The revelations about Musk, Thiel and Bannon maintaining links with Epstein while he was apparently targeted by Russian intelligence is the missing story

Probably the most important but neglected scandal about Mandelson.
Epstein was close to Peter Thiel. Thiel had secret meetings with Cummings and Johnson before Palantir’s 100m contract
Mandelson’s Global Counsel was pitching Thiel’s Palantir to Starmer.
What a carousel of cronyism

Yes its a golden opportunity.
I hope that we see some publishers explicitly promote and brand human-read audiobooks. I really, really want no part of your lonely robot wonderland.
Fuck this, absolutely fuck this, everyone who loves audiobooks loves their favourite narrators because they are great at their jobs and interpreting the author's words and they make the experience what it is www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...
