I’ve just launched a paid newsletter on top of my existing project email list: buttondown.com/glennf/archi...

At the paid tier, I’ll publish at least one article or essay per month on the broad topics of type, printing, comics, language, and their intersections. See post for examples!
I still appreciate the distinct meanings! Fist bumps!

New York Magazine’s coverage from 2007 treated her as a joke & backgrounded Epstein raping her. (“rococo law filings filed by William J Unroch, Esq, on behalf of his client and maybe-girlfriend, Maximilia ‘Ava’ Cordero, a self-described model who claimed that at 16 she was molested by…Epstein”)
Leslie Wexner, former CEO of Victoria's Secret, was the other man named by Ava Cordero as her rapist and abuser alongside Jeffrey Epstein in 2007, only to be mocked and degraded and dismissed as crazy because she's trans.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

Good use of Speech or Debate Clause immunity by Khanna here.
House Dem identifies ‘wealthy, powerful men’ DOJ redacted in Epstein files
House Dem identifies ‘wealthy, powerful men’ DOJ redacted in Epstein files
Rep. Ro Khanna took to the House floor Tuesday and read aloud the names of six “wealthy, powerful men” whose names were originally redacted in the Jeffrey Epstein files. It comes after Khanna, a California Democrat, and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) emerged from reviewing unredacted materials related to the late convicted sex offender and demanded that the Justice Department reveal these individuals’ identities to the public if their redactions did not fall under the terms established by Congress.. The lawmakersthreatened to expose the men if DOJ did not cooperate, taking advantage of the Constitution’s Speech or Debate Clause that under certain circumstances can shield members of Congress from litigation. DOJ ultimately complied with some of their requests, Massie announced in social media posts Tuesday morning. Khanna, however, wasn’t satisfied to stop there. “Why did it take Thomas Massie and me going to the Justice Department to get these six men’s identities to become public?” he asked from the House floor. “And if we found six men that they were hiding in two hours, imagine how many men they are covering up for in those 3 million files.” Khanna accused the Trump administration of continuing to violate the law he and Massie helped shepherd through Congress in November that placed limits on DOJ redactions of the documents. It’s not immediately clear who some of the individuals are, but Khanna identified Leslie Wexner as the billionaire former owner of Victoria’s Secret and other retail companies, and Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem as the chief executive officer of DP World. Representatives for Wexner and Bin Sulayem did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Other names include Salvatore Nuara, Zurab Mikeladze, Leonic Leonov, and Nicola Caputo, who could not be reached for comment. Khanna did not provide evidence of wrongdoing against any of them.

Listen to this. Not a penny more for this. Abolish and prosecute anyone who had anything to do with it.

After I asked about it, the site lost the name drop shown below, but users are still sent to Grok. This follows uproar over Grok's creation of millions of sexualized deepfakes of women and children.

Once you notice society's base reluctance to refer to women as "geniuses" with the same frequency they do as men, no matter how talented or influential she may be, it's a thing you never really stop noticing.

Don't miss that this statement by the judge is based on a concession by the government

"*By the government's own admission,* its position is that if an ICE officer made a mistake and . . . detained someone who was legally in the US, that detainee would not be entitled to a bond hearing."
