My god (sorry I’m late on a bunch of this stuff. But wow!)
According to this NYT report, the head of the FBI and the Attorney General are holding meetings *in the Situation Room* with GOP lawmakers they are trying to pressure to rescind their votes to release the Epstein info. This is madness.

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

Epstein assaulted Maria Farmer and her sister Annie. Kidnapped her. Threatened her life (via Ghislaine Maxwell). Maria reported this to the FBI, which did nothing, to Vanity Fair magazine, which didn’t print the information as a favor to Epstein.
Now she has contacted writer Ellie Leonard:

Two weeks ago a soft voice reached out to me, interested in my writing, but with a bigger story to tell than I ever could.

Wild how every single member of the political and business elite went into full drooling fascism the second the prospect of consequences for abhorrent behavior started to seem possible
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

This tendency to frame the weakness of our party as some tedious debate over leftists vs. center-left vs. moderates is ridiculous to me. This is his caucus, and he failed to lead them in this moment. ACA coverage is now lost for millions of Americans. That's all that matters. We need new leadership.

Ngl.. all the letters like this make me wonder if any shitty, predatory insurance companies will go under, with NO one paying for health ins. anymore. Silver lining of a shit-sandwich, i guess. Or if our govt will bail them out instead of us.....
I thought my new health insurance premium was going to be $350 per month until I got this letter informing me that it would be $1,228.28 PER MONTH. I CURRENTLY PAY $50. Is my math mathing? Is that.... a 2,356.42% increase?
2256.42%????
TWO THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED FIFTY SIX POINT FORTY TWO PERCENT😩

Lots of hard, shitty lessons being learned from this presidency. And one of the many I hope you're learning is, white supremacy is incompatible with reality, and cannot exist without historical revisionism.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Wth? This alone would make me stop shopping there (if i hadnt already). I *hate* when salesppl talk to me. It makes me leave stores lol
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

Target is now requiring its employees to smile more
As the holiday season fast approaches, Target is urging its employees to add a little more “jolly” to their work routine.

Sucks that this is even a thing -- shithole country, indeed -- but also a good reminder to donate to WCK if possible. Alongside any of your local food banks.
My brother just sent a picture from DC, where World Central Kitchen — yes, the people who've been feeding Gaza — have a tent set up offering free meals for federal employees and families who are affected by the shutdown. God I hate this shithole country.

Once you start thinking of AI as a war on humanity, on human thought, on human inquiry, on human labor, on nuance and critical thinking, it slots in pretty seamlessly with the right wing ideological project, oligarchical political projects, big tech's political projects, etc

Something I’ve noticed is there seems to be a sort of pervasive assumption that the status quo has gravity. That there’s a natural, comfortable way things should be and that deviations from the normal state of the world will correct themselves in time.
But as a paleontologist, I know this is false.
