SO GLAD Super Bowl viewers will see victims' message. context: Epstein's "sweetheart deal" is widely understood to have occurred in 2008, when ink dried on guilty plea and he got wrist-slapped
not necessarily so, particularly if we scrutinize events in 2006-2007.

The universe conspires when you're underwater on invoices and a green dot appears. Issue 4 of THE BOULDER drops Saturday 2/15. Animated reel set to Ned's Atomic Dustbin's "Happy" because nothing about the gig economy is.

There were six or seven agents, trying to harm a man who looks unarmed and still they murdered him in broad daylight. These ICE agents are venal, incompetent, cowardly and this type of execution will keep on happening because they are an unchecked paramilitary force of scared men who crave power.

The wealthy are always so GD worried some poor people are gonna commit some small time fraud. Meanwhile, big corporations are committing HUGE afraid. Just look at defense contractors.
Why? Because we have all been taught to see the wealthy as virtuous and to see the poor as lazy and unworthy.

Thanks to Reddit, I found out that Cyberpunk 2077 was on sale for $17.49 (from $70). I bought it right away on the Nintendo eshop. I was never gonna buy it otherwise. Turns out IT WAS AN ERROR. It’s now back to regular price. LOL.
