We were invaded by dragons last night - well, a lesser spotted newt either managed to get 200 yards from the nearest stream or was brought along from somewhere to expire in our garage. I've never seen one before.

Fascinating short thread about Argentine Signt taking advantage of a UK exercise in the Falklands in 1988 to build an Elint Order of Battle.

Linguistic question: why has the American locution “calls out” replaced “denounces”? The Norman-English “denounce” is much clearer. Anything can be “called out” - from a winning raffle ticket to the name of a loved-one at a deathbed.

Labour leader Ivana Bacik: "It's certainly not helpful to hear Govt ministers appearing to scapegoat migrants, but nor is it helpful to hear the biggest opposition party buying into the same political rhetoric." She accuses SF's Doherty of "singling out" Ukrainians in the Dáil.
