Wait a minute. The FBI ‘made a mistake’ with warrants that meant they lost the chance to seize the blackmail recordings? That’s doesn’t sound like a mistake.
It’s too convenient for anyone who would have been revealed as a perpetrator of rape *and* as compromised by various foreign intel services.
Shocking that we wouldn't let her come... and claim asylum too. The very smallest gesture against the oppression of women and girls in Afghanistan.
You can do pretty much what you like while singing ‘ridicule is nothing to be scared of’ I guess…
My sister (who is not on bsky to defend herself, but would most likely also stand by it) went for this bad boy:
I was all about this banger when I was seven. Je ne regrette rien.
A victory for Trump, Putin and Netanyahu.
Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov: “To be honest, I don’t even understand now how anyone can call on others to follow the norms and principles of international law. In fact, it no longer exists.”
Several of us did try to point out that you cannot ultimately gain anything from sucking up to Trump. His character is such that you might as well try to make friends with a scorpion.
I have complicated feelings about Huntley’s fate. We shouldn’t have a system unable to protect life. But would I prioritise fixing it when we don’t have a system that protects children or women? And can I bring myself to regret the karma of Couzens getting a taste of the fear he inflicted on Sarah??
Trump doesn’t want Americans to know they’re in danger because he’ll look bad.
The first thing I thought when I read the apology for strikes on neighbours was ‘they are switching to terror attacks then’.
Bride and groom Iranians, lovely people, and I understand why they were there dodging the morality police.
But seated with ex pats for the wedding dinner. Just incredibly dull people with nothing to talk about.
Ended up chatting to the DJ they’d flown in and the secret service security guy.
Pro: upgraded to suite with a butler bc bride’s daddy is very rich.
Cons: Can’t walk anywhere + sand at beach gives you third degree burns.
Company. French pervs discussing me as slab of meat in the swimming pool. Until I answered in French.
Views. half-dead slave labourers lying by the roadside.
I have spent a total of four days in Dubai, for a wedding. It gave me serious High-rise inspired heebie-jeebies. No, thanks…
Mainlining Coke Zero is how I get through this timeline. If they ever take it away I WILL down tools indefinitely.
Someone has mentioned the Mujahideen, haven’t they? And he’s managed to grasp PART of the story…
Speculating on how fast Winston Churchill would have arranged for a leak of some of the choicer Epstein files if he had experienced the misfortune of encountering Trump…
strange things happened in the polymarket markets on the attack on Iran — a lot of very heavy betting, strange odds movements and 12 very suspicious wallets: www.ft.com/content/2883...

NEW POST: A parent has launched a legal challenge against the Schools White Paper's #SEND consultation. @catrionamoore.bsky.social writes about the action's claim of an “irrational, unfair” fundamental change that “significantly weakens" children's legal rights www.specialneedsjungle.com/l...
Government has pledged to wipe 90 per cent of high-needs deficits, yet some councils will remain in financial trouble – and may face a clamour from families and schools to get statutory support before reforms

Sure. Let’s wait for him to kill the next woman. We couldn’t possibly value her life above his chance to finish what he started, then persisted with and escalated over many years. 🙄🙄🙄
Eight years of this:
"In one incident in 2019, Easom dragged Ms Burgess upstairs by the head, banging her against each step.
In 2021, Easom placed a sheet over her head and strangled her."
He could be out before retirement age.
It’s not unlikely she is. But you can be all those things and still not working class. I’m certainly not saying she isn’t. Just that it’s easy to make assumptions on incomplete information.
I classify my childhood as lower middle bc my parents were mortgage-holders. But my dad left school at 14. He got trained in the airforce + did a stint for British Aerospace, bc he was damned if they were going to rent forever. Then the 80s90s happened and the house was worth 37x the purchase price.
It shifts the balance, sure.
But what about men kicked out of expensive schools at 16 living on inheritance? Ppl can have conflicting indicators. Income, wealth, occupation, education, standard of living all tell you things. But are also all time-variant. Snakes and ladders…
It’s best not to assume, isn’t it…
I used to have a plumber who’d been to public school. If you’ve got a private income, you can do whatever tickles your fancy. Plus a gas plumber earns more than quite a lot of graduates do.
Depiction of Aesop’s ‘The dog and his reflection’ showing the dog holding a bone staring at a reflection of himself in a pond of water.
I’ve said this about Labour, but of course it’s the same bone that keeps getting picked up by a different dog each time the one who had it forgets to keep hold of it. They were all warned in Primary school by a literal Aesop’s fable…
If only there was a literal Aesop’s fable to warn them what happens when you obsess about taking and not keeping…
From one pattern recognition Cassandra to another, I see you.
Lisa Nandy says that the government is now considering quitting X.
"The first job of government is to deal with the really serious issues around regulation" ... "But I do think symbols matter - the question you ask is very much up for debate. Its a debate we are having"
