Without asylum:

Marks and Spencer wouldn't exist

Queen would have been without a front man

The other queen wouldn't have had a husband

Judith Kerr would never have written The Tiger Who Came to Tea

And thousands of less famous people wouldn't have been teachers, politicians, neighbours, etc

🕯️Russia killed Natalia Khodemchuk, the widow of Valeriy Khodemchuk, the first victim of Chornobyl disaster.

A Russian drone struck the woman's apartment in Kyiv. Natalia was hospitalized with burns to 45% of her body. She died in the hospital this morning.

The US is basically governed online from a basement by 12-year-old entitled, loathsome, racist, and misogynic twats

Ultimately, public health agencies encouraging people to take whatever steps they can to improve their health will have a dramatic effect during the next pandemic. Whether simply by stopping smoking, controlling hypertension or diabetes, or getting up and walking more, anything that makes the population healthier will prepare us better for the next pandemic. The best pandemic preparedness playbook for the United States is making America healthy again.

Jay Bhattacharya's plan for a new pandemic is for everyone to suddenly be healthy.

Health supremacy is a form of fascism. Places outside Sweden that tried that model could not implement it in part or whole and faced spectacular death rates.

For no particular reason….posting former U.S. Attorney General John Mitchell’s mugshot before he went to Federal prison for committing numerous crimes on behalf and or/at the direction of President Nixon including obstruction of justice and conspiracy.

It's a useful reminder that sometimes tech can make a task more efficient for one side (applying for jobs), and more efficient for the other side (writing job adverts), and yet make the system as a whole completely inefficient.

Is AI making job recruitment less meritocratic? We're getting some v interesting research studies on this question now, and the news is... not good. @jburnmurdoch.ft.com & I dive in, in the latest edition of our newsletter The AI Shift www.ft.com/content/e5b7...

Application letters are arriving studded with bold text and a tail of AI detritus at the end of them. 🗑️

Because, again, they *want* to do crackdowns, flag-fucking, migration terror, ugly culture war squealing, belligerent war speeches and scything cuts to benefits, and these are the voters you have to impress and win over to do that in perpetuity. Also, they think libs and progressives are arseholes.

Devastating, sad, enraging...

Brother and sister-in-law of Virginia Giuffre, the hero who stood up against the pedophile and rapist Jeffrey Epstein. They literally broke down in reaction to the rude reaction by Press Secretary Leavitt, who couldn't even pronounce Giuffre's name properly.

65 Years Ago,,, History was made. #RubyBridges

The entire American economy still depends on modern slavery and forced labor

Pam Bondi has now assigned a prosecutor to look into Epstein's ties to Democrats.

If this investigation was legitimate, why wasn't this investigation opened months ago?

If this investigation was legitimate, why isn't everyone mentioned in Epstein's emails being investigated?

Day #298. Resist. Take action!

Listen up!

WE WON. I am *begging* you to take note of who did this. *Not* UCLA admin—they’re still scuttling around behind closed doors, attempting to appease—but FACULTY AND STAFF, led by AAUP.

somehow Trump appears in Epstein's emails more than Epstein himself

This is a very dangerous moment for the country and the world. A cornered rat will do anything to escape.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here
