A disciple of Brandolini's Law tangled up in media and politics. The only ‘abundance’ is stupidity. Everything else is precious. It’s a pity we’re so bad at the whole ‘equitable distribution’ thing.

Was Epstein an Israeli weapon of mass extortion?
Many of the staunchest Zionists and other Israel-First supporters who have enabled Israel’s regime, including by striving to repress the BDS movement on Israel’s behalf, are now exposed for their intimate relationships with Epstein.

I've just been chatting with Nick Cullinan, the excellent new director of the British Museum, and I'm very relieved to say that the story put by the Daily Telegraph about the BM cancelling the name Palestine is a complete misrepresentation of the facts:
"To reassure you we are not removing mention from Palestine from our labels," Nick told me. "Indeed, we have a display on at the moment about Palestine and Gaza.
"I know this is something our curators have thought long and hard about - as you can imagine. We amended two panels in our ancient Levant gallery last year during a regular gallery refresh, when some wording was amended to reflect historical terms.
"To be honest, the even more frustrating and concerning thing is that I knew nothing about this until yesterday and has only been explained to me this morning. I hadn't even seen that [UK Lawyers for Israel] letter despite asking for it until this morning. I'm disgusted by the whole thing."
The question remains why the Daily Telegraph would put out such a mischief-making story without first fact checking it with the Directors office.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2kf2qj56o2vq7jfaq4x4ogp6/bafkreigxz2aki7ghnn2puukiq3d424ytj6kjl2uhxpwguwbq5n37dd5jee@jpeg)
