Even if they didn’t personally rape anyone, they permitted it.

They condoned it.

They allowed a predator to access more prey.

They knew who and what he was and they went along with it.

Silence is complicity. Burn it all down.

It doesn’t.

A good man doesn’t look the other way when someone is being abused.

A good man gets help.

A good man doesn’t let the predator continue to harm his prey.

Her case is a perfect example of why we should have no mercy for those in the Epstein files.

Gisele Pelicot’s husband drugged her and solicited men on the internet to rape her.

Some men said “No”.

Some saw her & walked away.

None of them helped her.

None went to the police.

They stopped short of raping an unconscious woman & believed that made them “good men”

Faculty, students push University of Minnesota to denounce ICE and killing of alumnus Alex Pretti
It illustrates the complex balancing act for colleges and universities in responding to ICE actions.

Today's reason you should vote for the North Auckland worm for #BugOfTheYear is that, as well as being enormous, it's very hairy. Those hairs, called chaetae, help it move through the soil. bugoftheyear.endo.org.nz

If you really don't like the idea of an enormous worm, it lives metres underground - like more than 3 metres down! - which is why you'll probably never encounter one. #BugOfTheYear bugoftheyear.endo.org.nz

It beggars belief that the Reserve Bank is on the verge of tightening policy again and the Government is keeping policy tight. 'We now have nearly 1 in 7 adults on a working age benefit.' Full employment? Yeah...nah.
MSD have been delaying their December benefits data release due to data processing issues but they shared headline numbers yesterday. If the data is correct, this is a huuuge increase. We now have nearly 1 in 7 adults on a working age benefit. Link in ALT. (🧵 1/n)

I’m especially furious at the cultural norm of treating women and girls like objects this week because someone I love is navigating her daughter being assaulted by a boy at school.
We have to change the narrative from “boys will be boys” to “boys and men will be held accountable for their actions.”

The only question that really interests me about Bezos gutting the Washington Post is whether he did it of his own initiative, or whether those surrounding the tangerine fascist encouraged him to do so, since a less well-informed public suits their project.
Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.

When a ‘Labour’ think tank hires a PR company to dig dirt on journalists asking questions about how it is funded, the horseshoe between the hard right of the Party and the Tories is close to being a circle.

McSweeney & Starmer at the heart of the rot.

It is not hyperbole to say that the upcoming NZ Post closures WILL lead to many people, who should not be driving, being forced to drive to more distant postal services. This will include many elderly who currently can walk or use mobility aids to access their nearby post shop.
A big part of the reason we need to massively expand transit systems (in terms of geography, capacity, and frequency) is that there are just a ton of people who should not be allowed to drive
Three people are dead and seven are injured after a car driven by an elderly woman crashed into a grocery store in Los Angeles, blocks from UCLA, fire officials say.
