On a day in which every new thing I read is slimier than the last can I please persuade you to read this very odd and beautiful essay by a student of mine that knows what time it is?
If you told me there was this amazing essay about Simon & Garfunkel & a horse farm I *needed* to read, I'd--well, I wouldn't. But damn, this is it, by Cassidy Exner, latest in series of young writers approaching the Trumpocene slant rhyme. callingallsyllables.substack.com/p/eddie-wher...

So is anyone ever going to ask these people what is wrong with being Palestinian? bsky.app/profile/atru...
After calling Schumer a "Palestinian," Leavitt refers to "Gavin Newscum." So she's just ripping off her boss's smears now.

I need people to understand these men aren’t pedophiles: they’re opportunists. They’re worse than pedophiles. They have no compulsion to hurt children, they do it because they *can*

These men must be prohibited from wielding all forms of power. They must lose their jobs, connections & wealth.
A teenager in Florida with a homeless parent wanted money for braces and ended up having sex for money with powerful men, setting off a chain of events that would have a dramatic impact on her life and help upend the political career of Representative Matt Gaetz. nyti.ms/49PSkL9

The only reason we know anything about the Epstein files is because the survivors refused to give up.

This release is about the the bravery & tenacity of the survivors who continue to fight for justice in a system seeking to crush, silence, and erase them.

A number of local Chicago reporters/journalists have truly distinguished themselves over the past few weeks and I am so very grateful. It also shows that reporting is a public service when done well. Thank you all.

To review:
Email #1: Jeff Epstein says he "gave" a 20-year old girl to Trump
Email #2: Epstein says Trump "knew about the girls" he was recruiting at Mara Lago for his pedophile ring and Trump never reported it.
Email #3: Epstein says an underage victim "spent hours" at Epstein's house with Trump

This describes basically the entire "rationalist" movement, starting from the 2000s, that morphed into the tech reactionary anti-democracy movement now.
We gotta have a clear term for people so cynical they become gullible.

This comes as part of an extended chat between Epstein and Larry Summers, in which Summers is defending Trump, and notorious pedophile ring leader Jeffrey Epstein says no, Trump is a very bad person.
Still working our way through approx. 23,000 pages of Epstein related documents released by House Oversight Cmte.

In another email.. this one from Feb. 2017.. Epstein references Trump

The social-interpersonal ethics of American businesses is such that executives are treated like mini kings, which very much has an “elites kicked in the head by a mule”/“dictator’s dilemma” effect on their sense-making and constructed knowledge, and how people just carry out their insane decisions.

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.

A short and incisive thread on the situation at the NYT from someone who has written for them
I think there are a number of people employed at the New York Times -- certainly not all of them, but many! -- who simply do not grasp how badly the paper's credibility has been shaken over the past few years, along several different axes, and for multiple different reasons
