Interestingly cryptic email from Jeffrey Epstein to Peter Thiel, 26 June 2016: "Brexit, just the beginning"

I have created a database with all of the Epstein release docs indexed, tagged, and illustrate the social and financial data represented. Thank you, @bigfootmanifesto.bsky.social and @andreachalupa.bsky.social #epsteinfiles #journalism #Minneapolis #fuckICE analytics.dugganusa.com/epstein/

Marginal tax rates for graduates with student loans – add interest and another 6% for postgrads. £25,000: 37% £50,270: 51% £100,000: 71%

if they can offer free AI training they could offer free media literacy training too. i know which of those would do more for the public good

And of course Russian money is always involved..

Less than 3.5 years ago this person was the Prime Minister of Great Britain & Northern Ireland, First Lord of the Treasury. She was the last Prime Minister to Queen Elizabeth II, as Sir Winston Churchill was the first. I have not yet seen real inquiry amongst the Tories as to how this happened.

🎶 I'm too toxic for Reform, too toxic for Reform, where toxic's the norm... 🎶

From the other place. Richard North on Nigel Farage.

Wild that there was an open lane called "what if we just explain things clearly to people?" and he's the first one to ever fill it

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable. Biden himself said they were fabricated! www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

It’s amazing how transparent the mind games are, even when the minds aren’t clearly evident.

I can’t help thinking that Nick’s own employer (Facebook) was a key player in facilitating the very thing he laments - they monetised and promoted outrage / hate clicks that helped tip the referendum towards leave and facilitated all the subsequent fallout… and now he takes their money.

Want to run a sweepstake on how long it is before she's announced as a new Reform MP?

I would bet there's 20 stories a day like this talking about critical systems most people have no clue exist, and how trump is dismantling them. And it goes under the radar because of the insane huge shit he does. And its going to be a painful, long process to fix it back.

How many times can the same trick be played?

This is where they go to die, but unlike the mythical Elephants graveyard, they won’t be missed….

Lies, lies, and damn lies.

From the NY Post. You know they are really scrambling when they are running "The gun was no angel" stories.

Board of Peace - Season 1

For anyone who hasn't seen it

This is a good listen. Putin and the apartment bombs. Moscow/Putin broadcast for a full hour on national TV a sex tape of the Prosecutor General. Imagine how many other sex tapes there are in their files. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand...

Silicon Valley snow day is what that's called

Jared looks at home in the Kremlin. (In his head he's probably priced it up and worked out how many condos he could squeeze in.) 📷 Kremlin

Greetings from Astoria. ✨

🚨 Now trending 🚨 A video from 6 years ago is resurfacing where Nigel Farage was accused, during his time as an MEP, of failing to declare over £500k in financial support. x.com/i/status/201...

“We’ve invented a magic computer. It uses all of the earth’s resources, we’ve spent trillions on it and it’s the sole growth area of the US economy.” “What does it do?” “We were hoping you could tell us.”

Don't know if this sort of rhetoric has caught up with the fact that Reform's base are the most dependent on welfare of any party's

Chloe Zhao posted this and now I'm imagining Baz Lurhmann's "Hamnet."

Europe: Trump should focus on Ukraine, not Greenland. I mean if he is so concerned about Russia taking over territory, how about the place where Russia is trying to takeover territory? Or is that a but complicated for Trump?

Morning.

And not given a place in the Lords. 🤨

And while we’re recommending YouTube films, here’s the inimitable @petergeoghegan.bsky.social doing the Lord’s work. Because nothing says ‘free speech champions’ like, erm, going to Court to keep who funds your payroll secret. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oP0O...

Real Legacy comes from building not breaking.

Remember when Teslas became piles of ash in parking lots? Can whatever data center Grok runs out of follow that pattern, please?

You only have to look at the farrago Reform are making of Kent CC to predict what a f*** up they will make of running the UK. If you think Starmer is poor, ladies and gentlemen, here comes Faraj.

I saw this posted elsewhere. I think it sums up Reform perfectly.

"I don't even wait. And when you're a dictator, they let you do it. You can do anything. ... Grab 'em by the greenland. You can do anything."

the best 2020s espionage black comedy is about the construction crew on the White House ballroom gradually realising that they're *all* spies from different countries, except for one undocumented immigrant who has to teach them how to do things

As you can probably tell, my masterplan is to fill Reform UK with the fetid dregs of the Tory governments that tanked the economy, gave us record NHS waiting lists, the highest tax burden since the War, soaring energy bills and rivers full of shit.

I am calling for a complete and total boycott of the Mercator projection in all news stories about Greenland until every member of the American public has seen this

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

This keeps happening every day. www.elnuevodia.com/noticias/est...

The more rogue the U.S. gets, the worse this looks.

Has she joined ‘Romaine’ yet?

If he is the de facto standard, should we create a unit? One Yarvin is the amount of overestimated intelligence — a ratio of real brains vs purported brains. Someone at 1.5° Yarvin would be one and a half times as annoyingly overrated.
