we said all along that they wanted Gawker dead not because we embarrassed a pro wrestler but because the Epstein story is one Gawker was covering a decade before most other people caught up & was just one of many stories exposing powerful people and their misdeeds

Among the batch of newly released emails from Jeffrey Epstein: Epstein telling Peter Thiel he would “gladly share…expenses for the Gawker suit.”

This was sent the day after @rmac.bsky.social and @mattdrange.bsky.social reported in Forbes that Thiel was behind the lawsuit that would bankrupt Gawker

ohhhhhh okay so what we've learned from the epstein mail drop is that the entirety of the fascistic culture war since the 2010s onward was basically wholesale consolidated through the anglosphere bourgeois old boys club network of pedophile rapists

So apparently I was right to shittalk m00t this week because it's been revealed that his boneheaded decision to establish /pol/ and subsequently ruin the website was allegedly born out of a one-on-one meeting with Jeffery Epstein.

NEW ANALYSIS: UK household electricity bills have risen over the last 5 years.

BUT: Despite frequent claims that net zero is to blame: 2/3 of the increase is because of high gas prices shows new @ukerc.bsky.social report.

Arguably without renewable energy the UK would see even higher bills today.

The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions.

It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.
The Legislation Upon winning a general election, a Reform government under Prime Minister Nigel Farage will: 1) Leave the ECHR 2.) Repeal the Human Rights Act and replace it with a British Bill of Rights. 3.) Pass The Illegal Migration (Mass Deportation) Bill: This Bill will: Create a legal duty to remove illegal migrants for the Home Secretary The Bill opens with a blunt obligation for the Home Secretary: "The Secretary of State shall ensure the removal from the United Kingdom of each person who does not have extant leave to remain and is not an Irish citizen or otherwise protected by regulations made under this Act." The following parts of the legislation are introduced on an emergency basis, with an in-built sunset clause after 5 years: Disapply the 1951 Refugee Convention, the UN Convention Against Torture, the Council of Europe Anti-Trafficking Convention (ECAT) Derogation is justified under the Vienna Convention doctrine of state of necessity: Britain faces a national emergency in which uncontrolled illegal migration undermines public order. These treaties will otherwise be used by activist judges to frustrate deportations, even after the repeals of the HRA and ECHR. Create Detention Power Without Hardial Singh Constraints This means illegal migrants can be detained until they are deported. Activist lawyers routinely use Hardial Singh to secure their client's bail, after which the client absconds. If you came to the UK illegally, you are ineligible for asylum. End of story All asylum claims will become inadmissible if made by a person within the Act's scope. If you came to the country illegally, you are ineligible for asylum in the UK. This strips the Home Office, the immigration tribunals and the higher courts of jurisdiction to even consider claims. A claim that cannot be considered cannot suspend removal and therefore, cannot delay a flight. Re-entering after deportation and destroying ID becomes a serious criminal offence Re-entry after deportation will be… The Operational Plan We will create an enforcement unit called UK Deportation Command, including an Illegal Migrant Identification Centre - harnessing cutting edge data fusion A Reform government will create a cutting edge enforcement data centre to relentlessly identify and detain all illegal migrants in the UK. Using powers granted by the new legislation, it will automatically share data between the Home Office, NHS, HMRC, DVLA, banks and the police. It will power bulk warrants, including mandatory biometric capture during any police encounter. Each power addresses a failure mode observed over the past decade - for example, banks and GP surgeries unaware of a customer's status, or overstayers slipping through because a warrant covered only a single property. Secure Immigration Removal Centres (SIRC) will be built rapidly to detain up to 24,000 Detention capacity for up to 24,000 will be created within 18 months. The Home Office will build Secure Immigration Removal Centres. This will be modular accommodation built in remote parts of the country. Conditions are basic but not punitive: prefabricated two-person rooms, canteen catering, on-site medical suites. Robust perimeters and internal movement controls prevent escapes. This enables detention-on-arrest: no more bail. This capacity would allow for up to 24,000 illegal migrants to be deported per month. Initial Voluntary Return Window A six-month Assisted Voluntary Return window precedes large-scale raids. Illegal migrants will be offered a financial incentive to self-deport. An app will be launched to facilitate this. The Deportation Flights The Home Office will scale up charters to 5 flights per day. To guard against last-minute aircraft unserviceability, the RAF will keep one Voyager aircraft on six-hour 'hot-spare' readiness. If a commercial charter breaks down, detainees can still be flown out that night, preserving operational integrity. The legal reset will mean activist lawyers will no longer be able preven…

