pretty funny in retrospect that QAnon hinged on the idea that powerful elites at the highest levels of government were smart enough to talk in code when sending emails to each other about their despicable crimes

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

According to the car wash owner, agents arrested employees before they could obtain their documentation from their work lockers. So many were likely here legally.

We are invited to assume that the New York Times did not know what Epstein was telling Landon Thomas about Trump. I decline to extend that charity.

If Epstein wanted the NYT to write about it, he should have made it about a Democrat and gotten a white nationalist hacker to leak it to them.

New York Times social media guidelines prohibit expression suggesting partiality on things like ICE, execution of foreigners in fishing boats, or whether law is a thing.

However, tipping off notorious serial pedophiles about other reporters is absolutely fine.

Many people are asking: Is NYT publisher AG Sulzberger the CVXII mentioned in the Epstein Files?
To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015

What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

The Sulzberger mentioned here might be this Sulz or it might be the dad, but either way, the conduct of the NYT is starting to make a lot more sense now

Why the NYT didn't report on their Epstein info is tangled up with another question: was Epstein a friend of the Sulzberger family? Epstein claims he first befriended NYT publisher "Punch" Sulzberger in the 1970s, when Sulzberger's daughter (age ~12) was at the prep school where Epstein taught. 1/

You can disagree and argue as much as you like but the point of evaluating something scientifically is that not every statement should be given equal credence because evidence matters

The people who empower Trump would never countenance any man being held to account for hurting girls. That would offend their whole notion of justice (the strong get to eat the weak)
It’s a strange situation when we’ve established the POTUS is a criminal, we’re just trying to find a crime his party wouldn’t be okay with.

You genuinely can’t win a war if you tolerate too much doomer behavior. Public doomerism is shockingly socially corrosive.

One of the better analogies for LLM/AI "writing"
In the late 30s, Brazil had a nasty dictatorship which persecuted journalists. Once their goons attacked one and destroyed his hands. The next day, his article began: "Fools. They believe we write with our hands."

These new fools believe writing is done by gathering words into sentences.

We are truly living through a probably of national immiseration and national humiliation and I think the ramifications of that will be profound and long lasting. I don't think a nation so accustomed to stability and prosperity will respond mildly

ICE agents are complaining that every time they go out wearing masks in unmarked cars with no uniforms or identification as law enforcement to abduct people, protesters keep dumping pounds of glitter on them so that everyone can tell they're ICE for days afterwards.

The central paradox of Trump II is that the American constitution has been hollowed out to create the most powerful executive in 250 years, for the benefit of an executive who is no longer meaningfully doing the job

If Dems win the Supreme Court races in Pennsylvania in 9 days, it’s extremely likely the GOP can’t get a majority on that court until 2029.

The GOP really wants to have this majority during the 2028 presidential race.

The thing about Nazis is their speech is all hate speech, all of it, not free speech, because Nazism is predicated on violence and contemporary Nazism is predicated on knowing about genocide and approving of it and wanting to do it again.
