Civil litigator here with years of experience of business people’s emails to each other in disclosed evidence for disputes.
As a general rule: the senior the business person, the less effort they put into emails, and the more effort expected from those reading them.
Effectively a mark of rank.

"why are these rich freaks so bad at writing emails?"

The maxwell case was still open and being actively tried. You can't release files in that context
I mean this in the spirit of curiosity: why the fuck did the Biden DOJ not release these Epstein files?
Were they just completely asleep at the wheel? Did Trump have the files stashed away in a Maralago bathroom?
Seriously what the fuck.

Obviously probably true because he’s the richest man on earth but that makes it even more pathetic and disgusting that he basically begged to be around Epstein and was rejected
"I can be a pedophile all on my own" is not the flex he thinks it is.

I am really angry about all of the scientists who cozied up to Epstein even after it was known who he was.
I am nearly as angry at how many people are justifying this as "they had to, it's how academia works"
NO IT FUCKING WELL ISN'T

You don't have to dirty your soul to be a successful academic or a scientist. Have some fucking pride. Have some fucking principles.
If you think you DO need to do that, all I can say is that I beg you not to go into academia or science.

We didn’t think the leopards would eat the resale value on our houses.
My friend lives in Roxbury NJ where ICE is trying to buy a warehouse to convert into a detention center and she says they’re trying to fight it. Apparently many of the people fighting are Trump supporters who voted for deportations but are worried the concentration camp will ruin property values.

Lots of interesting stuff in this analysis but I especially liked this part on the appeal of AI to the boss class, which goes beyond the (also true) “it allows them to fire more people” bit

I asked Megumi about this, and her best guess is that it's so unclear who would even own the rights to Virtual Lab anymore, that there's no established entity that Nintendo could negotiate with for it -- if they even wanted to include the game on the service in the first place. A shame for sure.
Saddened that the Virtual Boy collection does not include Virtual Lab, a puzzle game made by a trans woman who, in no uncertain terms, designed the on-screen character to have big breasts because she too wanted boobs, but couldn't afford top surgery.
I hope she's having a good day today.

In our reporting for the book and stories, sources who came into contact with Musk and his son, X Æ A-Xii, told us that he kept the child around Twitter's office to act as a security blanket. His children are there for his disposal.
