As an American, I echo the no. Do NOT regress by converting to the U.S. system. You will regret it as least as much as Brexit.

This can be the site for breaking news, if journalists choose to break news on it. It is as simple as that. And that is not utopian. It is precisely what has happened the last week or so. If you weren't on BlueSky, you were late to each development.

No-one seems to have noticed, but many of the core developments in the Mandelson/Epstein story these last few days have been broken on this website. @pickardje.bsky.social and @petergeoghegan.bsky.social are both posting each breaking development on BlueSky, not X.

Jamie Raskin said he reviewed an email sent from Epstein to co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell that was a forwarded conversation between Epstein’s lawyers and lawyers for Donald Trump.

The DOJ (illegally) redacted Trump's name in the public files.

Here is my conclusion after sitting through Maxwell's deposition with her refusing to answer a single question about the men who raped underage girls, saying she would only do so for clemency.

She must immediately be sent back to the maximum security prison where she belongs.

Ossoff: We would be naive not to expect dirty tricks. This man tried to steal the presidency when he lost it the first time. The best insurance against dirty tricks is landslide margins of victory.

Gun Owners of America is lobbying Congress to pass the SAVE Act, which would require a majority of Americans to show a passport to register to vote.

But GOA opposes any law that requires showing a drivers license to buy a gun.

These are not serious people.

Not really a sports guy. So I woke up this morning and just for shits and grins I was going to check who won the Super Bowl, I didn't need to. Turns out it was Bad Bunny.

Since the end of WWII the US has squandered hundreds of trillions of (borrowed) dollars perfecting our cannibalistic 'automobile habitat'. We've dehumanized- and bankrupted ourselves, both at the same time. It's not state capacity that is gone it is capacity in general.

For what?

I hear from people who are surprised I'm still talking about ICE, they thought they'd withdrawn from MN.

No, they have not. In some respects they've escalated.

Some asked why MN is a target. Are there are there a lot more illegals or criminals here?

No, it's not about that. It's about a grudge.

Breaking MS NOW:

Some of the Epstein docs the DOJ invited members of Congress to view are STILL redacted, despite promises otherwise.

Raskin says DOJ's reading room has just four computers. It would take seven years to get through the files in the current conditions established by the DOJ.
Lawmakers say some Epstein files remain redacted despite DOJ's pledge
Reps. Jamie Raskin and Jared Moskowitz told reporters key documents retained redactions despite the DOJ's pledge that members of Congress could view the full files.

I do have to feel bad for anyone who uses Discord as part of their work or art, like media creators who have a Discord you get access to for being a patron. Even if they have no 18+ policies or anything people might drop from using Discord just because of this nonsense, which means less engaged fans

Well. If they require it and prohibit using voice calls without it I'm off discord. I'm not really using discord much anyways. I bet there are other solutions. Like Skype ... Or Skype is dead. Shit. Slack probably works.
