This is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no ‘misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.

The US political discourse is a fucking plague.
I have *Venezuelan* friends who talk about "the woke mind virus" or "political correctness gone crazy"

Buddy, we don't even have a functioning democracy and you worry about some literal first world podcaster problems?
You hear it all the time in the UK: from "our veterans go homeless" to "free speech on campus" (no one calls it campus here) to "critical race theory in schools", some many people may be physically in Portsmouth, but their head lives in Portland.

One of the most disgusting, brutal and unpunished child‑abuse networks in the world…

And the usual voices who claim to care about ‘women and girls’ have nothing to say.

That some of the world's wealthiest and most powerful men were writing crime e-mails to crime man Epstein on gmail suggests two non-exclusive things:

a) Our meritocracy isn't all it's cracked up to be;

b) Our overlords operate at levels of arrogance & impunity that make consequences unimaginable.

This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.
This just in: "Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy awards," Lemon's attorney Abbe Lowell says.

I repeat, with no shame:

I have had orgasms that lasted longer than Erika Kirk's mourning.
Candace Owens released leaked audio from Turning Point USA in which Erika Kirk is heard giggling and cheerfully discussing attendance figures, merchandise sales, and performance metrics from Charlie Kirk’s memorial event just 11 days after his death...

"please"?
In the developed world it went like this:

Not vaccinated? no medical note? no school for you.

Or

"Dear parent/guardian: tomorrow a nurse will be administering X shot; please let us know if your child has had it, or a doctor's note why they shouldn't"
Please please vaccinate your child against measles.

This is from our @independentsage.bsky.social report from last year, led by @trishgreenhalgh.bsky.social & @helensalisbury.bsky.social

Sir, this is Bluesky

Before thinking of what you'll wear, have you given any thought to the carbon footprint of your sartorial choices and the exploited labor that got it to you?
Already starting to think what to wear when BlueSky hits 42M I should ask @dieworkwear.bsky.social

Wild London is one of the most joy/hopeful shows ever made about this city.

And if you ever wondered how a chicken wing got somewhere mysterious (or "who's the asshole that did this!?"), the answer is probably: fox.

Sharing, or threatening to share, a deepfake intimate image without consent is a criminal offence.

This offence, created by the Data Act last year, will be brought into force this week, and I will make it a priority offence in the Online Safety Act too.
