A new tool lets you search the Epstein files for mentions of your LinkedIn contacts. Tried it out, does work. Outputs a report with links to the material on the DOJ website.

Based in Nairobi, Kenya, @khoureld.bsky.social's most recent bylined article (she is now listed as a correspondent) was about how young Kenyans were tricked to fight for Russia in their ongoing invasion of Ukraine.

the number of academics who were in touch with Epstein really puts the (elite) backlash to Title IX's enforcement against sexual violence into perspective.
DiChristina also invited Epstein to attend an editorial meeting for the Scientific American, where she worked as editor-in-chief.

Correspondence from 2010 also showed DiChristina on a guest list for a meeting on “the islands,” though it was not immediately clear what Epstein meant by “islands.”

It’s infuriating and dispiriting how cozy scientists and science communicators were with Epstein. Not just creeps like Krauss and Horner, but former SciAm editor-in-chief Mariette DiChristina corresponding with Epstein in 2014-2015. “He’s done so much for science, I think that deserves some fun!”

lol yup yet at the same time makes perfect sense lmao now that AI companies are invested in military and genocides
Absolutely surreal to have lived through the Napster days and watched as the titans of industry moved hell and high water to lock down any possible chance that someone's song might get swapped online without giving the studios a cut and now those same people are just like "well we gotta steal music"

Anyone know a good employment solicitor (UK based). An academic friend has been bullied at work and the independent investigation is just shambolic. Very short time to appeal so any help will be appreciated. DM me

In Myanmar, as Wynn-Williams recounts at the end of her book, "Careless People," Facebook facilitated the military junta to post hate speech, thereby fomenting sexual violence and attempted genocide of the country’s Muslim minority.
