the thing is, there's no fucking reason for FEMA funding to be attached to the DHS and everyone fucking knows it. and the feds are currently wandering around killing American civilians with impunity and stealing their neighbors, and everyone knows it. so i do not think their little theory is sound!

the number of academics who were in touch with Epstein really puts the (elite) backlash to Title IX's enforcement against sexual violence into perspective.
DiChristina also invited Epstein to attend an editorial meeting for the Scientific American, where she worked as editor-in-chief.
Correspondence from 2010 also showed DiChristina on a guest list for a meeting on “the islands,” though it was not immediately clear what Epstein meant by “islands.”

i worked in a levantine deli doing prep and delivery and for that reason, i do not use the grubhubs of the world. we have filled the earth with middlemen taking a cut of everything, and we are all worse off for it.
my most peepaw-coded trait is that I angrily refuse to use DoorDash (and similar apps) because I know the markup is so insane versus “picking the food up myself” - and that money doesn’t go to the restaurant.
By god, I will drive or walk my ass over to the restaurant and get it myself.
