a special interest in women’s health.

Hermes Agent now has multi-agent via the Kanban, new in v0.12.0.

Agents claim tasks from a board, work in parallel, and hand off when blocked. You watch progress and unblock from one easy view instead of juggling terminals.

We asked it to plan and make this video about itself:
Features

- Multi-agent: each task runs on a specialized profile, with its own tools, skills, and personality.
- Linked tasks: parent → child dependencies. Fan out work, gather results, continue.
- Shared workspaces: agents hand off files through a directory, a git worktree, or a temp scratch space.
- Live dashboard: watch the team work in real time.
- Comments per task: humans and agents both write. The next agent picking up the task reads the full thread.
- Skills built in: a planner (kanban-orchestrator) and a worker (kanban-worker) ship by default. Pin a domain skill per task to load expertise.
- Durable: SQLite-backed. Survives crashes, restarts, and reboots.
- No double-claims: when many agents compete for the next task, only one wins.
- Heartbeats + runtime caps: long jobs stay alive, runaways get killed.
- Project isolation: run multiple projects on one machine without crosstalk.
