In one email exchange, Jeffrey Epstein and Olivier Colom, former aide to French President Sarkozy, compared girls to marine life.

Epstein:

“some are like shrimp, you throw away the head and keep the body”

“I can;t even think of the smell of black shrimp. ugh”

p.s. I had not seen that the review recommends gagging ethics committees on these matters. As the ex-Chair of an ethics committee, the idea that a random person with an axe to grind could demand that my committee ignore certain ethical questions is so bizarre 3/4

It's disappointing that academics spend time debunking neo-fascist rubbish seeping into the public consciousness, but here we are. Once again: "Biological sex" is not a simple binary, and it is not scientific or 'clarifying' to assert that it is. 2/4

❌ Turning Point Gets Abortion Talk Cancelled

Turning Point USA, Charlie Kirk’s “anti-cancel culture” frat whose main gig was screaming “free speech on campus!” has successfully pressured Texas Tech to CANCEL a talk by a retired physician who provided third-trimester abortions.

Lest anyone think that not directly abusing children somehow absolves any of Epstein’s associates

Yep. By associating with Epstein et al they normalised them/their abuses, contributed to “friends in high places” impunity and generally created a conducive environment for horrific abuse. No kudos whatsoever for not physically abusing victims themselves. It was a network of abusers and enablers

Nonviolence is, in fact, working. This administration is weaker than it was a year ago. More and more of the public is becoming galvanized against it; its agents are being impeded.

🧵

In Health Affairs Forefront, I wrote about why fertility tracking must be grounded in evidence and reproductive justice - not co-opted by agendas that strip away other reproductive health care.

Musk says X outcry is 'excuse for censorship' The government is urging Ofcom to use all its powers – up to and including an effective ban – against X.

Preventing the sharing of sexualised images of children is “censorship” according to Elon Musk.

“She hurt his ego so he killed her”.
All this, all of it, spirals back to a moment years ago when a woman said “no, don’t” to a man. All of this is about male entitlement and weakness. All of it is on men who got radicalised, who twiddled their thumbs and both sides-ed, who never called out a friend

Masterful Gambit: Musk Attempts to Monetize Grok's Wave of Sexual Abuse Imagery In an attempt to push more people toward a paying subscription, Grok now refuses to generate images in replies. The paywall is pretty leaky, though.

In Musk's latest masterful gambit, instead of putting a stop to the wave of sexual abuse imagery generated by Grok, he's attempting to monetize it instead by only letting paying subscribers generate images in replies. This isn't curbing abuse, it's profiting off it www.404media.co/x-premium-gr...

If you’re a company with presence on X, what are you doing to protect your staff from being exposed to abuse material?

And if solidarity with victims isn’t enough reason, it seems possible you will be breaking the law if you view CSAM even inadvertently by being delivered it via an algorithm (see previous reposts for more on this)

In case that needs expanding a bit, it’s not just that you risk helping monetise abuse, you are also a potential audience for abuse images, compounding harms to the victims

Anyone posting on X now that it is documented as being a site for serious image based abuse, including CSAM risks being seen as complicit in that abuse. Everyone should be off the platform as a matter of urgency
