I worked on a study about online nonconsensual image sharing. We were shocked by how many women found their images on 8chan forums where men posted challenges to each other like, “Find her workplace and get her fired,” or, “Get a nude photo of one of your girlfriend’s friends.”

I accidentally spent £17,700 on 400 subscriptions to the LRB for Home Office staff and now the Life in the UK test is asking applicants to rank Derek Jarman films from most to least emotionally resonant?

Ashley is one of the smartest and most engaging writers I've read in years. People should be giving her all the work.

"my test for (AI gen music) is 'what would David Bowie say?' I suspect the answer is a long way from Bluesky conventional wisdom." one of david bowie's most visceral responses to emerging forms of music was yer da's worst drum and bass loop album, so i don't think bowie is perhaps the best pick

TIL there is a spin off series called the hunt for jack reacher, where two FBI agents basically trail in his wake and turn up among the carnage of his stories long after he's gone. there are TWENTY SEVEN OF THEM.

i just...i'd love to know which bit, which part, what chunk, she doesn't think was "earned" previously. was it the massive financial cost? the stress? the ludicrously complicated and unforgiving rules? the renewal dice roll? the tests for everything, in every direction? which bit, shabana?

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

"You will never defeat us" is a very funny thing to say after you've just bailed everyone who was involved in whatever the fuck this was

All five men arrested in RAF base plot are British nationals
The five men who were arrested and subsequently released on bail are all British citizens, home secretary Shabana Mahmood has just told the Labour party conference.

She adds that the scene is “now safe” and the residents living near to the RAF base are now able to return home.

“Let this be a reminder: you will never defeat us,” he says.

Condemnation is pure hot air if in the next breath you’re telling everyone you’re doing your best to give the fascists what they want, just without the masks

In fact, these are scenes we have not seen on British streets. Immigration needs to be deal with, I will be the first to say that and we are dealing with it. The boat crossings have been halved since six years ago, net migration is down massively.

My five year old has the soul of Orson Welles. We were outside school and he 'put a kiss in my pocket for later.' Extremely touched by this, I gave him two back. He dug out the second one, THEATRICALLY CRUSHED IT IN HIS FIST and said 'one is enough.'
