"Peter #Mandelson told Jeffrey #Epstein that he was “trying hard” to change government policy on a bankers’ bonus tax; and appeared to recommend a fresh round of lobbying. The economic backdrop today is dramatically different from the depths of the banking crisis. But the clash between progressive policies and the powerful financial sector laid bare in the Epstein emails is still evident."

A whiff of familiarity in Mandelson’s 2009 collusion with the banks

For Labour veterans of the financial crisis the Epstein files revealed a betrayal – but 16 years on, is the City calling the shots?

Ce matin c'était lecture d'un documentaire sur la Révolution française, avec les enfants.
Et d'un coup, la ressemblance frappante.

Once again, it seems like folks are madder at the Dems for not stopping Repubs from doing a terrible thing than they are at the Repubs for doing it.

I imagine lefties are pleased.

Clearly Blooskie is gross, and the folks jockeying for those FOMO invites should probably take a beat and consider the points outlined in the quoted thread before throwing in with cryptofascists, Musk enthusiasts, racists, and other unreconstructed goons.

Attached: 4 images There's a lot of misinformation circulating that obscures or softens Jack Dorsey's relationship to #Bluesky, Bluesky to Twitter, &/or Dorsey to Musk/Twitter. On Dec 11, 2019, Dorsey announced on Twitter that he'd started Bluesky as part of Twitter, to serve Twitter, & funded by Twitter $, "to develop an open & decentralized standard for social media." (One already existed. Clearly the goal was one he controlled.) "The goal is for Twitter to ultimately be a client of this [Bluesky] standard."

Mastodon progressives
Considering the fact that they're meant to be #news outlets, wouldn't it make sense if they reported only when there was no #MassShooting in the USA? Otherwise it's just #SameShitDifferentDay

Had my first bad interaction today here on #Mastodon with someone who, best I can tell, carouses certain tags to drop spoilers, wish folks a terrible day, and then start a squabble if someone calls them out on their behavior, which seems counterproductive to the kind of world they want to see and live and experience.

After wishing them a better day, I blocked and muted them.

There’s no need for nastiness.

This is unfortunate and what I expected from #BirdSite
