Why the opacity of the Cass review matters, and should concern us When, last August, my colleague Lorna Hobbs and I published a piece critical of the Cass Review, I was accused of making a personal attack on Dr Cass. I was not doing anything of the kind, but I ha…

A good morning to repost my blog about the opacity of the Cass review. Until this is resolved, Dr Cass cannot be regarded as a neutral arbiter in the trans debate.

If only we had some insights into how the rick grow richer, outpacing the rest of us. Maybe one day we'll be able to see inside their world.

Hilary Cass remains profoundly mistaken about social transition, stubbornly maintaining the fiction that it's a health intervention requiring professional gatekeeping. In most cases, it's not.

Dan, did you unintentionally dox someone here?

I think Mike's theology is significantly more evangelical than mine, but it's hard to fault his skills, courage, and ethics.

Mike Winger makes a credible case that Shawn Bolz faked his 'words from God', and platforms the people whose lived he wrecked.

When prophecy is faked using online research... and Christian leaders keep quiet about it. The clearest evidence is about an hour in.

Trust me, the woman of academia are not at all surprised by the number of academic men orbiting Epstein.

Can't stop laughing at Keir Starmer's defence being "I asked the Prince of Darkness 'are you telling me the truth?' and he said 'yes' and now I have discovered that I was LIED to by the Prince of Darkness! The Prince of Darkness LIED to me!"

Prediction: Starmer resigns within a week. The reason... the best case for him is that he chose to trust an untrustworthy person about a very important matter.
That's as good as it can get.
He's toast.

So, in 2013 - Did Richard Branson have dinner with Epstein on the island? And did David Geffen accept an invite to join them?

"Never forget Epstein’s little helpers – the powerful men who knew about his crimes, and helped him out anyway." But sadly, we will forget. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Given that Mandelson knew why Epstein had gone to jail, he would have raised the alarm if he saw very young women with Epstein in later years. Right?

So, Boris Johnson is named in some of the Epstein files. There's an iMessage thread here:

(Any idea of context @paulbrand.bsky.social ?)

Files suggest Epstein had close links to Branson as Starm... Newly released documents turn the spotlight back onto the former prince, whom the prime minister says ‘should be prepared' to speak before the US Congress

Richard Branson said he would “love” to see Jeffrey Epstein again “as long as you bring your harem”

Files suggest Epstein had close links to Branson as Starmer urges Andrew to testify, John Simpson and Jon Ungoed-Thomas

Small and lethal: adapted drones carrying explosives ‘hunt’ civilians in Kherson Ukrainians face new airborne threat that has killed 24 civilians and injured hundreds more since July

Missed this in 2024 about Russia's use of drones:
"They have dropped grenades on buses and people waiting at bus stops, civilians on bikes and queueing for humanitarian aid, or, like Ustenko, just walking home with shopping."

This is excellent. I gained a lot from Lucy and Sam's conversation.

Mark Carney's speech is now only the second most acute analysis of where the world is at right now:

It's 6:30 AM and still dark. I look out the window and see a man pushing a radiator on a trolley. He looks furtive.

Wow, the 49ers game.... The Seahawk have brilliant talent and a great scheme. If Darnold can keep cool, they're gonna win the superbowl.

Trump says US ‘shouldn’t even have an election’ in 2026 Trump expressed frustration that his party could lose the House or Senate in the upcoming midterms

When are people going to learn that Trump doesn't "joke"? He says something, it gets defended as "being a joke" and then he does it.
If he cancels the midterms then any arguments that he isn't a dictator are completely out of the window.
