I RECENTLY WOKE up sneezing like mad, with a terrible headache, aching limbs and feeling really hot. I thought I was coming down with the flu, but then I remembered I work in a pepper grinding plant and I'd just fallen down a flight of forty steps and landed in the boiler room.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.

"Please get the truth out about our son."
Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

In case you’re wondering whether the pro-ICE reactions to Renee Nicole Good’s murder are natural, here’s a comment that was just left on my video. My video about anti-transgender bias at the BBC. I haven’t made a video about Good yet.

B @BFthoughts • 1 hour ago In this video, it seems obvious why an officer could fear she was going to run into him with her vehicle. Wow! I hadn't seen this angle. He had a reason to feel threatened. It is done. :

"Protecting women & girls"
a tweet retweeted by graham linhan showing a romance novel mock up image showing a woman in a car looking with desire at an ice agent with the caption "detained by desire". Tweet text reads "What’s unfolding in Minnesota is a psychosexual drama where bored moms are begging big strong men to throw them around."

"average person knows 3 sex offenders" factoid actualy just statistical error. average person knows 0 sex offenders. Journalism Georg, who lives in cave & is pals with 10,000 sex offenders and enjoys their dinner parties and their funny anecdotes, is an outlier adn should not have been counted"

The Times, just protecting women again today
Send Andrew a Christmas card? Of course We all have some dodgy skeletons in our historical cupboard of friends — and the choice to support or abandon them Libby Purves @LIB_THINKS Just as the nation posts or types out a Christmas salute to friends and kin, along comes a more squalid pictorial avalanche from the US justice department. The latest photos from the Jeffrey Epstein investigation appal more than they surprise: he was a rich man and a networker. He knew who to court, how to make use of courtier-houseguests, and how to keep any future blackmail-power on his side (always have a photographer handy). So there he is with Michael Jackson and Bill Clinton and rock stars and tycoons, snapping them in hot tubs and jets, on islands and at dinners. Or, even better, sprawling in black tie across multiple female thighs in the Jacob Rees-Mogg Commons-front bench position, like poor dim Andrew. The latter certainly paid his dues, enabling Epstein to pose himself at Royal Ascot, Balmoral and Sandringham as well as Downing Street, Mar-a-Lago and hedge-fund mansions. The drip of pictures is pretty grim, not least for any unfortunates who didn’t really know or like the man and were blind to his activities but get branded “Epstein friend” by the flashbulb. It can happen, even to semi-public innocents: heaven knows how many secret monsters I may have grinned alongside at book or charity events. So spare a kindly Christmas thought for any poor wretches who never accepted more than an unwanted drink and long to have their faces black-boxed like the victims. Still, at least they can publicly deny friendship, as long as they don’t get exposed like our former prince for secretly carrying it on. Or, like his wife, denying it then sending Epstein a reassuring message saying she didn’t mean it and he is a “supreme friend”. From youth, we have all had the odd friend who behaves badly

Sandie Peggie: I can't really think of an example of anything else recently where the media has so misrepresented what actually happened? It's not "clever" language, it's not even what happened with Israel. It's just incorrect.

Like it does feel like a bit of an escalation.

Radio 4 and BBC and Channel 4 News and all the papers completely skewing the Peggie story so your average person will have no idea what actually happened. Doesn’t this make you furious? Integrity in journalism is dead, not just in the US

I learned last week she'd been granted anonymity but a very high profile GC (uncertain whom atm) named her then named her again adding "Whoops". In a Scottish criminal case that would bring perjury action and jail - per attempted prosecution witness revelation in #Salmond trial. [9 months]

"ONE for sorrow, two for joy, three for a girl and four for a boy, 99 " the adage about magpies goes. Well I spotted a single magpie in my garden last week and this morning I woke up to find I'd shit the bed. So maybe there is something to these old superstitions after all. Gary Ireland, Tauranga

I WAS in Lyme Regis recently and there was a sign that read Do Not Feed Me', accompanied by a photo of a scrawny seagull. That's all well and good, but there were literally thousands of the fuckers flying about, and they all looked the same. How was I meant to know which was the one in the photo? Rupert Deering, Dulwich

THESE beekeepers are hypocrites. They're always banging on about how we must save the bees because they're so important, and then they go and open up a hive, create a smoke screen and steal all their food. It's an odd way of caring if you ask me. Irene Fisticuffs, Spitoon

Recognized the woman in the photo instantly. She once had to hear her mother talk on camera abt driving them both off of George Washington Bridge. That talk—abt taking yr child’s life& yours—was in a video made by autism org that worked to demonize autistic ppl. Ghorayshi is a straight line from it
esqueer.net Alejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net · Oct 1
Azeen Ghorayshi at the NYT has moved on from going after trans people and is now pushing the leasing question that autism diagnoses are too common because of its expansion of it to a spectrum.

Alt text: A screenshot of a New York Times article titled “Should the Autism Spectrum Be Split Apart?” The image shows a woman with dark hair tied back with an orange patterned ribbon, smiling and leaning forward near a window with sunlight coming in. She is wearing a light orange top with thin straps.

I note here that the police raided Nicola Sturgeon’s house live on national television because they thought her husband had spent party donations on a camper van
flyingrodent.bsky.social flyingrodent @flyingrodent.bsky.social · Sep 28
I feel it’s very irresponsible and inflammatory to accept donations from extremely partisan pro-Israel billionaires to help wreck your own party, then conceal them from the authorities while booting the pro-Palestine left for antisemitism, while you facilitate the genocide of the Palestinian people.

I am unsure why the whole country hasn't stopped for this. Is it not terrorism? It was intended to create fear amongst marginalised communities.

The perpetrators, one of whom has been arrested, told the woman during the attack: "You don't belong in this country, get out."

They have never, ever expressed anything close to this level of pain and sympathy for school shooting victims.
On Fox News, the anchor Will Cain choked up on-air as he read aloud President Trump's announcement of the death of Charlie Kirk. "I don't know where we go from here as a news program," Mr. Cain told viewers, "and I don't know where we go from here in America." Megyn Kelly, streaming live on YouTube, was tearful even before the news was confirmed, sobbing with her guest, Glenn Beck of The Blaze. She described Mr. Kirk as a friend who supported her even when her relations with the MAGA world were strained. "I am so sorry to be bringing you this news," Ms. Kelly told her audience. Later
