Why are you making me cry again Dave?
This is George. 7.5kg of pure orange himbo. He was found on the side of a road at 3 weeks old with no sign of a mother. I handraised him and loved him, but he tolerated me and was a total daddy's boy.
I miss him every single day.

I was not at all surprised to see references to Tr*mp with young girls in those emails. I was surprised, however, at how much Epstein seemed to despise him. Imagine how morally bankrupt you have to be for a serial child sex trafficker to think you’re “evil beyond belief.”

We’re in need of high calorie canned food for the Flophousers to put some weight on their bones for the cold of winter. We could sure use your help in getting this done. On behalf of the Wayward Felines I thank you in advance.
Our feral/stray cats live in vacant lots/graffitied buildings/trash dumpsters & car crowded streets. They get food/H2O/rest/love at the West Phoenix Flophouse & Kibble Kitchen For Wayward Felines. If you are able to help them nutritionally you may do so at: PayPal.me/projectsimonson Thank you.

Interesting article. I have seen a few anecdotal stories about this in the past so it is nice to see someone looking into the science behind it.
As a species, we have low genetic diversity anyway.
Apparently I have several local doppelgängers. I also live not far from where quite a few ancestors were known to settle.

If you haven’t read this book yet, please do. it’s so good. much has been written about a small percentage of Hollywood’s most visible monsters - mostly the ones who did straight-up crime - but Mo digs much deeper on so many people who never faced justice for the lives and careers they ruined
ANYWAY! My 2023 book -- about systemic, institutionalized, longstanding patterns of misconduct, abuse, predation, and the enabling and even the celebration of same by the powerful -- was titled Burn It Down 🔥🔥🔥🔥 just sayin' bookshop.org/p/books/burn...

The question everyone is asking right now is this: NYT had deep access into all of this in real time and reported none of it. Why? In consequence, no NYT reporting on this subject is trustworthy.

Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?
Stuff like this makes me wonder why there hasn't been any reporting about Trump having affairs during his presidencies
