We like infographics. Not sure where @dhadelli gets his numbers or what date these are from. There is only one functioning gunship in Haftar's forces. But this is a start.
Estimate of LNA estimate wildly. Common sense: How much does each fighter get paid, how many meals? How deep or long the support and cash network to keep them in the field?. Libyan militias are surprising cheap. Logistics crap. Most have meals delivered to them in the field.
Plenty of papers on the LNA all need to be viewed with some skepticism. Until you see payroll or accounting figures. ispionline.it/it/pubblicazio…

I want to be a technical advisor when they make the Libya war films. Either me or a bored 14-year old.
"85,000" LNA troops? Mmmkay..I'm going to need those TPS reports and I'm also going to need you to go ahead and come in on Sunday, too. ...
I used to post a video of an ISIS commander who had his people roll and fire a PKM. That's was seriously 12 year old cool. He's dead now.

Digging around the @ONS MQ5 dataset, thought I’d share 4 UK pension charts. First up, employer contributions to funded pension schemes still overwhelm employee contributions 1/4
Beneath the surface though DB normal contributions on a secular decline, with one-off Employer contributions huge and lumpy. DC contributions on the march (and can be expected to jump this April!) 2/4
When we ask who is contributing what (ex-special) we can see that aggregate contributions to schemes are on the rise as a % of GDP. 3/4

One thing that would have helped me come out sooner was having access to language. I didn't know about non binary, genderfluid, agender, etc. My whole understanding of transgender was a boy who wants to be a girl or a girl who wants to be a boy. #SolidariT
I think it was being 'born in the wrong body'. I knew I was bisexual since I was 12 because I read the word bisexual in a magazine and something clicked inside me. Imagine if I had read the word non-binary, what kind of teenhood I could have had? #SolidariT
I came out after I finished secondary school because I was already bullied for being 'weird' and 'different'. My reasoning was I didn't want to give them another reason to bully me. There was only about 3 out people in my year, none of them were trans. #SolidariT

One way or another a British prime minister will sign the NI backstop. Either it will be May as part of a negotiated exit deal or by someone else after we crash out when the EU is calling all the shots and demanding all its own terms.

#Brexit
Should we crash out then if even half of no deal warnings are true (and there is plenty evidence to suggest they are) then UK has zero leverage of any kind and will simply have to concede to whatever the EU puts on the table just to reopen talks - as no deal cannot stay no deal.
There is really no way to avoid a backstop of some sort. A review clause is the best we can hope for. The best strategy is to sign it then make damn sure it never gets activated by joining Efta and retaining the EEA. The remaining issues are then far simpler to resolve.

One of the questions we get asked most often is, “What happens if a dog doesn’t want to pull?”
What if they don’t wanna run across the horizon...
...and would rather chill on the couch?

One of the strange things about chronic pain is that you start feeling that you don’t have a right to experience pain at all.
For example, I woke up this morning with multiple dislocated joints. My shoulder, an elbow, a rib, & both my knees had all slipped out of place in my sleep. Do you know what I did?
I went to work.
