Something that’s so striking in these emails is how…unimpressive Epstein is. He comes off as a pompous, sub-literate lech. Yes everyone is so mortifyingly solicitous of him! All fawning and flattery! Why?????

I just walked out of federal court where I pleaded NOT GUILTY to the charges against me.
I will continue to stand up to authoritarianism and call this out for what it is: a political prosecution.

The absolute collapse of their stupid AI ruse — hopefully followed by a massive wave of tech regulation and imprisoning the politicians who enabled this — cannot come soon enough.

RefUKuenssberg gave, yet again, a platform to an unelected millionaire, Mo, representing a party with just 5 MPs, to talk shit about things he hasn’t got a clue about. #ukpolitics

🏥saving £10 million a week by ending outsourcing
🏥ending all private finance deals

“Black people make up around 4 percent of the population” she says here, ( in her massively insincere and fake apology)
But…… I thought we were being “invaded”?😯
Can’t have it both ways, Reform. Vile racist bigots 😖

“They’ve got money for ICE and golden ballrooms but not for hungry families” is so easy it’s almost funny
Johnson: Snap benefits is a unique situation. I got a summary of the legal analysis…the contingency funds are not legally available to cover the benefits right now

This is Heinrich Himmler, the head of the SS and architect of the Holocaust. That symbol on his cap is the totenkopf. This isn't just a nazi symbol, it was the symbol of SS guards who mass murdered millions.
Just to be clear, no one who gets this as a tattoo should ever be elected.

"wauuugh that person is so annoying" so block them. Do it immediately. Diplomatically problematic to block them? Mute them. Bluesky is great for that. Boom, now you don't read their posts. Wow!

While I don't doubt Stan Lee would absolutely be cool with this, we as a society should NOT BE
For decades, Stan Lee was the king of comic conventions. Now, nearly seven years after his death at the age of 95, he will once again be a presence at L.A. Comic Con, this time as a hologram that will use AI to have conversations with fans.

It’s quite easy to cling to free speech absolutism when you are not the target of a promised ethnic cleansing. The “marketplace of ideas” is a legitimising myth for such politics of annihilation, and “debating” ethno-nationalism is nothing more than the gamification of another’s humanity.

The far right describe this as a ‘Dark Enlightenment’. That’s such a wilful contradiction in terms, let’s call it for what it is ‘The Endarkement’
I’m not surprised at the large turn out yesterday. Our media ecosystem - as @carolecadwalla.bsky.social has often pointed — has completely collapsed, and people are motivated by outright inflammatory lies on social media. It’s a crisis of information and the dark side of the digital revolution

The owner of one of the biggest platforms calling for violence on the streets of the UK is absolutely the limit of what is acceptable, that platform should be removed from the UK until certain conditions are met as legislated by our government. The sooner the better for all of us.
