In response to my rant yesterday, I was asked how we can make better parks and other public places for teenage girls? What do they want? I have answers to this, so now a positive 🧵.
Starting in Sweden, where this was co-designed by teenage girls.

Facebook plans to put facial recognition in its glasses and they think we’re too stupid to fight back.
Their internal memo: “We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.”

Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”
Nick Fuentes: “The number one political enemy in America is women. … They have to be imprisoned.”

Jeremy Kyle is interviewing Reform MPs at a live press conference
Discussing who might take over from Keir Starmer as PM, Kyle just said: "She's had a makeover, Angela"
Lee Anderson: "She's throwing her money away, isn't she, to be honest with you"
*applause from the audience*

Today I learnt that Howard Lutnick, as well as doing business with Epstein, bought Epstein's New York rape house from him and STILL LIVES IN IT
oh so like they’re literally ALL in those files
(CBS News) - U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has said he had "limited interactions" with Jeffrey Epstein, but documents show they were in business together as recently as 2014.

Perhaps we should experiment with listening to women for a change.
Peter Mandelson – the great genius at the heart of New Labour.
Dominic Cummings – the great genius at the heart of 'Leave'.
Nick Timothy – the great genius at....
Morgan McSweeney – the great....
Steve Hilton...
Can we ban all alleged great geniuses and cast them into outer darkness forever?

Farage was banging on about Turkish barbers, so these lads in Glasgow did this.
It's in Dumbarton Road, if you fancy a trim.

"Rob, you once spent a day following Peter Mandelson round Blackpool. Did you take any pictures that, even at the time, you thought might one day come in handy?"

This Times article really highlights the misogyny of Epstein and others in his circle.
Yes. There has been a good article in the Times, and Marina Hyde was also saying this, but the men are not seeing this at all. Which is profoundly depressing.

Cannot tell you how much I adore this clip from 1941 of women from the Western Isles of the Outer Hebrides singing as they work their Harris Tweed.
It was shot by the Oscar winning cinematographer JACK CARDIFF.

Instead of the hapless BBC political hacks bigging up Farage or seeking his commentary on the performance of the PM, why aren’t they asking him about his relationship with Epstein, his links to Bannon and Epstein and his support for a US President implicated thousands of times in the Epstein files?

Why planning policy matters: a short cautionary tale.
As I keep saying, the new draft National Planning Policy Framework fails to mention safety for women and girls (or indeed to include the word woman at all)
Why this is important is explained by the picture below.

My total favourite of these is Robert McFarlane, who just swans out of the house to go for a walk, at a time in his life when I know he had children under 12. Were I to do that, there would be no swanning out, the three days before would be spent writing lists.
And that is why I wrote The Hard Way

Not pictured: Haruki Murakami’s wife, or indeed whoever is cooking, cleaning, paying bills, running errands, doing the laundry, answering emails, etc

I'm horrified. This image is from the Anthropic lawsuit case, showing the destructive scanning warehouse. I want to know if there's a list of destructively scanned paperbacks. This is NOT the same as the works list harvested via pirate sites, this has got to be a separate lawsuit. 😡#writingcommunity
