Something that’s so striking in these emails is how…unimpressive Epstein is. He comes off as a pompous, sub-literate lech. Yes everyone is so mortifyingly solicitous of him! All fawning and flattery! Why?????

JD Vance owns a company that buys American real estate and sells it to foreign investors. They specifically target Americans in crisis to buy their property for less than it is worth.
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."

She just has shower thoughts like the rest of us
Many Judge Anderson stories involve her taking a shower, then having her psychic alarm bells go off.
Cynics might say it's to provide mild titillation for a mostly male readership.
WHAT IF, though, she's literally only had eight showers in her entire life, they're just very poorly-timed?

Periodic reminder that someone needs to pay @imgarysuarez.bsky.social a large sum of money to write a book about the post-Y2K business dealings of 90s alt acts, entitled, "So Much for the Afterglow."
A depressing thing about contemporary culture is that back in the 90s you had loads of 60s/70s acts making big critically acclaimed returns: Bowie, Dylan, Nelson, Young, Emmylou Harris. And yet you struggle to think of any 90s acts doing the same today.

I love this site, but man, the experience of going viral on Twitter didn’t involve so many replies that just completely ignore what you actually said that you worry you’re having a stroke.

Yeah, why bother shutting it down if this is your exit strategy? Trump was losing. He looked awful, slashing food stamps for the sake of it while building that stupid ballroom for his Great Gatsby parties. And now the Dems just hand him a win. Fucking pathetic even for them.
If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

I’m ok with not making being a billionaire a capital crime. We can just do a Running Man type thing where we put them and their money in a labyrinth full of death traps and if they can escape with it they can keep it.
if you claim to be worth a billion dollars you must be forced to care it with you at all times and defend it from anyone who attempts to take it from you.
The whole billionaire/trillionaire this is getting a bit ridiculous. We need a law that makes it illegal to possess more than a billion dollars. If you have more than a billion dollars, you have one year to give it away or the state seizes it and pays for people's healthcare.

“Kitchen table issues” is as much about what the Democrats aren’t supposed to talk about (trans rights, Black people, democracy) as what they are. “Affordability” just names the thing in plain terms.
One thing I will say, as a big “affordability” guy, is that it’s interesting how if you want to focus on “kitchen table issues” you’re a hack, consultant brain moron but if your pushing “affordability” you’ve got yr eye on the pulse, have vanquished neoliberalism and r generally killing it.

Good hit, but come on. “The affordability” is absolutely part of what makes him look senile and out of touch, and not including it in the quote is malpractice.

Well clearly Panera needs to get more venture capital and better lobbyists.
Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.
This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

![Camera mount: anything that will mount a phone stably. The loved one and kid got me a ring light for Christmas and told me to rant on TikTok when something annoyed me. Unfortunately, ring lights are incompatible with wearing glasses - you get virtual googly eyes projected perfectly onto your lenses - but the phone holder bit still works well mounted on the desk. [Amazon UK, Amazon US] I also have an older phone mount for a camera tripod.
Microphone: Your video can be iffy, but your sound has to be good.
I use my Jabra Evolve 40 headset, which was designed for work Zoom calls. [Amazon UK, Amazon US] This is not great, but it’ll do. I turn the bass up in post-production and it sounds better.
I really want a Røde - the loved one has a Røde M3, which is all the mic you need for a remarkable range of use cases, for around £80. [Amazon UK, Amazon US] The M3 really needs phantom power - if you use a battery, you will forget it’s switched on and it’ll go flat - which is another £20 box. But Røde make an enormous variety of good podcasting mics of professional quality and you’re unlikely to go wrong. A Røde is the next piece of kit I’ll spend money on.
Lighting: A 9W daylight bulb above, a 9W daylight bulb to my left, and a 9W yellow bulb (“warm white”) to my left are doing the job so far. The lights to my left and right are in clip-on gooseneck mounts attached to the shelves. [Amazon UK, Amazon US]
Teleprompter: Elegant Teleprompter on Android. This puts a floating window over your camera app. It’s free with unobtrusive ads and the developer is very in-touch with his user base and likes to fix problems. [Google Play]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2aiipqemoobrrilfx4jbm6pb/bafkreifdfvsifrdj3lruz6k5lguz7kaxvnr7xkgpk734nnuhi23c7zk74u@jpeg)
![Sound: I edit the sound in Audacity, which is free, open source, and just works. If you know what you want to do, you can probably do it. I normalise the very quiet phone audio, do a noise reduction, pump up the bass 4.5dB, then go through the audio de-umming and removing breath noise, the latter being the main reason I want a microphone that isn’t up my nose. Then compression, then it’s ready. [Audacity]
Screen shots: I take these in Firefox and edit them in GIMP. I also make the title cards in GIMP. Just make things 1280×720.
Video editing: I use OpenShot, which is a bit open-source, but it basically works and it’s free. I get the video, the cleaned audio, the various still images, and the theme music, and assemble the video. Export at 720p as “MP4 (H.264 va).” I could go to 1080p, but this is a talking head show and you don’t need my nose hairs that sharp. [OpenShot]
When you finally give in to the urge for fancy with equipment, pro podcaster kit is super cheap on Alibaba and hence Amazon. Go through surplus listings and see if you’re lucky.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2aiipqemoobrrilfx4jbm6pb/bafkreidxh4dac32gewyxa7ajfsrqageawlqwytceiud6p5brydgrquskjy@jpeg)
