Those emails don't prove anything. I'm sure that once he arrived on Epstein's party island Elon Musk was exactly as discerning about the adulthood of those he sexualised as his AI image generator is.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

Incredibly sad that this is where patriarchy and misogyny have led our society. We are in the midst of a quiet reckoning, and we may have lost each other before we all realise.

Abolish ICE is now the moderate minimum position, Prosecute ICE is where Dems should be at next.

1. This short thread is about the issue that dominates almost every aspect of politics, and causes or exacerbates most of our problems: the extreme wealth of a small number of people. Here’s the amazing thing: almost the entire political class aligns with the ultra-rich against the rest. 🧵1/10

This is a truly horrifying account of increasingly likely collapse of essential natural systems which would bring mass food shortages, price rises & global disorder. Commissioned from UK intelligence chiefs but scandalously suppressed by Govt, & sneaked out now while attention is elsewhere 👇

So I think the insight here will be less “aren’t these awful people terrible”. Been there, done that. What might actually help is: How does Britain work? What is the business of politics, what makes something “news”, how do the people involved behave, how do the public form the impressions they do?

each day we’re forced to confront the craziest shit you could possibly imagine and each day we’re forced to wash the same spoon for the millionth time

"I need this. For er... national security." - Me, as I inch toward a second piece of cake.

I think we might be witnessing Michael Carrick's peak as Manchester United manager 😉

This from former British diplomat @alexhh.bsky.social, who now is now based in the US, really hits home about the nightmare currently playing out in Trump's America bylinetimes.com/2026/01/15/a...

Liverpool: scored three absolute bangers and created a tap-in for the fourth #lfc

10 year old just opened the kitchen door, shouted "Dad you have NO RIS!" and dashed out again, slamming the door as punctuation. Unwarranted drive-by, I am injured

Generational wealth starts with one bold thief and one good heist. I believe in you. Bet on yourself today. 🫶🏾

Disappointed w BBC for that Mandelson interview. A slap in the face to Epstein victims. He was part of the system of male power which enabled & dismissed abuse. The media went after Mandelson correctly in my view. Now the media is aiding his swift rehabilitation & PR. 1/2

“Over a three‑year period, across 382 public authorities in England - including local councils, NHS trusts and domestic abuse refuges - only four formal complaints were recorded regarding trans women using facilities such as toilets, hospital wards or shelters.” Transphobic panics are manufactured.

Whether it’s Democrats putting their pronouns in email signatures or Republicans shooting and killing unarmed drivers, both sides have taken actions that the other side finds threatening.

Say NO to Palantir in the UK.

one thing I like to do when I have a new technology with no domain-specific purpose that soaks up time and does various harms to its users is to test it out first in hospitals and schools

When mainstream press get something right, it's worth drawing attention to!

This is brilliant, and made me wonder to what extent enshittification is also determined by whether the product is supposed to generate money directly from users or indirectly thru speculative investment, ads, data harvesting etc...

Doing this challenge called “January” where I try to make it through the whole month of January

Civilians.

The death toll is now 80? I know the pandemic made life cheap amid mass death, but 80 dead is staggering

I cannot emphasize enough that the attempts to anthropomorphize an algorithm is a fundamental act of journalistic malpractice and an intentional act to shield the people responsible for this. It's fucking shameful.

In 2026 I want all of the decent people to remember one thing. You aren’t meant to be this disciplined, this self-sacrificing to survive. The environment is supposed to support good living. We can have that. You are not a failure. That is politics. That is all.

UK PM Keir Starmer to woo voters & MPs with plan to cut cost of living. Can't be done without curbing profiteering, increasing real wages, democratizing the workplace, equitable distribution of income/wealth. Start by ending privatisation of water/energy.

I am especially mad at the people who sold trans people out Fuck you guys, really

This says it all👇

We have to choose good every day. We have to choose acceptance and equality and equity and justice. None of us are inherently beyond that. And the first step to doing good is recognising that you aren’t better than anyone else.

"The Guardian has now spoken to more than 30 school contemporaries of Farage who have given testimony of being on the wrong end of racist or antisemitic abuse or witnessing it at the school." www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

Struggle to see how Andre on Kerkez wasn't a yellow card. Kicking into a guy's midriff like that

The BBC is really showing its arse with its editorial guidelines recommending the use of a pseudoscientific dogwhistle in reporting that mentions trans people. It's important that they're not allowed to continue using fake-scientific insults in peace. New piece: oolong.medium.com/biological-m...

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice. The result is demagoguery and corruption.

The shadowy stranger strode through the saloon doors, masculinity rolling off him like pre-dawn fog off the plains. Inscrutable under his low brimmed hat, he slowly made his way to the bar. "Sticky. Toffee. Pudding." he said, each word piercing the heavy silence. "With custard". The bar erupted.

That there exist tiers of wealth beyond which it is literally impossible to ever make enough bad financial decisions to impoverish yourself no matter how puddingbrained you are is something we either have to eliminate or else make that the case for all people at all income levels.

Goodness me, it’s like someone rewrote The Twelve Days of Christmas with sex pests www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Glad all the talk of Slot getting sacked has subsided. But one lingering thought is that perhaps his least Liverpool-model trait is his disdain for using and encouraging young players, ironically illustrated beautifully by when he did use Trey Nyoni in the last match. #lfc

Closing out my year with a journal editor shocker 🧵 Checking new manuscripts today I reviewed a paper attributing 2 papers to me I did not write. A daft thing for an author to do of course. But intrigued I web searched up one of the titles and that's when it got real weird...

Pope Leo: “Creation is crying. But many powerful people do not hear this cry: the wealth of the earth is in the hands of a few, very few, increasingly concentrated – unjustly – in the hands of those who often do not want to hear the groaning of the earth and the poor.” www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

I am a cisgender, heterosexual, white, Jewish male, and I stand against this transphobic bigotry. Everyone is their own person with the right to decide for themselves how they identify and how they live & love. No one else has the right, legal or moral, to take that agency away from somebody else.

I can never quite get over the fact that the British government embed spies in peaceful social justice movements. It’s so monumentally fucking sketchy, especially given how they carry on when in post. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Last week, the media declared a “partial victory” for Sandie Peggie, who sued the NHS for letting a trans colleague use the women’s changing room. In fact, the case was a flop. The gender-critical movement might be persuading journalists, but it’s failing with judges 🧵

I despair at the persistence of the belief that a better world is just a few more murders away.

Whenever the commentators mention Thiaw, Newcastle's new centre back, I have flashbacks to the hope and hard reality of this era 😬

This is your regular reminder that EVERYONE who speaks speaks with an accent.
