Hoocoodanode the giant environment destroying rape culture theft machine would do rape culture shit?!

BROOKE GLADSTONE: The Inquiry brought up the case of Denholm Elliott's daughter - PAUL McMULLAN: Oh, yeah - BROOKE GLADSTONE: - which is one case that you truly do regret. PAUL McMULLAN: I do, yeah. After Denholm died, she hit rock bottom, was allegedly doing methadone. And although she had, you know, the half-million-pound flat that Denholm had bought her, she didn't have any money to get her ten-pound bag in the morning. So she'd get up and go begging at the tube station. Here was a young girl crying out to be helped, and she met a police officer who didn't help her but rang up the News of the World and asked for money because he couldn't believe that this is the same girl who'd walked down the red carpet behind Eddie Murphy with Denholm Elliott, you know.

BROOKE GLADSTONE: And you offered her 50 pounds - PAUL MCMULLAN: Yeah. BROOKE GLADSTONE: - if she would come to your place and have sex. So you led her into prostitution, which she wasn't in that space for. PAUL McMULLAN: No, indeed. But she was in such a bad place that someone offering her 50 pounds for sex. I mean, that's five bags.

BROOKE GLADSTONE: So how do you justify that? Yes, she was a drug addict, yes, she was begging. Why push her that extra step? Why take pictures of her topless? PAUL McMULLAN: I was keen. It was in my first year. I wanted to impress Piers Morgan, who was my boss at the time, and just wanted to say, not only have I caught this girl begging, but l've got pictures of her topless and I've got her offering me sex for 50 quid. How great am I? BROOKE GLADSTONE: This is a pretty dehumanizing enterprise, not just for Jennifer Elliott, but for you, yourself. PAUL McMULLAN: Yeah, that's why I feel terrible about it, not just 'cause she killed herself afterwards, but I, I actually liked her as a person.

Sharing from a friend, a passage from the Leveson Inquiry regarding the British actor Denholm Elliott, who died of AIDS in 1992. Three years after her death, the News of the World journalist Paul McMullan did the following to his daughter—neither a celebrity nor even someone of public interest.

Yeah how's the genocide going?

Solar and batteries

Pretty amazing considering how much hate is being thrown at the LGBTQ+ community.

Don't forget the right wing Catholics, they've been in this since the beginning.

This whole fight over transgender stuff happening on X is so weird to me. The most notable thing about trans issues in the last 5 years has been the enormous, coordinated anti-trans activism campaign across the right, aided by moral cowards in the center.

But that campaign is *never mentioned*.

And just the ability to grow food. There's going to be catastrophic die off from heat and food scarcity.

An El Niño is brewing And with it the next, pivotal, chapter of the climate fight.

One thing that may dramatically shake up our political life on this planet is the advent of a strong new El Niño. (Also our, you know, life life)

I hope people are starting to realize how much elite media is in bed with the corrupt politicians and billionaires at this point but I've been hoping for this for a long time

This is so predictable and gross.

Thanks Holly

Hi Holly, do you have a link to more info on the raped trans woman? Thanks

If you want to understand why the BBC's stance on trans rights - only platforming cis people (and only those with a sceptical perspective) - is so outrageous imagine if it only platformed men talking about women's rights (and only those with a sceptical perspective).

Says Apartheid Clyde.

But Sam Walton thought she was great.

Let's face it the only thing Schumer cares about is Israel.

Fingers crossed this continues.

Thinking of the 5 right wing Catholic members of the US Supreme Court.

another guy who never protested before radicalized to the point of tears by watching masked ICE agents terrify children in his neighborhood

the Republicans are not ready or mentally capable of comprehending the backlash they have generated

Soulless media can't figure out why soulless PM is unpopular? What a surprise.

Don't they stay positive for 5 to 10 days after recovery?

#Canada should do a similar inquiry.

YouTube video by The Tech Report AI Bubble: How the data centre crisis risks triggering a financial crash | Ed Zitron

I joined the Times Tech Report to talk about how AI data centers are the next financial crisis. Their massive up-front costs and burdensome debt require perfection - constant tenancy and no missed payments - and capacity is being built for demand that doesn't exist.

YouTube video by The Breach Toronto Police scandal reveals: Your personal info is not safe with the cops

A police corruption scandal in Toronto once again raises the concern of cops’ access to our personal information.

From street checks to stalking, @desmondcole.bsky.social Cole looks back on how personal data in police hands is ripe for abuse. youtu.be/gJ2gbh3IUkE

Would this crash the current AI bubble economy? Data center scaling has kept the market from crashing but the actual AI LLMs aren't contributing to economic growth it's the hardware to power them. Take away the data centers scaling, someone needs to demonstrate AI can actually make money.

Can we rely on worldwide oil and gas demand decline to stop Canadian oil and gas? This industry will never submit and we'll keep giving them billions on useless things like CCS projects. Maybe Canada needs to stop funding this industry and concentrate on electrifying the rest of the economy?
