RIP. She was a fighter and a hero.

We can lament the lack of full justice but please let's not forget this woman's massive achievements...

Epstein died awaiting trial. Maxwell is doing 20 years. Andrew is a social pariah who has been ejected from the royal family. And everyone around the world knows about Epstein's trafficking ring.

None of this would have happened without Giuffre's tenacity and bravery for so long in the face of insurmountable odds and incredibly powerful people.

It's not justice until every charge is answered for and every perpetrator faces trial. BUT.. this woman achieved so much and deserves to be remembered as such.

Let's not frame her as a downtrodden victim. She's a fucking fighter. And she won an astounding victory. This woman felled giants.

Anti-feminist views are far right views and they go hand in hand with other conservative views like homophobia. There's no conflation required.

It's a pretty core part of the right's ideology/fantasy about traditional roles and structures in society. Racism as well, trans rights... It's all part of the bundle.

Still, it probably has a chilling ef fect. Voting Dems becomes like a secret you have to keep rather than something you should shout from the roofs - less likely to make that post on social media, put up a sticker or a sign, tell your friend and family etc.

Reddit has kissed the ring.

You can't pay someone to vote a certain way, but what if you pay people who love {[interest that correlates strongly with republican support]} to vote.

You don't pay people to vote a particular way, which would be illegal, but you get the result you want regardless.

Yeah, Reddit has been leaned on. And is compliant.

Rejecting entry to a person who advocated for your invasion should be pretty simple. Do it.

I had to use teams with multiple accounts with multiple organisations. Sometimes my account is added to their organisation, sometimes I used their provided account. Microsoft was going for a one sign in approach and the whole thing just totally failed to account for my situation. It never successfully let me switch accounts, running multiple concurrently certainly never worked.

With one situation the work around was to follow the original organisation invite again, reset my password then proceed with my meeting. I'd do this maybe ten times a day sometimes if I had to bounce between different companies.

And all controls are basic as fuck. It's a business tool that thinks its target market is my grandma. All controls were apple-ified. I'd get a long error code and I couldn't select it to copy and paste it, and if I clicked off the window the notification displaying the error code would go away, so i'd have to print screen the error code, paste out somewhere, and then type it out manually into Google to try and diagnose. This was a solved problem 30 years ago. Why are we going backwards?

Anyway, rant over. It's a pos. Slack is light years ahead.

The slave trade is a mandatory part of the curriculum at ks3. You've just forgotten. And it's pretty worts and all as far as Britain's involvement goes.

I agree with your sentiments though, everyone likes to mythologise their history.

That was first bribes. What about second bribes?

Trump is actually right here. Tax havens benefit themselves at the cost of their neighbours.

Close down tax havens!
