A Look Inside Jeffrey Epstein’s Manhattan Lair

Framed photos of Mr. Bannon — including a mirror selfie snapped by Mr. Epstein — were kept in at least two rooms in the mansion

My favourite Kurt Vonnegut quote is from Breakfast of Champions:
"As I approached my fiftieth birthday, I had become more and more enraged and mystified by the idiot decisions made by my countrymen.

Awesome. Funny. And so true

"This was the reason Americans shot each other so often: It was a convenient literary device for ending short stories and books."

Our life is like a play. In our 20s and 30s we’re hoping to make a grand entrance. In our 40s and 50s trying to stay on stage. And in our 60s and 70s hoping to make a graceful exit

Reminder that countries with national identity cards *also* have big debates about immigration and asylum

The idea of ID cards has been revived – thanks to immigration A once controversial idea is now being seen as a silver bullet for Britain’s illegal immigration problem

I assume the Observer’s new-found appetite for billionaire-funded big tech solutionism is naivety not nefariousness but given the paper is *still* refusing to disclose its investors who knows.

The Telegraph ran this same piece a week ago but with more balance

The Economic Case for a UK Digital ID The Economic Case for a UK Digital ID

This front page framing ‘the real immigration crisis…& the solution’ reads like a report from Tony Blair’s Institute. Because it is.

institute.global/insights/eco...

Digital ID is a Blair obsession. ‘Solving immigration’ is simply the latest spin on it.

But it *is* spin. Blair has taken hundreds of millions of tech money to push a corporate AI agenda on Starmer’s government with huge success. This is part of a vast massively resourced big tech lobbying op

This is a billionaire-funded Tony Blair lobbying project being funnelled unchallenged onto the front page of a national newspaper.

Top model who jumped to her death from her Wall St. apartment building had flown on Epstein’s jet as a teen: court docs A top model who jumped to her death from her Wall Street apartment building had previously been one of the teen girls flown to Jeffrey Epstein’s private island, newly unsealed court documents show.…

In his book, Peter Pomerantsev mentions Ruslana Korshunova, a supermodel who died mysteriously at the age of 20 by falling out of her New York apartment balcony. As became known later, she had visited Epstein’s island as a teen.

I personally think Trump is more afraid of what the Epstein files can reveal about their joint Russian financial connections (remember they fell out in a bidding war over the Palm Beach mansion and Russian oligarch Dmitry Rybolovlev) rather than direct sex kompromat

Gift article debunking all this Clinton Russia crap.

It’s an indefensible appointment.

“This isn’t a political mis-step but a deliberate signal.
A regressive statement of priorities that places a man with a criminal conviction (related to his editorship of The Sun) and a catalogue of ethical failures in a position of considerable power and influence

Durham’s Debunking of the ‘Clinton Plan’ Emails, Explained

So Patel and Gabbard’s whole claim of a Russia Hoax from Clinton and Obama is based on emails which were proved to be a Russian concoction by a Trump appointee years ago?

Has there ever been anything more pathetic than this? (Except Klarenberg and Grayzone?)

Former Russian president Medvedev posts one of his usual a drunk tweets rambling about war with the US if sanctions are imposed so Trump sends 2 nuclear subs off Russia as a provocation. His foreign policy is even more unhinged and dangerous than his trade policy.

The whole edifice of modern society - from brain surgery to air traffic control - is built around accuracy and facts.

But they want to build it around the ‘free speech’ of autocrats, kleptocrats and other outliers of hoof wankerdom

It will all crash down

Trump Today:

1. Made deal to move Maxwell to cushy min security Club Fed facility.

2. Had worst jobs report come out in a decade.

3. Said report was rigged & fired govt employee who made the report.

4. Moved 2 nuke subs off Russia to threaten them.

5. Flew to a golf outing.

🔴 Starmer & The Sun: An Appointment that Shows Everything that Is Wrong with Power & the Press in Britain

The PM has signalled the direction of his Government by hiring a former Sun Editor – who has a criminal conviction under the Sexual Offences Act – as a communications advisor, writes Emma Jones

How far the Tories have moved. Impossible to imagine Badenoch or Jenrick saying that.

A must-read: one of @sjwrenlewis.bsky.social's very best pieces (and that's a high bar).

Exclusive: Inside the Diss hotel – a refugee’s view of the anti-refugee crowd outside Families fleeing danger thought they'd found safety, until protesters gathered outside their hotel, chanting for their removal

"Why do we have to leave? What have we done wrong?"
A child’s question from inside the hotel.

A powerful first-hand account from an asylum seeker besieged in Diss.

@eastangliabylines.co.uk

A very good article by @sjwrenlewis.bsky.social. IMHO & my limited knowledge of Labour, many of its current travails are the result of Maurice Glasman's objectives to promote a so-called 'blue labour'. Starmer could do worse than to ignore MacSweeney/Glasman.
