"The abuse of women by male predators and their enablers – and Britain’s as yet unacknowledged role – has shocked me to the core. It demands an in-depth police investigation, and is by far the biggest scandal of all"

This is vital stuff from Gordon Brown. Hope the police & Government listen up.

Gotta disagree with this. This government has gone further in practice on anti-immigration, anti-trans/non-binary, anti-disabled policies than any in last three decades+. This isn't a bogof where you get a free bigotry with every vaguely humane policy you enact. 1/5

According to @moderation.bsky.app I'm following too many accounts back.

"We recommend that you reduce the accounts you follow so that it's proportionate to the amount of accounts that follow you."

I'm following only 1/4th of the 200K+ people that are following me.

The moment I saw this, I knew it was ICE incompetence.
They downed what was most likely a mylar balloon with an unauthorized laser.
They were going to shutdown an airport over a balloon and claimed it was a cartel drone without any evidence.
Complete incompetence.
The FAA just shut down El Paso Airport for 10 days on short notice for "security reasons." No way this isn’t border-related BS, ICE, or military. Pure optics over people.

It's almost like being fabulously rich doesn't make you happy or well adjusted. It's almost like it makes you sad and lonely. And leaves you forever casting about for scapegoats to offset your deep self-loathing. Thank you Jim Ratcliffe and Elon Musk for these important life lessons.
