“the Epstein class” should be THE tagline tbh. it’s so accurate their only defense is redactions, and it captures a hundred different linked evils at once. it also perfectly clarifies why trying to distinguish btw “kitchen table issues” (ie money) and “identity politics” (ie misogyny) is impossible
Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work.
Maybe top three:
“Please answer the question.”
“…because he’s an asshole.”
“When I tell you ‘this is going to move slowly,’ whatever you think ‘slowly’ means, double it, and add six months.’”

Most Heated Rivalry coverage has been focused on what young people, particularly younger straight women, think. I cover aging and decided to ask older gay men about their thoughts.
I found: A founder of what may have been the first gay hockey blog, a wedding cake shaped like a Zamboni and more.

Older gay men built their own hockey fandom. Then came 'Heated Rivalry.'
The hit show is an unexpected invitation for some older gay hockey fans to reflect on love, acceptance and coming out.

Clout chasers truly don’t realize, or don’t care, that they are one of the MAJOR disseminators of propaganda and misinformation. That they’re playing into the hands of fascists. That their selfishness is a danger to us all.
This is a fake Trump post, and the account that posted it here has been told repeatedly that it's a fake Trump post but still has it up.
That's an easy block.

How embarrassing! I forgot to put my rent check downstairs on the first or second. 😳 Landlord is around today, they were doing some cleaning next door, wonder if that means the work is finished? To his credit, he was worried something was wrong, let him know I was sick at the start of the month.
