Turns out my name is in the Epstein files. A kind stranger who shares my surname searched for it out of curiosity & found it. So, she looked for me online and sent me a message!
It was in an event listing in a newsletter he subscribed to. Very many degrees of separation but still feels yuck.

Spencer Cox: "Our nation is broken. We had political assassinations recently in Minnesota. We had an attempted assassination on the gov of Pennsylvania. And we had an attempted assassination on a president. Nothing I say can unite us as a country. Nothing I can say right now can fix what is broken"

Before knowing all the facts, voices on the right are now exploiting the tragic death of Charlie Kirk & calling for all-out war on the left. This is sad, but not surprising, at a time when we should all be denouncing political violence. They were not so upset when Minn. Democrats were assassinated.

A psychiatrist could make a career out of books about these peoples' fantasy version of Trump compared to the half-asleep, incoherent, ancient sack of fluid he actually is.
It's pathetic but more importantly it's also extremely weird and alarming.

If buying a home is a part of the American dream, so is the next step: eventually selling that home and using the equity to trade up to something bigger. But squeezed by high interest rates and record prices, homeowners are frozen in place. And as a result, first-time buyers can’t buy.

Squeezed by high interest rates and record prices, homeowners are frozen in place. They can’t sell. So first-time buyers can’t buy.
