A lot of politicians say it’s not the crime but the cover up that gets you.

Probably not in this case.
Epstein’s brother Mark on News Nation: “They’re sanitising these files.

“There’s a facility in Winchester, Virginia where they’re scrubbing the files to take Republican names out.”

Apparently now Reeves has axed the tax changes, people are briefing that it was just a rebalance of tax and NI so no ones take home pay would change (unless you are a landlord), it would give a bunch to the exchequer and it would promote growth.

COMMUNICATE THIS BETTER!

Looking forward to Labour having to double down on this already soulless position over Christmas.
Asked if Keir Starmer believes British people want to "see refugee children pulled out of school and deported after 10 years in this country”, his spokesman says that “what the British public wants and what this government was elected on a mandate to deliver was to secure our borders"

Maybe it’s just my algorithm but I’ve seen multiple posts across multiple platforms musing on how Your Party can pull this back.

Which I’m sure is possible. Just need to get around to picking a name first, eh?

Pratchett's the 13th bestselling SFF author by value in the UK this year despite, obviously, nothing new for some time. Former list topper She Who We Don't Name has slumped to 157th

Maas is top, and has 6 of the top ten books which is impressive
"This analysis has, so far, neglected the Science Fiction category as it is now by far SFF’s junior partner with just two titles in the 2025 Top 50." www.thebookseller.com/bestsellers/...

Here is a Christmas gift months in the making: an RF rip of the greatest magic special in history. Ricky Jay and His 52 Assistants, directed by David Mamet, never released on home video, sourced from an internal HBO Production tape sourced by @pulsingcinema.bsky.social: archive.org/details/rick...

Me: Alexa, remind me of me best win streak.

Alexa (quietly): Christ, you are pathetic.

Me: Alexa, volume up.

Alexa (full throated): You got Wordle in 2 and came 7th in Apex Legends in September 2021. Would you like me to read your ex’s FB posts?

Me: oh yeah!

Alexa (quietly): FFS, waste of skin.

Maybe the best use case for AI is replacing emotionless, environment destroying techbro robots with something that is slightly warmer and you can turn off at will.
How… how is Alexa the least robotic performer here?

Illegal migration is tearing this country apart.

On one side the people utterly obsessed with it, thinking it will somehow solve everything.

On the other, the people watching those obsessed with it failing to fix anything and unwilling to change.

GOP: We’ll go to war with Venezuela, that will distract from all the paedophillia.

Headline: PAEDOPHILE DECLARES WAR ON VENEZUELA

GOP: curses.

The thing I don’t really get us why there doesn’t seem to be any prominent Republican who think either
A) all this Epstein stuff is morally objectionable in it’s own right
B) it objectionable purely on the basis it makes the whole GOO look bad
C) It could be used to as part of a coup.

It was this time last year that I was wholly distracted from pressing project deadlines by making this ragtag troupe. Currently resisting the pull to add new recruites...

If the Dems/Journalists could release all the emails at once that would be much easier to understand what is going on.

I’m losing track if these thousand cuts and a bomb would have done a better job.
