The Donald seems to think he has all the time in the world to end the conflagration he and Bibi started in the Persian Gulf. Today he even told the mullahs to take a hike when they suspended any further negotiations owing to Bibi’s brutal strikes on civilian targets in southern Lebanon and continued violations of the so-called April 13th truce in the Persian Gulf. Thus, regarding the meandering negotiations of the last 45 days, the Donald averred, “I don’t care if they’re over, honestly… I really don’t care. I couldn’t care less,” Brave words, these.

The curse of WhatsApp strikes again. The text messaging service habitually used by many UK politicians to chat to their colleagues was always a liability. They often seemed to believe they were talking in a secure space, but of course on social media nothing is really secure.

Jan Marco Müller, the European Commission official who drafted the EU’s new science diplomacy framework, just said the quiet part out loud: “Science diplomacy is not about being nice to each other.” Yes, it is, dumbass. That was the whole point. For centuries, science diplomacy worked precisely because it allowed ordinary human beings to humanize one another on neutral ground while governments were busy failing.
