To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015 What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

Rep. Adelita Grijalva said two victims of Epstein's abuse were in the gallery to watch her be sworn in: Elizabeth Stein and Jessica Michaels.   "Justice cannot wait another day," she said, referencing the Epstein files discharge petition.

You can read the emails yourself: Trump is in the files. He "knew about the girls." He spent time with the victims. He was involved in the coverup. He was "the dog that hasn't barked." The government can no longer be complicit in this coverup. Release the files.

Despite my engineering background, in my career I was much better informed on management than most managers. Informed didn’t necessarily make me better, but the lack of interest in the profession of management always disappointed me. I was also shit at politics, which trumps management

So much management is based solely on intuition, that turns out to be wrong. Have a look at any book on evidence based management, or Alfie Kohn on rewards. Experience says that when confronted with this, many managers simply deny the evidence. It was soul crushing.

There's this woman doing an absolutely wild social experiment on TikTok. She calls random US churches with the sound of a baby crying in the background, explain the baby hasn't eaten in over 12 hours, and asks for 1 bottle of baby formula. She has a public spreadsheet of how each one responded. 1/3

Military police in Russia's Zabaykalsky Krai are torturing the relatives of army deserters hiding in local villages Local outlet Lyudi Baikala (People of Baikal) documented the measures taken by the Russian state to force men back to the front lines.

In one of her first acts as a member of Congress, Rep. Adelita Grijalva signed a petition that could force a vote on a bill related to releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files.

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

House Oversight Committee Releases 20,000 Additional Pages of Epstein Estate Documents WASHINGTON—The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform released an additional 20,000 pages of documents received from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein. oversight.house.gov/release/over...

New YouGov poll, once again illustrating that Reform supporters are like no one else. How far does the public support net zero? Support: 60% Oppose: 25% Net support by party Green: +81 Lib Dem: +67 Lab: +64 Con: +11 Reform: -44

The really good thing about this is that News UK (a Murdoch company) took the allegation seriously and, after investigation, took brutal action against Mike Graham. There are still red lines in this country.

Private companies operating care services in just three regions of England made £250m profits in 3 years, £87.7m of profits went to care providers owned by private equity controlled from tax havens. Profits mean money buys less. Higher taxes for less service. Say NO to privatisation.

I am exhausted of hearing about Jeffrey Epstein and seeing a bunch of men and women use the memory of a dead pedophile for political expediency. I wanted to hear it all from the mouth of his most outspoken victim, and, frankly, one of the bravest women who ever lived. Please read this book.

Robbie Gibb should have been ruled out of the running for the BBC Board in 2021: it was clear he'd been closely involved in setting up GB News - an ideological project aiming to rival to the BBC, & therefore a clear conflict of interest. The fact he was still allowed to join always rang alarm bells.

📌 Reality settling in for GOP ‼️ Yes indeed • Actually MOST of you ~ shall go to prison 💯🐥

BREAKING: A Republican Congresswoman crashes and burns at a public town hall as her constituents loudly boo her and confront her about MAGA's countless failed policies. She previously vowed that she'd only hold a town hall event "when hell freezes over." Maybe she should have stuck to that threat /1

Absolutely this. If you want to know why everything everywhere is falling apart right now, you could do worse (and laugh less often) than these three books. 14 years of malicious self-interest, intentional underinvestment and accidental ineptitude. Chickens come home to roost - but under Labour.

After a monumental 18 hour final sprint, three days running, I just finished writing the sequel to #BabysBreath. The first book took me 19 days. This one took me 32. (Are you listening, George R. R. Martin?) Next week: deep read by my better half. Hopefully the week after: published.

The famously left-wing bias of the BBC. (From The Decade In Tory)

Want to know why the prisons system seems to be suddenly falling apart? Well, it's not sudden. It's just suddenly being REPORTED. This rot was a deliberate policy choice, and I kept the receipts. Because I'm not the BBC. (A note on what Tories did to cause this, from The Decade In Tory)

There was a time when I'd have cared deeply about the BBC. But they adopted a deliberate policy of kowtowing to the right, backing away from every fight, believing compliance would protect the license fee, and the right would leave them alone. Stand up to bullies, or get knocked down by reality.

Wanna know why my sympathy for the BBC has run out? Let me remind you of this little charade, while Boris Johnson was PM, and the head of the BBC secretly helped Darth Bagpuss to organise a secret £800,000 slush fund from a foreign national.

I agree that the BBC should apologise to Trump for being misleading. Right after Trump apologises for the 30,573 false or misleading claims he made during his first presidency, or for each of his current daily average of 21 new lies per. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_o...
