Sarah Hanson-Young savages Sportsbet GM Jules Norton Selzer after he refuses to answer whether they've ever returned money to victims after it’s found to have been stolen. SHY “I have to take that as a No”💥 Is it because they thrive on criminal money? Shocking.

Bill Gates to testify in congressional panel's Jeffrey Epstein investigation
Bill Gates will appear Wednesday before a congressional panel investigating the Jeffrey Epstein files, becoming the latest powerful figure linked to the disgraced financier to testify. Members of the House Oversight Committee are slated to interview the billionaire Microsoft co-founder behind closed doors, as they have done with other witnesses in the investigation. Republican U.S. Rep. James Comer, the committee chairman, formally requested that Gates testify after he appeared multiple times in a trove of documents released by the Justice Department as part of its Epstein probe.

Dr Oz: "You were not put on this planet to sit at home and watch television. The average person who's on Medicaid, who's able-bodied, watches 6.1 hours of television, or just hangs out, every day." Wait, didn't Oz make his fortune off people watching television?

The leader of the Reform Party and prospective future Prime Minister has decided it is no longer appropriate to say on camera whatever someone asks you to say in return for a surprisingly small amount of money. From the new Private Eye, out now.
I tend to get dogpiled every time I say this but: as someone *who likes bluesky and benefits from being here* we have a problem. The network is shrinking, not growing. It's shrinking a lot: only about 1.1m people a day even like a post. This time last year it was 1.6m.
