I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

Thank you, @possiblegrenade.bsky.social!

I specifically want to shout out that Jeremy Hyman album -- self-released, probably not all that well known, and one of the best dance-adjacent records I've heard this fall. jeremyhyman.bandcamp.com/album/low-air

I like how Zohran Mamdani scandals are like "He called his old cousin his aunt one time" and Andrew Cuomo scandals are like "He sexually assaulted 13 women."

Americans are on the verge of losing their ability to choose their government. But they don't seem to have realized it yet.

Independent investigative journalism that truly sits outside of the established system allows the media-political class itself to be scrutinised. How can we understand the world we live in if we won't ask difficult questions of those framing it? Support Byline Times: subscribe.bylinetimes.com

I reviewed a truly phenomenal album on Spacetime Continuum's recently revived Reflective label. Absolute manna for fans of mid-90s Autechre, Aphex, Burger/Ink, Skam, et. al. pitchfork.com/reviews/albu...

Britain's problems in one capsule. If you pay to go to a posh private school and Oxford and do History and marry into wealth you can say anything, do anything, smash anything, fail anywhere. And people will still lap up what you say and nod like donkeys. (1/2) www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Chris Christie: “Thie is no longer, the Department of Justice, is no longer the premier prosecuting office in America. What it is now is a capo regime who goes out and executes hits when directed by the Don to do so. That’s what it is.”

I see Reform UK are on #BBCQT again tonight, would one of the other panelists kindly ask Is it fiscally responsible for Nathan Gill to make anti EU, pro Russia statements in exchange for bribes But for Nigel Farage to make anti EU, pro Russia statements, without bribes?

Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House had more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and it appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records.

Badenoch and Co see education only as a means to a massive income in some soul destroying career. Devoid of imagination and the power of knowledge they view life entirely through the prism of the CV. My advice always is to study what interests you and the rest will follow
