Please share this information about the Home Office's consultation paper on its proposed changes to immigration/asylum seeker processes. The consultation doc is badly-designed and worded, so I found Amnesty's guidance useful. Thanks.
anyway the consultation shuts tomorrow, one minute to midnight UK time: www.gov.uk/government/c... Amnesty have some good guidance here. Go on: media.amnesty.org.uk/documents/Am...

Genuinely, if you live in the UK you should so the consultation just to find out some of the unbelievable details of what's being proposed. Even with their spin and obfuscation it's shocking
the whole thing is of course completely revolting. 20 YEARS to settlement for refugees? no settlement if you’ve ever had a criminal conviction or a tax debt? 10 YEARS added if you’ve ever received benefits? partners and children on their own routes to settlement? What are you even TALKING about

"We would have lost so much if we'd driven him away" is the justification.
But we lost all those girls. We lost the women they would have become. We lost the work they would have done. Why was his future work so much more valuable than theirs?

This is what I've been working on all summer. It's my first book, called Escape Velocity: Explorations of Digital Culture and its Discontents 2019-2024. It's partially a retrospective of my time doing No Escape but it also features multiple revisions of old work and five entirely new essays.

have been so grateful these last few weeks -- this last decade -- to have an understanding of patriarchy + its hypocrisies + operations. if you've never considered reading feminist theory, if you've intended to but not made time, this is the moment. the world will be made more clear if you do.

jeffrey epstein's apparent association with the likes of bobby kotick, steve bannon, and peter thiel – and his fascination with game design as a means of controlling others – paint an unsettling picture
![If you’re not already seeing the pattern, it’s clear that Epstein and his associates saw games as mechanisms for profit, coercion, and control, a throughline that persists in his association with two key figures in Gamergate and the surrounding bedlam: Peter Thiel and Steve Bannon.
Based on available files, Epstein expressed interest in Thiel and his surveillance company, Palantir, as early as 2012, but correspondence between the two began in 2014. Then, in May 2016, Epstein messaged Thiel saying that he "would have gladly share[d] your expenses for the gawker suit" and invited him to dinner with Noam Chomsky, of all people (it is unclear if this dinner ever took place). That suit, of course, led to the collapse of Gawker Media and the sale of its many sites – of which Kotaku, a major Gamergate target (and the former employer of all five members of Aftermath’s core staff), was one. This would send ripples through the worlds of media and journalism for years to come, leading to a press defanged by the threat of legal annihilation.
The next month, shortly after the June 2016 referendum that kicked off Brexit, Epstein emailed Thiel, saying "brexit, just the beginning" and then, in response to Thiel asking what he meant, "return to tribalism. counter to globalization. amazing new alliances. you and I both agreed zero interest rates were too high, and as i said in your office. finding things on their way to collapse, was much easier than finding the next bargain."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5gdejlhcswjbzraadoltdpps/bafkreiao37med33tdxi7743wqz627lyzzfpfl2istut75g64cl763k6xea@jpeg)

The Google AI preview on “Slop Aesthetics” nailed it for me today — then I looked at the citations and realized it was citing three texts from my “Slop Infrastructures” series and my colleague @heuser.bsky.social’s excellent paper ⬇️ — but none of it was there when I checked on incognito mode!

Not sure what theories are inadequate here. That members of a marginalized group might/can work for the system that marginalizes their people is one of the oldest topics. There’s an infinite amount of literature on it.

i have to emphasize: these guys are really not very smart. they just know when they can materially benefit from a situation or not, because that's the world they live in. to credit them as having machiavellian plans ignores the massive complicity and infrastructure in place that let them do it.

tbh imo it's less this and more that they could see the winds shifting and they knew they could materially benefit from stoking it further because they were in the perfect position to do so. that's what guys like this do. when you've already in a position like that you can do whatever you want.
Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.
