Third-party seller on SHEIN sold blatantly obvious child s*x dolls. France took action, threatening to block the entire site if they weren’t removed.

Hopefully investigations find and punish the seller(s). SHEIN will surely be held accountable for allowing those products on their platform.

In response to “How does Elon Musk affect your daily life?”

Let us count the ways:

🔻Twitter/X – a megaphone for hate speech and disinformation.
🔻EPA – less oversight, more pollution, sicker communities.
🔻NOAA – weaker forecasts, fewer warnings, more dead neighbors.

Not in the UK, but sharing because this is important. We should all be standing up for what’s right, not blindly bowing to bullies. Let’s be like Kim. Let’s make a difference.
It’s frustrating that it continually falls to @kimmacaskill.bsky.social to call out the kind of bullshit that senior figures in the games industry are given carte blanche to enact but I’m grateful that she’s willing to do it.

Bad faith headlines and cherry-picked coverage are big reasons public trust wavers for legacy media.

Thank you Mango Team for reporting on the Luigi Mangione trial. The way they paint a picture of everything - almost like docu-style reporting - adds valuable context you won’t find elsewhere.
