My soon-to-be teenage daughter had one of *those* mornings & claimed to HATE everyone in the world!!
I laughed & said "Me too, on many days! Want to see my hate-the-world playlist?"
She was not amused & did not want to see the playlist. =/
She got over it & apologized later.
Kids are awesome

I live in a time when "a cabal of pedophiles runs the country" and "the national media have been engaging in a multi a year long conspiracy to end democracy" are factual statements and I want a refund
About the same time the NYT sat on a scoop tying Trump to Epstein, Maggie Haberman was downright giddy (y'all) about NYT promoting an anti-Hillary Clinton book.

It is past time to draw negative inferences from the destruction of evidence.
An interesting tidbit in the joint status report filed in the Broadview ICE facility case today:
ICE says video from inside the facility "between October 19, 2025, and October 31, 2025, has been irretrievably destroyed" and can't be produced in discovery.

Predictable but still amazing to watch people who spent literally years accusing every librarian, teacher, and trans person they could find of sexually grooming children suddenly throw themselves in with "actually it's ephebophilia"
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

Emily Flitter's argument is, "well, Landon Thomas didn't have enough hard evidence that Trump raped children to get him convicted of statutory rape. Therefore, it's fine that NYT repeatedly buried Trump's connection to Epstein, while pushing anti-Clinton lies that it knew to be untrue.
