Morocco vs Algeria is low key one of the pettiest and most persistent geopolitical beefs. Algeria supports the Western Sahara independence movement against Morocco, and the two counties fought the Sand War over, well, mostly sand.
It turns out the government of Morocco itself likely started the rumor that Spain had opened the border, and that people would be given work and transportation. Apparently as retaliation for Spain's courting of Algeria, knowing the far right would go into hysterics. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/01/w...

Just saw The Odyssey. Casting Matt Damon as Leopold Bloom was brave, but it really worked. Tom Holland good as Stephen Dedalus too. Anne Hathaway brilliant as Molly, but wish they had not cut her soliloquy. Wasn’t familiar with which bits of Dublin they used, but that didn‘t seem to matter.

Lindsay BeyersteinI can't stress enough what a crisis this is. Trump's own intelligence agencies concluded that Iran attacked Minnesota's critical infrastructure and Trump is saying that it's Minnesota's own fault and denying it was Iran. The federal government won't defend blue states in a literal war.

One of the few real insights from Fauci's diary is that he was friendly with and gave time to console Katie Miller during her pregnancy with Covid. Then Miller blasted him. Then Paul belatedly redacted the sections featuring Miller, because political allies get privacy. people.com/dr-anthony-f...
