Just caught a bunch of transphobes intensely vicious reactions to Emma Watson - the obsessive hatred towards trans people and anyone who dares speak up for them both sickens and befuddles me - why so much relentless hate and frequently ignoring cis male abusers - I don’t understand so many humans

It’s so lovely to get this sort of reaction as I am never too sure what I am

...The bristol gig was 'alarmingly' comedic.

Its been a quite a while since I laughed that much. A fantasy triple bill with you, Chris Morris & S. Lee is the only thing that could have topped it!

May the mad gods continue to guide your path.

AND that only tune you’ll be able hear until November 2 is a remix that we did of our own tune. Who does that?

Fold @fold.fm · 1d

This time around we tried to make 11 minutes of music so mediocre that it would be unilaterally ignored. And you can’t even hear it all yet, just one tune until November 2nd, which is a Sunday 🥱

4 of the 8 tracks are ‘bonus tracks’ & that just says it all really.

Watching Piers Morgan drag out the “what is a woman” question with Zack Polanski and using it to try and diminish Polanski and then reminded that Morgan’s allyship to women stretches all the way to calling Mohammed Al Fayed “a bit of a rascal”

www.theguardian.com/world/2024/n...

Mohamed Al Fayed may have raped and abused at least 111 women and girls, say police

Scale of criminality would make Fayed, who died last year at the age of 94, one of Britain’s most notorious sex offenders

That was a train carriage of two different personalities - some men got on - sat in the aisles do there wasn’t enough room for everyone to board - but another group of passengers were careful and helpful when a fellow collapsed

My point is not as much about Blair as about the fact Epstein was able to get so close when the FBI knew of his activities from mid 90s

What I am talking about is intelligence services being aware - just as I find it very hard to believe that as even part- time workers at Harrods knew of Al Fayed danger - how the hell would journalists and intelligence services not have known

I have spoken to investigators who know the FBI was aware of Epstein’s activities more than ten years before it was anywhere in the public domain
