I've been really frustrated with the solipsism of Jewish institutions that try to stoke panic over Mamdani while remaining largely silent on the actual fascist threat in the US. IMO a much better use of their religious authority would be joining clerics from other faiths at anti-ICE protests.

I'm kind of baffled how the "moderates" have apparently all decided to turn against climate policy at once, just as China reaches green electrostate liftoff mode. I thought these people were all about National Greatness and making Hard Choices

One reason the political influence of billonaires has been pernicious is that at certain levels of wealth, people will fawn over whatever inane brain diarrhea you emit as though they’ve just bumped into Socrates in the agora.
Something that’s so striking in these emails is how…unimpressive Epstein is. He comes off as a pompous, sub-literate lech. Yes everyone is so mortifyingly solicitous of him! All fawning and flattery! Why?????
