Why must they keep threatening us with a good time?
"This could take down Democrats, too."
I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office.
Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.

"The Epstein Ballroom" does trip off the tongue nicely...still, we shouldn't call it the Epstein Ballroom.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

I love a good analogy.
I saw someone compare AI to asbestos, in that people thought it was this amazing new material and put it in everything whether it needed it or not, but then realized too late that it was incredibly harmful. Do asbestos and AI both have a place? Yes. Do they need to be in everything out there? No.

Now I'm imagining Kikkoman-San (the soy sauce version of the Kool-Aid man) bursting through a wall shouting "YA-TAAAAA" like Hiro Nakamura in Heroes.
This looks like I made it with AI but no, when the sumo wrestler won the big tournament today at the Royal Albert Hall he was gifted a gigantic bottle of soy sauce.
