Here’s my deep cut historian hot take on Epstein:
You don’t get Epstein without a guy named Stanford White.
Men in power have always protected themselves and each other

Is doing it because they’re in the Epstein Files

US institutions were created by and to privilege white monied men above all and are functioning as intended.
The senate was described at our founding as being a cooling plate for democracy. It, too, is functioning as intended

If the Duke of York escaped prison, fled to France, raised an army and landed at Newhaven to try to overthrow his brother I’m not saying it would be a good thing but as a historian I wouldn’t exactly hate it.

Imagine publicly announcing that you can’t get laid and are undateable.
Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”

For all the folks reply to this about how the prep doesn't really suck anymore, this really depends on what your insurance covers. For mine, they only covered the sucky one. Next time, I will pay out of pocket for the pills (not the gross drink).
Please, please get a colonoscopy. The prep kind of sucks, but it's the best sleep you'll ever have. And it could save your life.
