Guardian headline - Top lawyer at Goldman Sachs resigns after revelation of Epstein relationship
So far it’s been the complicit women who have paid the price of association / collaboration with Epstein. Complicit women who support & benefit from the patriarchy should realise they / it will always throw you to the wolves when & if it suits. The men will save themselves #killthepatriarchy

The Black-and-Tans Lord Fitzalan, speaking at Bel- fast, made the following remarkable statement :- "Now I want to say one other word in connection with crime in this country, and I hope you will forgive me if I touch on it, but I feel I want to. We know that the force in this country, commonly called the 'Black-and-Tans,' are accused of committing serious and grave crimes. Yes, but it is unjust to say that because crimes have been committed the whole force should be, so to speak, charged as being guilty of those crimes. That, ladies and gentlemen, is not justice (hear, hear). "It is true-I do not deny it for one moment-let us be frank about these things-that crimes, horrible crimes, have been com- mitted by members of this force. You may find explanations, but there is no excuse for any force committing these crimes. Provo- cation? Yes. Explanation? Yes. This force was hastily enlisted and hurriedly set to work, without proper discipline. Mistakes, no doubt, have been made, owing, perhaps, to the great hurry. None the less, these crimes have been committed, but not by the force as a whole (hear, hear). "And I very much doubt-and I shall be very much surprised-if
Lord Fitzalan gave this stirring defence of the Black and Tans, who should not all be tarred with the same brush.
Why shouldn't they, I hear you ask? Well, it's not Lord Fitzalan's job to educate you.

Tough ol' time for art sales of late and I depend solely on it for a living, so if you like anything I do, I'd appreciate if you'd keep me in mind when buying gifts for friends or family. If you hate what I do, I'd appreciate if you'd keep me in mind when buying gifts for enemies or nemeses.
For the record: as of right now, the Grok app is still doing all the things they’ve said it is stopping, for users with free/unpaid accounts.

On this general topic: the Minister seems very quiet about the whole Grok/CSAM generation engine debacle. Has he asked CnAM what they are doing about it or has he asked AGS if they are investigating the generation and distribution of CSAM by a company based in Ireland?
Maybe a journalist can ask?
