What would you do if you had access to a time portal? Try to resolve your granny’s childhood trauma, or try to save the world from global warming? Or even dance along to Hendrix at Woodstock, 1969? 3 generations of the time trekking Anderson family do all this and more in the ‘On Time’ series.
"I can't be bought"

Says man who sells video birthday greetings for £70 a time.

A thought for these times…

This goes not only for individuals, but Reform in general.

And here, we look into this mirror in real time.

Russian propagandist Solovyev fantasizes about a large-scale war in Europe,with the idea of a "united Russian-American army"fighting the EU:

"I don’t rule out the possibility of a war unfolding in the European theater of military operations -a united Russian-American army against the army of the EU
This is utterly deranged behavior from a U.S. attorney general

Piers Cross has quite a lot of work and campaigning around issues in boarding schools, and a great many youtube videos. In many ways I think some of them are public school issues amplified, yet you still have the generational factors, "what our family have always done..."

Agreed.

Cultural change takes time and effort.

Some people who have been through adversity do all they can to avoid passing on the baggage to the next generation and others excuse it because facing some of the things is really hard especially without support or having to keep living in that world.

Women are never full members. But there’s a wives and girlfriends club, and a complicit ‘secretary’ level. Ghislaine fulfilled both roles, to a horrific degree because her guy was a monster. As, the evidence suggests, was her father. This has deep roots & can only be addressed by cultural solutions

Only a minority will be abusers. Many will be in there for the power and the connections; it’s also a source of finance and business deals between a circle of friends. The thing is, though, you never tell on ‘chaps like us.’ And then, one of the ringmasters got caught. And here we are.

It’s a men’s club that continually reproduces itself, by bringing in a stream of young men. It’s gone on for centuries with public schools in the UK producing the next generation of candidates. The US has its own mechanisms, however those links were never severed from colonial times, anyway.

‘Epstein has given us a portal thru which we can now see how hostile state influence, criminality & the impunity of the billionaire class are intimately enmeshed… But we can’t understand any of this until we realise Epstein isn’t just a doorway, he’s also a mirror.’ 👏 @carolecadwalla.bsky.social

Yes I think there’s probably a long list on which I no doubt tick a few boxes!

I don’t think she’s on BlueSky to ask!

This is from 2022, BTW, I don’t think they’d dare publish it now. The point is that we need to really think about *why* institutions controlled by a male establishment are so incurious about situations in which other men have been abusers. This is clearly what happened in Starmer’s inner circle.
This is an important ‘think piece’ for those contemplating the cultural problem we currently need to face in the UK. Whatever led a woman to write an article like this? It’s not just about her; it’s about the culture in which she, editors & readers believed this to be an acceptable approach to take

Raskin to Bondi: "You're not showing a lot interest in the victims. Whether it's Epstein's human trafficking ring or the homicidal government violence against citizens in Minneapolis, as AG you're siding with the perpetrators and ignoring the victims."
Now more details in the Epstein files reveal Bannon as part of a successful plot to topple Theresa May with Nigel Farage, Boris Johnson and Jacob Rees Mogg, here’s an article from the archive about Johnson and Bannon’s collaboration

It’s very likely his last chance to use the position he was born into in a useful way (which it seems he hasn’t done for the last 40 years), so I hope he chooses to do so, prison or not. His pal Ghislaine is obviously not going to show any remorse.

‘So, how to seek redemption? Well, to me and I suspect many others out there, the answer to this is obvious. Give the fullest evidence that you can, about Epstein and his web of vice, blackmail and bribery, under oath.’ @yorkshirebylines.co.uk @bylinesnetwork.co.uk

I read Dickens' 'Bleak House' over Christmas - loved it. Now watching the 2005 BBC series on iPlayer. Just wonderful - phenomenal cast, cleverly edited, beautifully filmed. A delight in 15 priceless parts.

Well, who knows, maybe here in the U.K., we may be heading back onto that road now? 🤞🏻 This resignation message seems very fair.

Does this opinion make me an ‘OK Boomer?’ I was 14 when Nixon resigned and I remember my (‘greatest generation’) dad shaking his head and saying ‘what a terrible thing.’ I can’t imagine what that generation would make of the world now. Probably ‘it’s your own (collective) fault.’
I may be speaking from a past generation here but I think it worked better when there were standards in public life, & if lawmakers were caught in any type of financial and/or vice scandal they had to resign & didn’t come back. In that world, Trump would never have been a presidential candidate 🤷🏼‍♀️

I think he was seen as someone who could engage with the Trump White House because they shared background. No one seemed to see the obvious issue. And there is the other issue for us, in that several women MPs have commented that Starmer has appointed a ‘blokey’ inner circle.

In all the commentary about the Melania film, which is supposed to be a documentary, Mark Kermode nails it: Melania is a heist movie, showing crooks grabbing the spoils they're after.
The rest of the world should be worrying, not applauding.

Well done Mark Kermode for saying it how it is
