Cynic watching the world burn with popcorn and whisky. Living sci-fi is always going to be worse than reading it.

To note very bluntly my view of the next span of years, I will quote Neville Chamberlain: "It is the evil things we fight against, brute force, bad faith, injustice, oppression, and persecution and against them I am confident the right will prevail."

I cannot believe I am unconditionally endorsing a message from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, but here we are, Father Bob was better at the dark arts of Church politics than anyone could have guessed.
Good statement from the US conference of Catholic Bishops

Bill Clinton may or may not (i incline to may) have had women provided for him by Epstein but unlike all those dumbasses he definitely had the basic common sense to break off social ties with a convicted pedophile.
Very funny development that Bill Clinton is not only not implicated in the emails, Epstein explicitly says “nah he was never on the island”. Slick Willie lives again

We really have a such a lucky set of coincidences. Strong gravitational field holding the atmosphere against the planet, iron core that spins to create a magnetic field deflecting the magnetic flux from the sun, Jupiter’s gravity eating asteroids, etc

Good to know that it’s not just NYT leadership that’s in favor of printing doxx given to them by Nazis and acquired via hacking; the rank and file are cool with it, too!

Fuck you, Elizabeth, and fuck the NYT forever

If your go-to attack, before accusations of conspiracy theorizing and misogyny, is that someone is beneath your regard because they’re a “rando” unlike you, one of the Important People, maybe take a step back and think about what that says about you.
"I'm a rando who prefers to believe that everything is a conspiracy and am happy to tell women that I know better than she does how their literal job works" That a news org makes an editorial decision you wouldn't (or I wouldn't) doesn't mean someone is killing a story on behalf of a powerful person
"I write for the New York Times, and I can assure you that we've never buried stories on behalf of powerful people, many of those powerful people being part of NYT management. We only publish what's fit to print, like Zohran's application to Columbia that was leaked by a white nationalist"

No idea what’s going on as I’m busy with my own shit but it’s remarkable how nobody circles the wagons like the NYT.
Any criticism is not only invalid on its face but it Is also malicious and detrimental to puppies and orphaned baby deer

It doesn’t mean they killed the story. But it doesn’t mean they didn’t kill the story, either

The NYT has done a lot of good reporting on Trump. But they have also made numerous decisions that favored Donald Trump & can most charitably be described as very peculiar or perplexing

You know, it might not be a bad thing for Democrats if the national media spent some time discussing the appropriateness of Donald Trump having sex with 15 year old girls.
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."

Also notable that they’re not even defending Donald Trump here, they’re defending Epstein himself.

also the more they say it the less i believe it
“Actually, he only raped teenagers” is a hell of a thing to say out loud.

One big change that seems small is if they changed the filibuster rules back from “chosen and sworn” to “present and voting,” all of a sudden the burden shifts from a majority to break a filibuster to a minority to maintain it. If they could do only one small thing, this would be the thing IMO.
Tim Kaine will 1000% vote to kill the filibuster in 2029 if we have a D trifecta just fwiw. he wanted to kill it in 2021 for voting rights legislation.

At the risk of going full fundie, I’ll take it a step more and say the performative disrespect for norms is ultimately the same sickness that produced Trump.
Ah, at long last we can finally admit that Piss Christ was just facile provocation
This is what male solidarity & collective action to oppress women looks like:

Artist Andres Serrano--successful, but nowhere near the same class as Thiel & other billionaires in the files--stating that he'll vote for Trump, despite his politics, out of *sympathy* with T's sexual assaults on women.

my brain immediately tried to find a way to work the "Lisa needs braces" meme into this story about teen sex trafficking and no punishment you all could inflict will exceed the shame i feel for that
The woman whom the House Ethics Committee determined Matt Gaetz paid for sex when she was 17 years old was living in a homeless shelter, working at McDonald's, and needed the money for braces www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/u...

They did that already by overturning Roe V Wade and banning abortion. In Tx alone approximately 26,313 pregnancies resulting from rape in Texas during the 16 months after the state's total abortion ban went into effect www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/new...

But the NYT had evidence directly contradicting Donald Trump‘s claims that he’d never been to Epstein‘s house and that they cut ties 15 years ago.

Seems like that could’ve been a story.
I am not defending Landon’s relationship with Epstein. In fact, the NYT didn’t even try to defend it. He left the paper. What I’m saying is that a piece of investigative journalism that exposes a secret, criminal act such as statutory rape requires far more than what is in these emails.

Yeah, but there are myriad procedural and aging issues that could be leveled at Trump, and they just won’t. Not with any enthusiasm.

More than anything else, powerful men - like the ones who run the NYT - believe in the legitimacy of power itself. Because if it isn’t legitimate, they have to start asking hard questions about the world and themselves.

If the GOP endorses racism, or transphobia, or dictatorship, they believe that these ideas must be, at least in part, acceptable ones - because to recognize them as unacceptable calls the whole process of power into question.

Procedural violations (her emails) or personal flaws (Biden’s aging) are understandable in this framework and need to be punished to reassert the legitimacy of the system. “The president is a rapist who participated in a child trafficking network” breaks the whole premise of legitimacy.

I dunno but if you’re feeling defensive about NYT taking heat for decades of feigning ignorance on Epstein, maybe sit in your feels and reflect. Because without any public whipping at all @jkbjournalist.bsky.social went at the story head on and now we’re here.

“With great power comes great responsibility” is the core moral of what is fundamentally a famous picture book for children. It is quite naturally far too complex a text for our media betters to comprehend.
