Today, in News that EVERYONE knew was coming.

Naming and prosecuting the rapists would be unfair to the rapists?!

47% of people think immigration is primarily illegal. There were 4% irregular arrivals in March

New YouGov polling. A monumental failure of our political class to educate, a monumental failure of our media to report fairly, for a generation

The problem is far bigger than Jeffrey Epstein | Rebecca Solnit Treating the scandal as an aberration misunderstands the global epidemic of violence against women

"One of the reasons the epidemic of violence against women is so unacknowledged is because cases like these are talked about individually, and often treated as though they are shocking aberrations rather than part of a pervasive pattern that operates at all levels of society."

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.

The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.

Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

Research from @climatebarometer.bsky.social found that 73% support solar farms in their area. But only 29% think other people in their area support it.

65% support Net Zero, but 70% underestimate that that support.

The propaganda is working really well.

"the blob" 🙄

WOW! This is incredible! 😮

And that's fine. But the racists will still identify her as Nigerian, a foreigner, who doesn't belong, and has no right to be here — perhaps that should concern her?

It would be lovely if people could go and protest outside her house in Dubai. But, I doubt protests like that would be permitted at all in Dubai. 🙄

Looking at the world through "tech" eyes:

It was bad enough when he started a tariff war without understanding how tariffs work... now it seems, he doesn't understand how numbers work.

‘Self-termination is most likely’: the history and future of societal collapse An epic analysis of 5,000 years of civilisation argues that a global collapse is coming unless inequality is vanquished

"People are fundamentally egalitarian but are led to collapses by enriched, status-obsessed elites."

Global collapse is coming unless inequality is vanquished. But disaster is not inevitable: every one of us has agency. USE IT.

One regulatory change I'd like to see around AI is the requirement that it has to tell you it's AI if you directly ask it.

Hard code that shit in and do not let anyone running a chatbot prompt their way out of it... or face massive fines.

One of the twenty printmakers Printmakers interviewed for #ReframingWomenPrintmakers is Gail Brodholt, known for her fantastic depictions of London life.

MUST WATCH: A Texas voter just burned Trump and the GOP to ash.

Trump cheated on golf, his taxes, his wives, and the Constitution — Now he’s pimping out the Republican Party like a brothel.

And every last coward in that room is lining up to get fucked — Not sexually. Philosophically.

I remember in 2017-18, when he was insisting there'd be a "tech solution" for the Irish border... before it became clear that the tech required didn't exist, then he pretended he'd never said it.

Can Axios and CNN say that Trump is in steep cognitive decline now, or so we have to wait for the book in 2029?

Hey @theguardian.com @annabetts.bsky.social 👋
"Confidante"?!
"involved in sex offender's crimes"??

Trump, "Her numbers were wrong"

Sen. Murphy, "Cooking economic numbers to make the regime look good, that's what the Soviets did"

Heartbreaking.
And... just... why?

The replies to this post, even on here, even moreso on X, are so depressing to me. We live in a world where cities have never been safer and a minority of people are denying themselves a lot of delightful experiences because they’ve gone mad online.

The Fuck Your Feelings crowd is operating on 100% feelings.

My partner told me he was first called the n-word when he was 7.

He didn't know what it meant. He went home and asked his mum, and she sat at the kitchen table and cried.

What's wrong with these people? Sending hugs to your son.

My stepdaughters have not experienced it, but I dread that day. 🙁
