He was literally ordering big containers of acid shipped to his island, the implications re: bodies being destroyed en mass is shockingly evil,

I looked at a few of them and I haven't been able to sleep properly since. It's hard to talk about it, and hard to convince people that I haven't completely lost my mind. It sounds so completely outlandish, and the more you see, the worse it gets. The journal (you prob know the one) broke me.

Currently, the outrage to the visible contents of the Epstein files is so mild that I have to think the majority of people just aren't even casually checking them. I can't think of a phrase to describe what I've read even as a forensic analyst. "Cartoonishly evil" is too gentle. Horrific. Inhuman.

If there's ever been a time to NOT be incrementalist, this is it. The most political capital you're gonna have is right now. And we got Gestapo death squads in MSP and TB spreading through concentration camps in Texas. If you can't find a win there, get out of politics. The Epstein Class, baby

If the nice Vietnamese lady at the salon can fix my acrylic nail without evidence of a break in 10 minutes, I think a spy agency can defeat your sparkle nail polish. Not a reason to not do it, but TMYK.

Filming porn is illegal in China, and the bustling black market is sadly not just producing it. In this piece, the BBC explores networks of hidden spy cameras in hotel rooms in China, selling access to voyeurs via Telegram. Sometimes the voyeurs get filmed themselves. www.reddit.com/r/LeopardsAteM..
