The idea that what people need is more proof rather than an honest reckoning, explanation and campaign around the already out there truths we all have access to is liberal propaganda

I mean, hasn’t “how Michael Wolff aspired to be part of elite circles he wrote about” been the Michael Wolff story in a nutshell since 1998?
Michael Wolff tried to buy New York Mag — with money from Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein.
So Wolff didn't just have a reporter-source relationship with Epstein. Nor was Wolff his informal PR adviser. They saw each other as potential business partners.

Predictable but still amazing to watch people who spent literally years accusing every librarian, teacher, and trans person they could find of sexually grooming children suddenly throw themselves in with "actually it's ephebophilia"
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."

This was a fun book review — and not just because Douglas Gwyn’s political theology aligns pretty neatly with my own, although that’s a big piece of it.
Modern-day Friends, Douglas Gwyn worries, have not only failed to understand the anarchist implications of the earliest Quakers’ beliefs but remain “stubbornly uninterested” in doing so, lulled into complacency by what that first generation used to call “the gods of this world.”
REVIEWED: A Revolution in Common
Doug Gwyn's vision of anarchy rooted in early Quaker history brings a dramatically apocalyptic perspective to current events.

“You simply cannot create a culture or a party of wholesale male entitlement and not wind up with women and girls paying the price — being the ones who bodies, livelihoods, and lives those men feel entitled to.”— @jillfilipovic.bsky.social
The Dogs That Haven't Barked
The Trump administration is a regime of restoring male power. That includes being a pedophile protection racket covering for men who sexually abuse girls.

this country will not be healed until genuinely rich and powerful people start experiencing genuinely severe consequences for their evil actions. these people will only respond to force.
And no, don’t tell me it’s somehow impossible - the U.S. is by no means exceptional in this regard, either.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

Today I learned that Jack Kirby and Joe Simon had worked on the original Captain Marvel and that he was Kirby’s favorite character that he had not created/co-created. Plus, Kirby wanted to work on the character when DC revived it, but DC refused. www.newsfromme.com/2025/11/12/a...

When people tell you who they are, believe them the first time.
In 1998, Michael Wolff published Burn Rate, the story of how he got cozy with a bunch of “new media” types (as we called them back then) to seek his own fortune.

Yep. The people who benefit the most by Trump’s presidency have probably known exactly what he’s done since 2015—and some of them didn’t have to be told about it—and it doesn’t matter to them as long as they get to keep money and power flowing to them.
Break THAT up, and maybe we’ll get somewhere.

The thing is, I don't really care about the Epstein Files. I'm pretty certain they are damning. I'm also pretty certain that the people who would care that they are damning are the people who already think Trump has no business being president. So I'd rather focus on disrupting his agenda.

Robert Anton Wilson’s Masks of the Illuminati sent me down quite the rabbit hole forty years ago, but I *think* I managed to get through Chapel Perilous fairly intact.

for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

I can no longer remember the actual lyrics to Vincent Price’s rap in “Thriller,” and whenever I try, my mind invariably turns to the spoken word introduction to “Diamond Dogs,” which is funny because if anyone were going to do that besides Bowie it would be Orson Welles.

You know, if A Better Tomorrow 2 could figure out how to deal with Chow Yun-fat’s character dying at the end of the previous film, I think the Bond screenwriters should be able to slap something together.
