57 h. ago The Signal chat exposes the administration’s incompetence – and its pecking order | Sidney Blumenthal

The discussion revealed unserious people who don’t know when to keep quiet, with Stephen Miller as the real bossOn 13 March, Donald Trump’s national security adviser, Michael Waltz, who was the policy director for two secretaries of defense and was a member of the House intelligence committee, sent a message on the commercial Signal app: “Team – establishing a principles group for coordination on Houthis, particularly for over the next 72 hours.” “The Houthis PC small group” would oversee a US air attack on the Houthis in Yemen.Despite Waltz’s extensive professional background, he misspelled “principals” as “principles” – perhaps an ordinary typo, but symptomatic of the shambles to come.

60 h. ago MobLand: Tom Hardy deserves better than Guy Ritchie’s mediocre 90s

Hardy, Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan and Paddy Considine are well and truly phoning it in in this gangland drama that’s a total throwback to the 90s – with the awful cockney accents to matchLots of people wish it were still the 1990s.

But I guarantee you that nothing on Earth wishes it were the 1990s more than the new Paramount+ series MobLand.Just describing MobLand (out Sunday 30 March) feels like a game of 1990s nostalgia bingo. It’s directed by Guy Ritchie, the 90s director. It stars Pierce Brosnan, the 90s Bond. It’s a London-set crime drama full of characters who talk in cartoonish cockney accents like they’re doing Parklife karaoke. The criminals are a family called the Stevensons, rather than a bunch of kids o...
