Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

The will of mainstream media to normalize Donald Trumps blatant racist remarks and bizarre behaviour is what’s killing the USA. Until ABC, NBC, and CBS start exposing his fabrications and insane rhetoric for what they are, you’re fucked.

Concorde's first commercial flight was in 1976 and it was retired in 2003, or 27 years.

Flight of the Conchords have been going since 1998 and are now in their 28th year.

Flight of the Conchords has now lasted longer than the flights of the Concorde.

Just because good news is worth celebrating:

There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection.

HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.

A lot of racists in UK media & politics are currently limbering up to hold Donald Trump to an infinitely lower moral standard than they did Gary Lineker.
Starting with Farage, inevitably…

Thankyou for reading
Have just finished reading the excellent Empireworld by @sathnam.bsky.social in one gulp. Not a comfortable read but well evidenced and balanced. Thank you for writing it.

I spent six hours driving to and from my parents' house today, listening to "Empireworld" by @sathnam.bsky.social . It's an absolutely cracking listen/read; and objectively it's incredibly balanced and -well- objective. Highly recommended.
