It's obviously good that citizens with smartphones can create multiple records of these shootings and undercut propaganda and government lies about them. But I find it a little deranging that being an informed news consumer in 2026 requires watching what are essentially snuff videos in slow-mo.

Horrifying.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Gisele Pelicot’s husband drugged & raped her for a decade. He invited men from the internet to participate.
Philip Young did the same thing.
70,000 men were in group rape chats discussing how to rape their wives, mothers & sisters
Gisele wasn’t an anomaly. The anomaly was the men getting caught:

Is it possible for one workman to come to this house and not cut a fucking cable that is nothing to do with them? Wondering if I can deduct my lost earnings from their bill, FFS.

Sadly suppressing such a devastating report doesn’t make the risks go away - it just makes them even harder to deal with. Facing up to the truth is the first step to coping with it - it’s beyond scandalous that ministers tried to prevent this. They need to act - and fast

Today has been my birthday, now in my final year of my 40s. I took the day off and knitted whilst watching a murder doc. I am a walking middle-aged cliche. And I don’t care.

Oh, well, as long as he has apologised. 🙄
What is the point of the commissioner for standards if this many breaches can be cleared on one meaningless apology?

New - Nigel Farage has been found by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards to have made 17 standards breaches, adding up to over £380,000 in late declarations.
He’s apologised, so no further investigation (which seems unusual for a breach this large)

I'm perfectly aware this is by far not the worst thing he's done, but Trump's constant presence - day after day after day - in the lives and headspaces of hundreds of millions of people (billions?), in the US and outside, is so taxing. Every morning, we wake up and have to think about this asshole.

The obsession with trans women in women’s changing rooms seems to take up a lot of the media space that could be used to highlight cis male sexual abusers - but the concerns over them are usually only of interest when they are dead after a lifetime of praise
