A remake of the Tim Curry board game murder-comedy, only all the suspects and the victim were openly in one big consensual relationship unit, called Cule

My daughter is 15, a child with a baby face whom I won’t even put in an Uber by herself. Just utterly disgusting from the same people who have spent years demonizing trans people as predators for daring even to exist. What are we even doing right now?

also not to be this guy but the Heritage Foundation was CLEAR that one of their goals in Project 2025 is to criminalize "pornography," the people who make it and the people who distribute it.
And remember porn here is used VERY broadly to mean anything with LGBTQ content.
So defend porn.

It's uncomfortable for a lot of kidlit creators to contend with, but if you leave porn without defense, the censors are comin for you next THEY ALWAYS DO
(and they HAVE been in this era of book bans)

There has been a noticeable reticence in left and liberal circles to voice full-throated support for pornography, even as it's become increasingly clear what the open end goals of the censorship movement are
In a lot of ways other leftists chose this path folks. They shrugged and didn’t care when Patreon banned a ton of hypnosis and TF creators, or when YouTube started their ASMR crackdown. Now it’s coming for queer porn creators, more and more. Who will stand up?

barely an exaggeration. Chatterton authored the Harper's Letter, which decried "the tendency to dissolve complex policy issues in a blinding moral certainty." his latest book has "the age of certainty" in its subtitle and has a whole chapter about "moral clarity."

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

no I’m not surprised, just imagining (among other things) an opposition party that took this population seriously and devoted itself over the many years it would take to make this country actually livable for them
"In 2025, 40% of women aged 15 to 44 say they would move abroad permanently if they had the opportunity. The current figure is four times higher than the 10% who shared this desire in 2014, when it was generally in line with other age and gender groups."

I feel like this whole focus on the idea that releasing the Epstein files will topple Trump gives the deeply flawed impression that rapists - especially powerful ones - frequently get punished.

the man has admitted to sexually assaulting people and was legally proven by a court of law to be sexually assaulting people (a notoriously hard thing to do) but I’m sure this new evidence that he was sexually assaulting people will really wake up the base. It’ll be our lucky sexual assault evidence

So AI-generated videos of Black people yelling about public assistance, immigrants being snatched off the street, and women being choked to death seem to be the main output of this technology so far.
An account is spamming horrific, dehumanizing videos of immigration enforcement because the Facebook algorithm is rewarding them for it.

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

Look if the sex trafficking we already knew about, and the white nationalism and ethnic cleansing and extrajudicial murder of random fishermen in international waters and destruction of multiple world economies and genocidal withdrawal of international aid weren't enough, and this does it, well, ok

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

It just wasn't a big, newsworthy deal like, for instance, the college applications of a mayoral candidate to a school he didn't get into or attend.
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?
