On a per-hour basis this pays less well than being Norwich Market's writer-in-residence. nationalcentreforwriting.org.uk/writing-hub/...

Whether it's a Hillary Clinton staffer asking John Podesta how to make risotto or Elon Musk asking Jeffrey Epstein where he could find a party featuring child sex slaves, there's plenty of embarrassing emails on both sides.

Judith: Jeff Bezos owns WaPo, right? Reporter: Right. Judith: And Meta? Reporter: Right. Judith: Y'know, I think he's gonna make a holofernic incarnation of himself within 5 years. Reporter: You mean holographic? Judith: Did I stutter?

Wake up, workers of the world, a new second-person plural pronoun dropped.

On one hand, the richest people in the world are sociopathically accumulating wealth instead of helping those in need, but on the other hand they're Nazis and pedophiles

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

I’ve long thought that billionaires and royals should be taxed out of existence. This latest Epstein release makes me think we should castrate them all, flay them alive and then tax them out of existence. And that’s my *moderate* view.

An entire political movement founded on uncovering hidden messages in documents to discover the powerful secret pedophiles and meanwhile the powerful pedophiles out here sending gmails saying "Hi fellow pedophile when are we meeting to do pedophilia again"

The genie “You can go back to meet your 16 year-old self, but you can only say three words” Me, arriving in 1995 “Buy Apple socks-“ Reappears now “-stocks! Damnit.” Sees I’m wearing socks with apples on them “motherfu-“

Seeing how shite the elites are at writing emails you start to see why they think gen ai is magic and the bees knees

I've spent 27 years working in the criminal courts and in police stations. I promise you that since the advent of social media, it's white men - mostly older white men - who are becoming radicalised by social media and it's mostly white men who harass/abuse women online and send death/rape threats.

Living in Leicester, a majority South Asian city, you get used to Nazis, nationalists & assorted other cunts parachuting in to cause trouble Often, they make you very angry and/or anxious Occasionally, however, their very presence makes you laugh so hard you vomit on their shiny, shiny shoes

trump's name all over these epstein files released in the last 24 hrs. these, though, have been scrubbed from the DOJ website. but they have been saved and posted elsewhere.

Fucking QUEEN, fuck this noise

Where Sarah Phillimore and her incompetent lawyer fall down is on their basic understanding of the law of Harassment and how it intersects with the rules on freedom of speech. Beautifully crafted letter in response.

So much, so much

January passing like a kidney stone this year.

The people protesting outside migrant hotels are people who’ve not had to stay in hotels for work ever. Their only hotel experience is an all inclusive in Benidorm. They’ve never had to stay on the top floor of the Citrus Hotel in Cardiff in July where the windows don’t open and there’s no AC

We can now name the Oxford Professor said to have raped a junior academic: Bent Flyvbjerg.

just choked on my beverage

Catching up on bluesky I'm very glad I went to this rather than watched the Apprentice tonight

As someone who is *terrible* at arguing, this is really useful.

They're good, read them

I hope she uses that photo on the apps

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

I'm sorry, but the reaction to Brianna Ghey being murdered by people she knew offline *because she was transgender* becoming 'we should stop teenagers from being on social media' rather than 'we should deal with the recent horrifying rise of transphobia in the UK' is unbelievably fucking bullshit.

BTW the EASIEST way to convince a pet-owner the NHS shouldn't be privatised is to ask them how much their last vet bill cost.

A white guy threw a homemade bomb into a crowd protesting colonialism in Australia and the media have broadly reframed it in more gentle terms, eg this describing it as a "device" that was 'designed to explode'.

What's he hiding under the glove?

Matt Goodwin was my university tutor. I’ll have a few things to say about him over the coming weeks.

Ok, maybe I'm not having such a bad day then

Heh

Yes! Now why couldn't England?

While sudden cliff falls at Birling Gap (near my home town of Eastbourne) are no joke, I really love how much it looks like we’ve roused a grumpy, sleepy sea-wizard.

I looked up the cast of Nuremberg on Google and the 2nd suggested question was "what was Goering's IQ" if you were wondering where the techbros were at

(Dude suddenly stops pushing his broom across the floor of the Death Star) Does this look like a big laser to anyone else

🙄 And all because of 1, just 1 debunked paper. A million deaths is not enough for Andrew Wakefield.

I realised over Christmas that I’d never gotten my second MMR jab on account of childhood moves and policy changes. I emailed my GP and I just got it this morning, free on the NHS. It’s never too late and you can’t overdo it. Please get vaccinated. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Ban on them unless you can prove you need it for work, and even then, ban on them & SUVs being over a certain size too. They're a fucking menace.

Reminds me of a very similar bit of training female members of the British secret service were given during WW2: "Don't ask a man who works for their government what's happening. Confidently tell him something you know to be inaccurate, and he will be forced to correct you".

Please don't go to see Melania's film ironically. You'd still be supporting the Nazis and they won't know/care if it was a joke.

Just in case anyone here knows of (or is!) a cis ally with money to support us: your can make a donation here to keep the project free for trans people (and, potentially, expand): goodlawproject.org/trans-unity-...

I'm not thrilled with this new interpretation of Paddington Bear, but I'm kinda on board with this:
