Far be it for everyone else to point out to the anti-trans, toilet-fixated, undercarriage-obsessed AI-extruders that Bugs Bunny & his pals had no male or female sexual organs whatsoever, nor any anatomy with which to achieve using a toilet. And didn't - well, brace yourselves - exist.

Still remember the crushing moment as a young researcher when I realised that proving something through evidence had damn near no impact on social policy unless it was politically useful to believe it.

Congrats to Julie K. Brown! She was awarded a #Pulitzer Prize special citation today for her groundbreaking reporting in 2017 & 2018 for the Miami Herald exposing Jeffrey Epstein's systematic abuse of young women and the justice system & powerful network of associates that protected him for years.
A powerful narrative portrait of Julie K. Brown, the Miami Herald investigative journalist celebrated for her "Perversion of Justice" series, which exposed the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein and led to her 2026 Pulitzer Prize special citation. Brown sits in the heart of a newsroom, leaning forward with her hands clasped over the back of a vibrant lime-green chair. Her expression is steady and resolute, a faint, knowing smile playing on her lips. She has shoulder-length, strawberry-blonde hair and wears a crisp, white short-sleeved linen top. Her look is punctuated by bold, artistic accessories: a long necklace featuring large, multi-colored geometric beads and matching statement earrings. The background is filled with the tools of her trade: Dell computer monitors and large wall-mounted screens displaying blurred news segments, including one featuring her own likeness. The composition is balanced and centered, capturing a mood of quiet authority and tireless determination. This image stands as a tribute to Brown’s historical significance in journalism, marking her as a champion for victims whose reporting forced a global reckoning on power and systemic failure.

Image of Melania Trump pole dancing for Epstein isn't real. Here's the proof
Melania Trump has been the subject of frequent suspicious “photos” claiming to connect her to Epstein or his associate Ghislaine Maxwell.

One is wearing an old woollen vest. The other is dressed in a slightly more pretentious way, with boots.

I hope AUS PM Anthony Albanese and NSW Premier Chris Minns realise that MANY Australians DO NOT want "social cohesion" with neo-nazis and Zionist bigots. That sort of "social cohesion" sounds a lot like condoning anti-Palestinian racism and complicity in genocide. #auspol #nswpol #FreePalestine

Murrow warned us about this a long time ago, that TV would trade truth for spectacle, analysis for noise, and civic duty for profit. Putting unvetted, attention seeking talkers on air proves his point. TV chose ratings over responsible reporting. It’s the business model.

Compare these two news headlines about the same story. The Telegraph headline reports what has happened and why. The BBC focuses on Walliams' denial of wrongdoing. How the media frames a story matters. #sexism #workplace #harassment #journalism
Two news headlines re the same story:
Telegraph: Exclusive: David Walliams dropped by publisher over inappropriate behaviour towards women. Telegraph investigation into best-selling children's author uncovers claims he 'harassed' junior female employees at Harper Collins.
BBC: David Walliams denies inappropriate behaviour after publisher drops him.
