The only direct interaction that Dawn ever had with Coren was about Rupert Myers harassing women….When he celebrated her death people focused on a different tweet about his dad being famous (one that didn’t even @ him) but that’s not the one that got under his skin…. bsky.app/profile/flyi...

If you ever find yourself wondering how things like the Epstein story happened, consider the mid-level newspaper editor who admitted in a public judicial inquiry that he destroyed a woman’s life and drove her to suicide to try and impress Piers Morgan.

Sharing from a friend, a passage from the Leveson Inquiry regarding the British actor Denholm Elliott, who died of AIDS in 1992. Three years after her death, the News of the World journalist Paul McMullan did the following to his daughter—neither a celebrity nor even someone of public interest.

we've ended up with an entire government that has no vision beyond crushing anyone and anything vaguely associated with the Labour Party between 2015 and 2019 and is therefore delighted to appoint people like Peter Mandelson and Josh Simons to high office

BBC correspondents discussing whether this was the most “civilised” way to arrest Andrew and that Charles doesnt want him living “on the streets.” Magnificent stuff.

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647. open.substack.com/pub/jkbjourn...

Statement from Virginia Giuffre’s family: “Our broken hearts have been lifted by the news that no one is above the law, not even royalty... He was never a prince. For survivors, everywhere, Virginia did this for you.”

You don’t get points for publicly exposing one important friend of Jeffrey if it then emerges most of the media/political class was 100% on board with secret wrecking campaigns and relentless lying to the public that was being orchestrated under the table by Peter Mandelson, do you.

I think we have a new winner.

Your regular reminder that Palantir started out as a way to expose sex workers to police violence, then expanded to allow cops to spy on anyone they pointed at while barfing out the word "gang". Fascists *created* Palantir, but useful idiots approved of everything done to grow it.

... rather than fund these kinds of online projects to create these spaces for online youth work, or to properly regulate SM companies, or even set up their own, they just talk about bans. It's never about increasing a capacity to act, just clumsily obviating 'harms'.

In the research into online sex and relationships young people are always saying how much they value user generated content from social media (but that of they want advice they'll go to websites like BISH). They need safe spaces online to do this (would also recommend The Mix and Scarleteen), but

it's very instructive that all hell breaks loose when the sunday times does it, especially since it makes it clear where the boundaries of omerta lie

Time to reshare my "Don Draper pitches Jared Leto" memes.

I adored Wuthering Heights (hated Saltburn and love the book) 8/10 - Elordi is fantastic & made me wonder how Colin Farrell would have played Heathcliff - Alison Oliver got the big laughs - A period drama that isn’t married to realistic set design, hurrah! - Martin Clunes!

I have something I call The Harry Redknapp Rule, which goes thus: if someone is caught, by fluke, doing something wildly, intricately illegal - in Redknapp's case, placing dodgy cash in a Monaco bank account in his dog's name - then it is vanishingly unlikely that this is their first such crime.

If we’d learned in 2018 that e.g. Seumas Milne was passing privileged government info to a secret network of influence-peddling sex offenders led by the world’s most notorious nonce - do you think the lads would struggle to understand why that had grave implications, far beyond Milne’s office?

And I played a “key role” in the 2012 Olympics because I was living in London. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Our Griff Ferris speaks on the BBC about the waste of public money on private companies that profit from providing inadequate housing for those seeking safety & how this money can go towards improving local council housing to house people seeking asylum in our communities, where they belong. S: BBC

The public are absolutely correct to view politics as a stitched up shitshow of bent crooks. The Starmer project is conclusive proof of it, beyond all reasonable doubt! And that isn’t the public’s fault, there are very specific people who deliberately did this, and they have names and addresses.

"We are out there in every place they are, showing them that every person in this city is one of our own, that there is no such thing as other people’s children, that collectively we are not afraid of staring them in the eye," @erikhane.bsky.social writes from Minneapolis.

There are no rules, they don’t actually care about respect, decorum, bipartisanship or debate, and only pretend to do so to browbeat you into submission. Nothing is going to change until more people realise that and respond accordingly; including to the media and politicians who have failed them.

My anger at having to stand outside my kid’s school for two hours to ensure none of their classmates, parents, or teachers get kidnapped by my own government is only slightly tempered by the amazing outpouring of support from other parents and especially neighbors who stand against this bullshit.

Also, when reporters start talking about the chatbots this way, it is imperative to remind them they are basically asking a toaster for comment. They should be a lot more embarrassed about this than they currently are. “Grok told CNN…” no it didn’t. You typed stuff into an unreliable calculator.

Please donate to my Kickstarter to make "Morty Supreme," a shot-for-shot remake of "Marty Supreme" with Richard Kind in the Timothée Chalamet role.

there’s a woman across the aisle on the bus crocheting a pocket onto a cardigan *that she’s wearing*, incredible, a thing of beauty

London Bridge / Homelessness If you go through London Bridge and sees a red headed man named Christopher (outside Hamleys today) please stop & chat. I bought him some M&S food today & we talked about his situation. I gave him some advice an a hug but he needs more people to acknowledge he’s human.

“Look for the helpers” is the only thing keeping me sane with another terrorist attack on the Jewish people is in the news. Look for the helpers and support those braver than us who run toward danger. Jesus Christ.

Been listening to the podcast about this and it’s interesting - and horrifying - but also there’s something really weird about the reporting. They are glossing other aspects about FBS over, it feels like. There’s a bit where one of the founders is quoted using the r-slur and I immediately thought…

I’d urge you to consider just how extreme a person’s views would have to be, for them to stand up and tell a crowd “I went to genocidal fascism Disneyland, and I was blown away by all the freedom and equality” in 2025.

There are plenty of links between the anti-trans “women’s rights” movement & anti-feminist conservatism. And opposing abortion is a logical conclusion for a movement that says no, you should not have agency over your own body; no, you do not know best about yourself; no, you have no choice.

Ok but this is totally something Charlotte Church would do

This is fascinating, especially the origin story of Makaton… thebaffler.com/outbursts/si...

👖APPEAL FOR MEN’S CLOTHES👕 Someone I know in Bethnal Green is asking for men’s clothes for the psychiatric ward they work in Hackney. Too often people are in dire straits and don’t have families who can bring clothes. If you’re local and can help out, please drop me a message.

I feel like it’s totally okay to get together with the boys and drink some frosty ones and talk about how impressive Kate Bush is

We're so close to having the ultimate vehicle on our roads

Like if you don’t have kids and EVERYTHING is new to you, you trust these people? Literal baby health care professionals!!! But if you can’t for whatever reason FEEDING YOUR BRAND NEW BABBY IS NO1 PRIORITY - BEFORE FORMULA WE HAD WET NURSES FFS

They made my sister feel SO BAD first 2x, she has implants but ensured they were in front or behind some chest wall so she could breast feed, but she couldn’t and they made her feel SO shit, baby no3 she shut them DOWN in the first 10 seconds

A lot of headlines recently about “record levels” of breastfeeding in certain areas but this doesn’t tell us anything about how these families are doing when it comes to infant feeding. Are these babies gaining weight? Avoiding jaundice? Are the chest feeding parents getting sleep?

I was hoping whatever was bursting out of the guy's chest in Alien would be something nice
