This is brilliant.

Who knows, I might have actually ended up as a successful arts journalist if I hadn't had to sign off the dole because I earned Β£60 one week πŸ™„

That's fantastic! We took our kids to family days for years and absolutely love the place. Unfortunately, I do a job in social care that finished at 9pm so I don't get to come to any lectures but will do eventually! Enjoy every moment :)

I know there's a lot going on, but 6k to cover vet bills should be doable, eh? Go on, Rob needs his dog back home and well.

Wtf?

What a useless, lying coward, who never had any intention of being put under scrutiny by everyday voters.
Gorton's Methodist Church held the first by-election hustings in Gorton and Denton tonight. Labour, Greens and others (including Nick Buckley of Advance UK) took part. Reform were billed to take part, but candidate Goodwin withdrew this afternoon (saying he did not believe it would be a fair event)

Truer words never spoken: "They are a bunch of sick fucks."
US Rep. Balint after reviewing unredacted Epstein files:

"They are a bunch of sick fucks. So many people knew." She confirmed Trump lied about kicking Epstein from Mar-a-Lago. Other files show the relationship continued for years.

Good News: Paulina Borsook's "Cyberselish" will be reissued by Tin House books with a new introduction by....me!

I'll post the link when it's ready for pre-orders.

Never underestimate the power of a humble BlueSky thread!
1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).

But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

There are paedophiles *everywhere*, they look no different to anyone else, and they are also prone to secrecy. Only people with so much wealth they believe they are immune don't worry about the consequences. Tell me what good an enquiry would do? What would you expect to come out of it?
February 11, 2026 at 12:26 AM
I don't really know why I'm being tetchy about it to be honest, but... there is a possibility, in a volatile atmosphere, that all sorts of people who are not paedophiles by any stretch of the imagination start getting pulled in to the tabloids because eg: they are gay, when the point is >>

Watch the video!

I had never heard Leontyne Price until, well, about ten minutes ago.
Leontyne Price is 99 years old today! My favorite soprano and (in my opinion) the best Spinto soprano in opera history.

Here is Ms. Price singing β€œTu, Tu Piccolo Idio” from Puccini’s Madama Butterfly. She is so exceptional the audience breaks onto applause during the aria. youtu.be/YL-delzX4QI?...
Leontyne Price-Death of Butterfly. Rare private film.

Well now you've actually written down that you're talking about the friend, I can read it.
February 10, 2026 at 10:21 PM
She's being punished for maintaining contact with someone who was accused of being a paedophile. She should have kept her distance until court cases were decided. And has apologised. If you're suggesting she's a paedophile, I would have some pretty good evidence if I were you.
February 10, 2026 at 10:20 PM
? She was a friend of someone accused, who should have known better and stayed away, and now she's bng punished for it. if you're accusing her of being a paedophile then say so, with evidence.
February 10, 2026 at 10:17 PM
Wow! I hadn't heard her before today. Thank you so much, Trevon!

And a very happy birthday to Ms Price, of course :)

Sounds like your stories of activism need to be collected!
February 10, 2026 at 10:08 PM
Do you think every company or organisation that is found to have someone who is an active paedophile who worked for them (and then subsequently sacked them) should be looked in to? What you're saying makes no sense.

He's a councillor. He's nowhere near govt.

Hillary Cass was invited to NI to review gender services here and her report is now out. She's lying about trans kids again

That's a bit extreme? The Labour Party is no more a harbourer of paedophiles than anyaonstre organisation is
The hard pill to swallow is that there are many active paedophiles, and they don't have horns.

Thankfully they've now all got shoes on!

He's 'that type' of man! He's allowed to say whatever he wants, when he wants!
