What bothers me most about the way people are discussing the Epstein files is that most seem to be treating the matters they address as things that occurred in the past, for which justice must be done, and not things continuing to happen, with children in urgent danger.

AI experts say it's only in it's infancy.
This is like asking an 8 year old to sort his wife's photos.
As he's an expert it's possible he didn't think of 15 years of his wife's stuff as precious.
The fact we keep photos online anyway is a shitbox waiting to happen. Our great grandkids won't know us

"Creating a poorer, more vulnerable migrant class of workers who have no long-term stake in our society worsens wages & conditions for everyone & increases resentment towards immigrants."

@zoejardiniere.bsky.social is spot-on on why Government's hostile migration plans hurt us all.

Labour is creating a vulnerable migrant underclass
Chasing Reform on immigration will only entrench an unequal system and increase resentment

To be fair though- I don't teach stand up I teach writing. Also I have too much private dirt on you.
Which sounds glib but actually I might have pushed you to talk about things I already know rather than let you lead.
Also Al is wonderful, also very thoughtful.

There's no reason to accept this as normal, though. Much of Starmer and Labour's unpopularity is not misfortune but his own doing. Mandelson was a choice. Consistently pursuing policy positions designed to appeal to people who will not vote for you - and alienating core supporters - is a choice.
Starmer's reported condition - incredibly unpopular, shorn of authority, probably un-reelectable and yet will stagger on for want of an alternative - is just the new normal of how Britain is governed. It was also true for two-thirds of May's premiership, half of Johnson's and all of Sunak's.
