Wasn’t sure about reading Nobody’s Girl, but glad I am. Sad Virginia Giuffre has died, so tough for her family & friends, but glad she got to tell her deeply moving life story.

I wonder what new grim tales the Epstein Files will tell #EpsteinFiles

David Pocock arguing in the #Senate against the cancelling of Centrelink benefits pending criminal prosecution. This is what an ethical equality warrior looks like. We need 20 more like him in the halls of power and hope we get them in the next election. He makes me proud to be Australian. #auspol

As I argue in The Language of Climate Politics: we are stuck not because climate politics are polarized, but because they’re UNIFIED (across the right and center-left) on the lie that we can keep using oil and gas but still deal with climate change anyway.

Here’s a good example of that discourse.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said today that the fight against climate change was not against the fuels that cause it — only the pollution they emit.
Von der Leyen says EU is not fighting fossil fuels, only emissions
The comment could undermine European countries’ push at COP30 to move away from coal, oil and gas.

I love the way if you turn off AI in Gmail, it removes your tabs along the top and dumps everything into the main inbox instead, even though those predated AI by years.

Nixon was nothing compared to this "president".. I don't care about the sanitized version of this "full report", because it is not. Show us the list of video tapes that were found at the mansion, who is on it and did it show and prove blackmail was part of J.E. strategy.
