In case this is of interest...

Someone saved all of the Epstein emails from the releases and set up a Gmail clone site that you can scroll as if you were in Jeffery's Gmail.
You can search by contacts, photos and even flight history.

A modest proposal: any company or organisation that has a telephone system with a hold or queuing system, must pay as a tax an amount equal to the National Minimum Wage (approx 20p / minute) for every minute every caller is on hold.

Okay, this must absolutely have been made with some kind of generative AI, but it's not pretending to be real, it's hella funny/deadly serious and just superb. (I especially love the tough walrus smoking a cigar while driving a fishing boat 😂 ) Kudos to the makers!

Whatever you might think of Maduro, the seizure and kidnapping of a head of state takes us to a very dark place. Vast, arbitrary, extra-legal power, which could be exercised almost anywhere, regardless of the character of the target government.
