I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

They give whole figures of people seeking asylum or needing protection for one reason or another, domestic abuse, being LGBTQIA+ etc, without contextualising it. They are making out based on a handful of incidents and anecdotes that there is widespread abuse. That is not "balanced journalism". 4/

This is such a fantastic book cover

Hello, I have a new book out in the spring with Picador and I would love it if you could help me spread the word. IF WE TOLERATE THIS draws on years of work, to help readers understand why British politics is hurtling rightwards and what to do about it. Pre-orders: uk.bookshop.org/p/books/if-w...

Trans people and allies predicted with absolute crystal clarity exactly how this would go down, that they'd start with anti-trans talking points and then come for same sex marriage and abortion, not because we had any special precognitive abilities, but because THIS IS WHAT THEY SAID THEY WOULD DO!

Donald Trump is a white property developer from new york and that is literally all you need to know to understand his behaviour.

Remember that most of this shit is the fault of white American WASPs or neo Catholics with names like Chet and Dooger, that they all went to places like Stamford and Yale to learn eugenics. I find the idea these guys were innocent babies until Israel corrupted them to be laughable.

In today's episode of 'BBC journalists misunderstanding stuff': at the start of this article I wondered what the price of the wetsuit had to do with it, then towards the end all became clear. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

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?

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.

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.
