look within yourself and ask why you're so surprised
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?????

what most disturbs me about jd vance is how empty he is. he's a featureless clay doll. he's a human-shaped black hole driven by mindless hunger. it's probably why his mom turned to heroin. she knew. how many nights did she stand over his bed as he slept with a pillow in her hands.

Hey so, today is my last day at Crystal Dynamics apparently. I joined the company in 2018 to work on Marvel's Avengers and it's been the longest (and best) job I've ever had. It now means I'm looking for work, so if you know of any senior writer/narrative designer positions please send them my way.

so what you're telling me is you sat on publishable info about trump and epstein
As a former member of NYT’s finance team & the co-author of this story exposing the relationship between Epstein & Bill Gates as well as one on Epstein & JPMorgan, I am really frustrated to see people claiming that NYT sat on publishable info about Trump and Epstein 🧵 www.nytimes.com/2019/10/12/b...

gamemaster anthony at christ's crucifixion: bring it in, guys!
This is definitely an Air Bud situation. Unless the Bible specifically says they weren’t there…

maybe because it's a fucking game console. it does what it's supposed to do. how exactly do you want people to react to it.
Whenever I chat to anyone about the PS5's life so far, am I typically met with a waft of lukewarm praise or shrug of plain ambivalence? Why hasn't it captivated people - at least me - in the way the PS4 did? https://bit.ly/3LCEQZu

to be fair, the bible doesn't say goofy wasn't at the crucifixion

Out here enjoying a pint and reading theory.

Came across this bit from Engels dismantling the idealism of the Gotha Program, and there's definitely something there.

Capitalists supplanted nature as a middleman/access between resources & the working classes makes a lot of sense.

every few years it's revealed that the NYT was sitting on information about some horrific thing that public knowledge of would have changed the country's course and for some reason a ton of people still give them money. you can play those games on other sites

trump said it himself. bragged about it, even.
On this Epstein stuff, just a reminder that multiple contestants in the Miss Teen USA pageant - to repeat, TEENAGERS - said that when Trump owned it, he would walk into the dressing room so he could watch them changing clothes

Our editorial stance is kidnappings are bad. This is not Real Journalism because it's important to be neutral about atrocities
Got turned down on a piece about ICE in Chicago for an international news org because they believed I couldn’t be objective about my neighbors getting kidnapped. And well, guilty as charged I guess.

Incredible how much dirt the Dems had on Trump and never used it 'cause the Epstein case hits a bunch of their own guys. Their donor class and the guys they advance as major candidates have so much more in common with him than with you.