Currently working on one of my favorite pieces ever: The Hater’s Guide To Oracle. This company is so stupid and Larry Ellison has bet the farm on OpenAI having $300 billion to give it over five years. Larry Ellison is H.R. Geiger’s Jerry Stiller and he’s rigged his company to blow
Did I mention that Oracle took on $56 billion of debt to build data centers specifically for OpenAl? Or that the banks who invested in these deals don't seem to be able to sell off the debt? Let me put it really simply: - Larry Ellison's wealth is almost entirely tied up in Oracle stock. - Oracle's stock is tied to the company "Oracle," which is currently destroying its margins and annihilating its available cash to buy GPUs to serve a customer that cannot afford to pay it. - Oracle has taken on ruinous debt that can only be paid if this customer, that cannot afford it and needs to raise money from an already-depleted venture capital pool, actually pays it. Oracle's stock has already been punished for these debts, and that's before OpenAl fails to pay for its contract. - Oracle now owns part of one of its largest cloud customers - TikTok - that loses billions of dollars a year, and the US entity says, per Bloomberg, that it will "retrain, test and update the content recommendation algorithm on US user data," guaranteeing that they'll fuck up whatever makes it useful, reducing its efficacy for advertisers. Larry Ellison's entire financial future is based on whether OpenAl lives or dies. If it dies, there isn't another entity in the universe that can actually afford (or has interest in) the scale of the compute Oracle is building. We are setting up for a very funny and chaotic situation where Oracle simply runs out of money, and in the process blows up Larry Ellison's fortune. However much influence Ellison might have with the administration, Oracle has burdened itself with debt and $248 billion in data center lease obligations - costs that are inevitable, and are already crushing the life out of the company (and the stock). The only way out is if OpenAl becomes literally the most-successful cash-generating company of all time within the next two years, and that's being generous. This is not a joke. This is not an understatement. Sam Altman holds Larry Ellison's futur…

They have created and followed a philosophy that makes the ability to imagine opponents as thinking and rational beings impossible. It is a systematic dehumanization of the out group and a paired practice and belief that there are no sincere morals, only teams.

Anyone going to a protest now (hell, even just observing; not protesting) has done the math: they're there with the understanding that they might be killed.
It literally did not occur to ICE that their victims might have courage.

I'm yet to be convinced that Reform UK isn't organised around degenerative populist-conspiratorial-authoritarian moral-epistemic systems, which are based on performative and simulated verification, deliberation, and accountability, just like MAGA.

Democratic politicians have, though, pursued growth in GDP at the expense of other values. One response to @jburnmurdoch.ft.com pessimistic scenario is refocus on those values, combined with egalitarianism, sufficiency and quality of life. Not "it's the economy, stupid" but "it's the the society"

Lots of pullable quotes in this article, but here’s one from a couple of married septuagenarians in a fancy house out in the suburbs.
Text from the Atlantic article linked in the quoted post. It reads: Dan and Jane resisted the idea that they had become political. A better word, Jane said, was humanist. Their anger was unmistakable as they told me that the Trump administration was violating basic Christian principles. "It became clear very quickly that ICE is the Proud Boys, the Boogaloo boys. They've given them uniforms and let them run wild," Dan said. He attended a legal-observer training—which happened to have been on the day Good was killed—and now the couple delivers groceries regularly to immigrant families in Minneapolis. This past Friday, Dan joined thousands of others at a protest in Minneapolis, where his fingers were frostbitten in the -9 degrees Fahrenheit weather.
