The calls to this fake ICE tip line, set up by Ben Palmer, are incredible. This one is a teacher who wants a small child (from their kindergarten) and their family deported.

Many of the callers really don't like it when Ben simply reflects back what they're saying

If you ever find yourself wondering how things like the Epstein story happened, consider the mid-level newspaper editor who admitted in a public judicial inquiry that he destroyed a woman’s life and drove her to suicide to try and impress Piers Morgan.

I sometimes worry I go a bit too hard with my resentment of British newspaper journalists as a class, but then I am reminded of stuff like this and am reaffirmed in my belief that we simply do not loathe them enough.

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.

What the fuck is this reporting?? We cannot keep doing this. This is *noise*. This is *not signal*! This is the kind of margin of error natural deviation in month-on-month figures that you would expect. It means *nothing*. You cannot adjust spending up or down on the basis of any of this stuff.

Busting out a Sigs classic

youtu.be/hYbrGIaT6kI?...

Smashed out 11 hours of sleep again last night.

Looking extremely like his father.

Heeeeere's hoping!

Waking up and this being the first thing I see is... Wild.

Some context.

Solidarity with Stefan Renna.

The Labour party is addicted to cruelty, and they particularly despise kids.

Listen, that rotten manager who stood by, defended and lauded #5 is still there.

Of course it's nothing but cowardly hours.

Could a tech loyalist identify social media addiction trial jurors by wearing artificial intelligence facial recognition glasses in court?

That appeared to be Judge Kuhl’s concern when she addressed the gallery before jurors returned from recess in Mark Zuckerberg’s testimony.

Doing some photography reading and the whole article is only using AI pictures lmao

That Goodwin would attract like-minded racists, bigots and neo-Nazi adjacent lowlifes was predictable.

That the BBC, Times, etc would entirely ignore this...was also predictable.

When I lived in the old house we had a body wash up on the beach and a family out there does not know what happened. One world, no borders. Fortress Europe kills and kills and kills.

With the way that production was shaping things up:
A) that Chippy Tea choice was not a shock
B) that queen, who had given others shit about their lipsyncs, was gonna flop

Response Following a search of our records, we have determined that the information you have requested is not held by the Equality and Human Rights Commission.

FOI reveals the EHRC holds zero minutes of meetings with trans-led organisations in the past 5 years.

This is the UK’s 'equality' regulator.

Trans voices are not important enough for the EHRC to keep a record of what was said. This should be a headline in all the papers.

Fuck AI reason #739

Remember, they make doomerist predictions hidden as threats about these things happening if there's even a hint of the left doing anything in politics. But leave neoliberals and capitalism alone and shortages and a breakdown quickly occurs under their darling pet projects.

Juno Birch challenge? #UKvTW

Was hoping for the new Intrepid Heroes teaser drop on Wednesday, but Dropout 24/7 is interesting enough.

I have to admit, it is kind of wild to see the US say this so openly.

It used to be that the US would say they were doing this because of "human rights" concerns, not that they were ever concerned.

Now they boast about imposing a humanitarian threat to starve the people / enact regime change.

Savannah teacher killed in crash by man fleeing from ICE According to the Chatham County Police Department, Monday morning’s fatal crash was the result of a chase between Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and a suspect.

ICE killed a teacher in Georgia today when they chose to chase a man who posed no danger and had no criminal history.

A humidifier on the sink in front of a bathroom mirror. The combination of small "on" and "full" lights above a wide curved vent make a pleasant smiling face and on the back of the humidifier, which can be seen in the mirror, another wide curved air vent and the two screws holding it together above it make a horrified face.

Me whenever I have to communicate with other human beings #anxiety

Feels like mental health discourse has never been more ubiquitous and none of it is about improving care and access to care. They're going to cleave mental health out of the NHS aren't they?
