2008: Epstein is convicted of procuring a minor for prostitution
2018: Despite that conviction, [files indicate] he was invited by Rowling’s team - along with a guest of his choosing - to the Broadway opening of Harry Potter and the private after-party
Protecting women and children, is it?

NEW: What’s happening in the US is TECHNOFASCISM.
It’s fascism + surveillance technologies. Palantir is playing a central role. And the UK is next in line.

Right now, this second, the BBC is running a "Don't trust AI summaries, learn with BBC Bitesize" campaign for kids, because of how unreliable Machine Learning outputs are for actual education.
We want to make sure tutoring isn't the preserve of a lucky few, but accessible to every child who needs it.
AI can help us do that.
Safe, personalised, one-to-one learning support to help every child achieve and thrive.

Just saw a news piece that wrapped up with "all roads lead to reform". they needn't if Farage hadn't been on TV daily for 20 years. Ed Miliband eats a sandwich weird, he's out of influence for a decade, but Farage can limp from MEP to 4 election defeats til the world got worse around him. Bullshit.

Not to get all stentorian, but both my grandfathers served in WW2, and one of them died from its lingering sting decades later (chronic injuries). An ocean of fucking blood shed, the highest price imaginable paid to create a world where this shit didn’t happen, undone for *nothing*. Fuck you!

Dude, I dunno what to tell ya, my work doesn’t need me making gifs of things that look like other things. Why’d you restructure the economy around that?!

We have a kid, 4yo.
The kid often wants what they can't have, things are either harmful or impossible.
When that happens, a tantrum ensues. Screaming, thrashing, etc.
Eventually, the tantrum passes and we can be friends again.
They don't just get what they want.
This is about a child. For sure.

I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.

Holy shit, that’s just actual theft.
In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.
The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.
Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.
