Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

Far as I can tell, everyone's waiting to see if he can be tied to what he did in a way that is sufficiently clear & unambiguous that he can't avoid consequences.
But again: it's already clear. Everyone already knows! And there are no consequences. Maybe if it's ... even clearer?

Against my own instincts I am turning into a pretty unashamed credentialist. We've become so enamored of the Hollywood narrative where the scrappy outsider proves all the established experts wrong that we lose sight of how rare it is in reality, and how HUGELY damaging it is to treat as probable.
I'm kinda not a fan of credentialism
"Non-scientists" can have insight
And actual scientists can be grifters
So the substance is what matters
But how can you judge substance unless you're an expert lol
But also people just cherry pick their fave experts all the time too
No good solution really

If you are also a scientist, sure. If you aren't, like these guys, you should probably shut the fuck up and let the people whose opinions matter talk.

I maintain my position that white collar crime remains the most underprosecuted, and more vigilance on this would have saved us from at least two Trump presidencies before they happened. These guys are sloppy, they're just also stupidly intimidatingly rich. But not richer than the State.

One of the GOP's sweatier Epstein defenses has been "if they had good stuff they'd have used it when Biden was president." But the growing awareness that Garland spiked anything that could look political explains this!

When I call MAGA/GOP post-truth, this is what I mean. It’s hard for people who value truth to fully grasp.
“But don’t they care about underlying facts? Don’t they worry it’ll come out?”
No, they really don’t. They reject that factual reality matters. Words are just things you say to get something.

Trump's constant pattern is to try to neutralize attacks against him by accusing his adversaries of the exact thing he is guilty of, in hopes of turning it into a "both sides say."
Will always be puzzled as to why Republicans hammered so hard on the Epstein stuff given that it was obvious that it would be a huge risk for their own guy
Trump and Epstein were buddies throughout the height of his trafficking -- what did they think would happen?

Under-the-weather TikTokers are slicing raw potatoes and placing them in their — and their children’s — socks before bed. The theory is that the potato draws out toxins.
However, experts warn against relying on folk remedies over medical care.
