BBC News, "Newly released documents reveal that Prime Minister Keir Starmer was warned of reputational risk over Mandelson's links with Epstein" Should Starmer resign the same way he and Mahmood made the former Chief Constable of West Midlands Police Craig Guildford resign?

Scientists/science writers I found in Grammarly's 'expert review' system: David Spiegelhalter, Ivan Oransky, Mary Roach, Rebecca Skloot, Ed Yong, Melinda Wenner Moyer, Deborah Blum, Tom Knight, Michael E Mann, Corinne Le Quere. [pic: results of 5 trials w/ free burner acct]. No doubt many more.

Remember these words as he engineers a humanitarian disaster the scale of which nobody in this hemisphere has seen in living memory.

i genuinely cannot process how debased our ruling class is. these guys will walk around all day in shoes that don't fit rather than tell their boss he's wrong. this whole thing where they pretend a stupid evil guy with brain damage is qualified to run every aspect of everyone's life is unacceptable

It is already funny but now it’s become far funnier because they know everyone knows and is looking at their shoes but they still have to do this

Watch this moment from Parliament as MPs debate whether the UK should move toward proportional representation during discussion of the Representation of the People Bill.

That's de Adder's take: #cdnpoli www.hilltimes.com/cartoon-dead...

Exclusive: The Metropolitan Police interviewed Virginia Giuffre 3 times after her lawyers handed them a dossier of evidence saying that she was trafficked to UK by Epstein and Maxwell, and made her have sex with Prince Andrew But they did not launch an investigation www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/w...

Can't quite believe this needs repeating, but: If you're using commercialised LLM extruders for any reason - whether it's rewriting an email, deploying a "thinking partner" or doing "research" for your next book... You are handling stolen goods You are sanctioning plagiarism Stop

So... Iran is not firing "indiscriminately", they're deliberately attacking countries with US bases. All of this was foreseeable, but nobody bothered to actually think about it Starmer has made us a target.

Three US bombers took off from Gloucestershire yesterday to 'defensively' bomb Iran Darren Jones explains how you bomb a country defensively (after you've launched an illegal and unprovoked attack on them)

The immune system is not a muscle. It is a cleansing fire. It causes collateral damage. It has a limited supply of fuel. It can get out of control. Don’t burn your whole house down every time by catching every disease without caution.

I finally lost my shit about so-called AIs, LLMs, enshittification & everything fucking evil that @officialgrammarly.bsky.social is doing. I'm fucking furious, and not just about what 1 company has done. An open letter to Grammarly & the rest of the LLM hype machine www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...

Not content with the genocide in Gaza, Israel now seems to be planning the same thing in Iran. There's certainly no other plan... Just endless bombing by them and the complicit US. So why are we involved?

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public. I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are. 1/ Here's what I can share:

I really just do not understand how this could be possible

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez doing what UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has chosen not to do, criticise the US and Israel for their attack on Iran which breached international law

BREAKING: Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister Darren Jones confirms the first tranche of the Peter Mandelson / Jeffrey Epstein documents will be published to Parliament this afternoon after PMQs

Hey Joe Rogan, he lied. Trump lies as he breathes. I talk to folks every day who feel betrayed by him. And I tell em - I’m sorry he lied to you, but this is on you too bcuz you chose to believe a sociopath/pathological liar. And if you don’t call him out for lying, he’ll keep right on lying to you.

New: A Houston woman is suing Tesla in Harris County, alleging that her Cybertruck, while using Tesla's "Full Self-Driving mode" tried to drive the car off of a bridge. Here is the dashcam footage provided by her lawyers: www.chron.com/culture/arti...

Iran has started laying naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for one-fifth of the world’s oil. Only a few dozen mines have been deployed so far, but the IRGC could place hundreds or even thousands more

The risk for babies who get measles under the age of 6 months to develop this within 10 years is 1 in 600.

1. A new NHS England Review excluded 97% of all trans care studies to conclude that trans youth care doesn't work. It explicitly violates several guidelines around reviewing literature, and appears to be politics masquerading as (shoddy) science. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Trump doesn’t have the ability to dictate when the war is over.

porn addiction isn't real. science agrees with me. this is puritanical shame, often combined with people who struggle with dopamine release finally finding something that helps.

Dr. Howard has Prasad nailed. This is more than worth a read.

Nobody has ever been so lyrically yet thoroughly excoriated as in this piece. And yet, few people have ever deserved such a complete dismantling as the Prince formerly known as Andrew www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

They want the world to end so bad as long as it doesn’t involve acknowledging climate change

So, as people stuggle with their mortgages and bills, Farage invests £215,000 in Kwasi Kwarteng’s crypto business. And plans to deregulate that high-risk industry by removing our rights and consumer protections. He’s laughing at voters. All the way to the bank. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Even if AI doesn’t hit jobs in a big way, unemployment is starting to re-emerge as a policy issue. So it’s good that @sarahoconnorft.ft.com reminds us how low our unemployment benefits are, and how this can lead to people taking jobs below their skill level www.ft.com/content/771a...

Sometimes all I've got left is sarcasm. And when that runs out, I get serious.

Petrol forecourts 'profiteering' as fuel prices jump nearly 9p a litre. Opportunistic profiteering Companies quick to increase prices, slow to bring them down. Govt must act. Also clawback excess profits through windfall taxes.

AOC: The Pentagon has not passed an audit, and they are out here trying to kick people with disabilities off of Medicaid. It is corruption that is stealing from the public coffers — and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.

Trump's decision to bomb Iran is now the greatest windfall to the Russian war effort on record. If it continues, it might save the Russian war economy.

They wanted freedom of speech. They got freedom of speech. 🧵

Good summary from @hansardsociety.bsky.social on how today's ~the children~ Commons debate on a social media ban for <16s is, regardless of your opinion on the issue, very bad lawmaking and government, rehashing (as I've said) bad ideas which were smacked out of the OSA years ago for a reason.

The fact that this war has exposed the bullshit – and ruined the lives – of so many Dubaifluencers might be the only good thing about this stupid war. F*ck these people.

Qatars PM condemns Iran for retaliating after being attacked & says the speed of its response suggests it was pre planned. Having a plan in the event of being attacked? Outrageous! He says Qatar would like to see a peaceful region. Qatar houses the largest US base in the M/E

A woman named Tara Reade accused Biden of rape during the 2020 campaign; Grim and some others tried to make a big deal about it but it never stuck or had any real evidence Anyway she now lives in Moscow and reads propaganda for Putin on Russia Today

They just released her onto the street in Wisconsin in the middle of winter. Walked and hitchhiked to a hotel. This is a U.S. citizen that was nabbed at O’Hare for no reason. bsky.app/profile/djby...

Absolutely. Everyone's acting as if Covid never happened. Doesn't bode well for future pandemics.

NEW BLOGPOST: Keir Starmer and David Lammy are taking an extraordinarily dangerous gamble with our individual liberty For any MP unsure of how to vote on the government’s proposals to restrict trial by jury.

The point about the politicisation of judges is key. If we had responsible politicians who accept the concept of separation of powers, and newspapers who did not brand judges who rule in a manner they don’t like “enemies of the people”, the idea might have (slightly more weight). But we don’t. /1
