Arts: music, songwriting, photography, films, books. Anything that touches the senses nicely. OK, I can't avoid politics, but then...none of us can.

- Yale prof David Gelernter defends his letter urging Epstein to hire "v small goodlooking blonde" student by saying that he was "keep[ing] the potential boss's habits in mind." This creep shouldn't be allowed anywhere near students. yaledailynews.com/articles/gel...

- Reposted by LosdIn the Epstein files, Far-right bloated shite Steve Bannon & Epstein discuss the chaos that will follow Brexit. The telling line is the very cause of so much right now. 'The right now has the working class behind them on immigration' Divide the working class - been their plan all along.

- This is a no-brainer, really. Easy e-mail form to your local trust and/or Wes Streeting. There are more than enough private companies milking the NHS as it is. Once they've got our data, do you trust them to keep it safe? Do you trust them not to use it to milk us all?

- Reposted by LosdShell increases debt pile to $45.7bn to continue bumper shareholder payouts. 4% increase in dividends, $3.5bn share buybacks – 17th consecutive quarter of at least $3bn of buybacks. Customers will pay. CEOs appease shareholders who always want more. No govt curbs their power.
- Reposted by LosdYet another reason newsrooms with serious financial backing are so important: They can simply send staff to see if Nike's claims about working conditions in their factories are true and retain lawyers for Nike's inevitable reaction.
- Reposted by LosdIt’s hard to put into perspective how truly massive the warehouse is that was recently sold by the Rockefeller Group to the Department of Homeland Security for $70 million to build a concentration camp in Surprise, AZ. Across the street is a huge neighborhood and a school. It’s 400,000-square-feet.
- Reposted by LosdICE at the polls! Bannon is basically yelling “fire” in a crowded theater here. His objective is to cause chaos (and suppress votes on the left). And it’s already working. This threat works on multiple levels and doesn’t have to be “real” to serve its purpose. Let me explain & offer some advice.
- Steve Bannon says the federal government is planning to send ICE officers to patrol polling stations during the midterms. "We're going to have ICE surround the polls come November." "We're not going to sit here and allow you to steal the country again." www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

- Reposted by LosdPeople who make billions out of billions are invariably horrible, vicious, abusive, nasty, bitter human beings who think very highly of themselves and their needs and their pile of money and absolutely nothing of other human beings. If the Epstein scandal has reminded us of anything it is that.

- BBC lead for this short is Eddie saying "it's always important to remember the victims." But he also thinks that the audience "aren't the *least* bit interested in that" [Q was: "I wonder what you think of this... how are you coping with that?"] www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cz...

- Reposted by LosdHot Take 2: if this is Mandelson's position, there is no reason for him not to issue a statement to this effect. If he has not issued a statement to this effect, the BBC's "understanding" of his actual position may be inaccurate. Stop letting people play this game.

- And @yuanfenyang.bsky.social, too! As you have said here: "...service remains poor, sewage is still dumped, and trust is low." For me, and many others, public ownership is the only option. Cost is just a smokescreen, either way we pay for it.
- Reposted by Losd5. What this is about is the locus of solidarity. Either you express solidarity with the victims of genocide and the victims of sexual abuse. Or you express solidarity with someone you treat as a hero, who might be assisting the airbrushing of those crimes. There’s a choice to be made.
- Meanwhile, in the land of the free and the home of the brave, ICE agents rehearse their part to ensure free and fair voting in the upcoming midterms. If Trump doesn't employ armed agents in some capacity come the midterms, I shall be very surprised.

- Reposted by LosdThe thing is, you didn't have to be Nostradamus to see it. You just had to be independent of the ultra-rich. Unfortunately, the great majority of the media is in the plutocrats' pockets. So the people pointing it out are shunned. In 2009 I tried and tried to get the BBC to pick this up. But ...⛔🤐
- 1. In 2009 I wrote this. I argued that Peter Mandelson's department “functions as a fifth column within government, working for corporations to undermine democracy and the public interest.” This thread explains what I saw, and reaches a startling conclusion.🧵 www.monbiot.com/2009/05/04/m...
