I’m concerned that the Inky has published an editorial that suggests a very poor understanding of how Conviction Integrity Units work. HINT: CIUs are not & should not be adversarial in the way we typically think of the work of prosecutors.

Just had one of the scariest street encounters in Philly in my life. I actually screamed. And I've never, ever screamed in fear in Philly... not even when I was robbed at gunpoint in N Philly in the 80s (ifykyk). But today.. walking my dog west on Catharine we were stopped by a large, orange cat.

Friends, if you’re at North South this week be on the lookout for Jim—a fellow Philadelphian who, like me, recently moved to Ireland and is at the conference this week.

Nice bit of serendipity: It was technically only yesterday (around 1am) that I completed my year-long move to Cork, and this morning I’m walking to my first conference in Ireland. Thanks to my new Bluesky friend @jillmccorkel.bsky.social for flagging the event when we met last week in Philadelphia.

I'm considering developing a glossary of terms taken from the encrypted text messages of Irish organized crime figures. My current fav: "Reckon putting the Teeth on the duck..." American gangsters, take note.

The Trump DOJ has been taking down Epstein files. The massive tranche of files the Justice Department currently maintains is more than 65,000 pages shorter than what the agency initially released, according to a CBS analysis — and the number continues to fluctuate.

"... a woman in an abusive relationship is now more likely to take her own life than be killed by her partner."

A man can terrorise a woman to death and the state will call it a private tragedy. 900 women a year. No charges and no shame! The state criminalises protest, dissent and poverty but not this. And that tells you everything about whose lives matter to power. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...
