this coinciding with twin peaks day is cosmically correct
Many relationships went far deeper than the occasional cocktail-party photograph. Epstein and Kathryn Ruemmler, the White House counsel under President Barack Obama, swapped 11,300 emails from 2014 to 2019, with at least one direct message on 70% of days. Ariane de Rothschild, a banking billionaire, sent or received 5,500 emails; Larry Summers, a former treasury secretary, 4,300. In some cases Epstein grew close to family members: he was in touch with both Noam Chomsky, a linguist, and his wife, Valeria, and chatted with Soon-Yi Previn, Woody Allen’s wife, more than with Mr Allen himself.
I don't talk to anyone this much

Excited for this at the weekend.
Stunt's easily my fave BNLs album. So pleased Steven's continued to do these gigs as they're a joy.

I do not understand why this doesn’t happen already. It’s bizarre.
Discord wants to know how you feel about AI.
Go tell them: discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...
I know people say "satire is dead" a lot but if you wrote a sketch where a tech company's solution to an AI creating nonconsensual sexual images was "make it a premium subscription", it would be thrown out for being too on the nose
Sarah Millican?
I found this fun and interesting. 🙂
Oh my god. It’s actually finally happened. Merry Christmas, everyone!
I really enjoyed the 1st one, but didn't take to the 2nd one for some reason.
I love that this is a news story. And that it's a thing that's happened. 😄
OMG, amazing!!!! 😄😄😄
Can people please stop bringing Black Mirror episodes to life? Unless it's Cameron and the pig again, obviously.
Yesterday a man was spelling something using phonetic alphabet over the phone to me. He started to struggle at D:
”eh…Dick”
and when he came to a B
“[long silence]…I can only think of Balls because I said Dick”

Pretty sure it was this, on cassette, from Woolworths in Dereham. And I still own it.
Hemel Hempstead's the new Hobbiton? They do have the magic roundabout.
I'm sorry, what? I've only ever known them as woodlice and was unaware that anyone called them anything else, despite having lived in various parts of the UK. I don't know what to do with this new information.
How do you humiliate a fascist? Caerphilly.
Bore da iawn, Gymru.
A curious approach from people who don't like the concept of immigration
A fabric bird hanging out on a desk, decorated to look like a hot dog, wearing very cool tiny sunglasses
The front desk lady at the optometrist whispered to me that her boss hates her hot dog bird, so I filled out a comment card saying it was my favorite thing about the place
"The Human Centipede of content," is such a great analogy.
Making the actual super simple game took about 40 minutes, including drawing the sprites. The infrastructure around it (title screen, character selection, unnecessary end screen animation) took nearly 2 hours. Priorities!
I was very much a fan of this dude at the Louvre.
Gonna just say, if it's this easy to protest against the monolith that is Disney. Then there is no excuse for people to be clinging to Harry Potter. Like, if the needle can be moved against Disney, people can make it move against JK Rowling. Stop the flow of money into her accounts,
We want the media and politicians to recognise that there is a large number of women who are supportive of the trans+ community. We call on them to report truthfully about the sources of violence against women and to address the systems that perpetuate harm. notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...
