I don't know how to clip a segment (sorry), but the bit I really want you to watch starts at 29'10". It's about the deep roots of the attack on Iran and why it's just as well Starmer is "no Winston Churchill". I'm surprised this aspect isn't more widely discussed. 🧵

Commentary: Anyone Else Have Those Weird Dreams Where Sobbing Future Generations Beg You To Change Course?
one correction: hegseth also purports to be forbidding _selling_ to anthropic as well.
Hegseth and OpenAi is the tie-up the future of civilisation absolutely doesn’t need.
Everyone of these powerful people already knew their names were in the Epstein files.
The panic isn’t about the files.
It’s about the public finally getting to see them.
Yup. One day I hope averice and greed behaviour like his (and many others with dumb sticks) will be seen as socially dysfunctional.
Sometimes it feels like all the good historical #dataviz has already been dug up & dissected — which is why it’s so refreshing to have Attila excavating and sharing so many new (old) graphics.
Exactly
Where did Peter Mandelson get the money to afford a big house in Camden, another one in Wiltshire and enough change to pay one of the most expensive legal firms in the UK to act on his recent fit of hubris about not fleeing to the BVI. That's what I'd like to know.
The BIGGER issue with the Epstein files is the international collusion going on between the likes of Epstein, Mandelson, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Bill Clinton, JP Morgan, financiers, the British establishment, Russian oligarchs, Israeli, European politicians, Gulf States ... anybody else?

Institutionally sovereign… I share your despair. Have they learned nothing about networked organisation? FFS.
*bangs head against a wall*
Is this a data architecture issue? In which case why are we handing over so much of it to dubious organisations like Palantir, I ask myself.
Naked corruption looks like this.
The arrogance of this low-life, seedy, rotten-to-the-core prick.
If anyone searches for the term ‘douchebag’, they should get this because Sam Altman is omg I don’t even have enough words to describe how vile he is. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
Mandelson being arrested by the police is great news, but the list of those who could be charged for misconduct in public office is a long one. We should be just getting started.
In completely unconnected news cough Boris Johnson cough.
A long read, but worth it. Sharp analysis by an economics professor of the threat that cryptocurrencies play, especially with Trump stumping for them. www.bostonreview.net/articles/the...
I can't even - why are women expected to put up with this.
OH MY GOD
There are 28 Republican members on the House Oversight Committee. None of them showed up today for Les Wexner’s deposition on Epstein.
I guess bombing Iran would make a good distraction from the Epstein files.
Andrew Mountsomething Grifter is in *so much trouble* big trouble 😳 huge
Yeah the ‘thoughts and prayers’ tactic from the Palace doesn’t cut it. They have many, many questions to answer. www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...
The misogyny, lies, grifting and naked self-interest of Reform UK, a privately owned political party with an unelected’leader’ should all be kicked to the kerb very hard.
The most butt clenchingly embarrassing thing in this clip is the pathetic, sycophantic toadies who clap his refusal to answer the question and then laugh when he tells her to ‘go and write some silly story’. Farage is a liar and a charlatan who can’t stand any scrutiny whatsoever.
