OK. It was The Smoking Gun. They deserved for me to remember their name. I plead getting older.
I bring them up because what they published shows what was publicly know about Jeffrey Epstein and when, which is important to evaluate the character of the people dealing with him in the 2010s.

Trying to remember that small online journalistic outlet that used to publish primary documents, often leaked, that was one of the first to publish the police reports from the early 2000s Jeffrey Epstein investigation.

As somebody who has worked on Wall Street for the last 19 years, I promise you that a lot of people who are insanely rich - not just average millionaires, people with true wealth - are dumb as dog shit, but just have no morals and know ways to make tons of money by not caring about hurting people.
Dumb and evil are not mutually exclusive and Elon is not a genius, or even an above average thinker. I have dealt with enough of these people directly to see their stupidity in action, not just reading about it on this website.
I am once again begging liberals to understand the difference between dumb (which they are not) and evil (which they are).
Do people like Elizabeth truly not grasp this? You are *paid to observe people*!!! How much more do you need to see?

A female ICE thug posing as a distressed motorist in neighborhoods of Brooklyn Park (63% non-white), MN, to entrap good samaritans. This is the same MO Ted Bundy used to lure his victims to their demise.

A year later Weev would play a key role in professionalizing the trolls who played a key role in getting Trump elected.
A strange find from the Epstein files:
A hacker named Vincenzo Iozzo shares with Epstein a rumor that Peter Thiel was "bankrolling" the neo-Nazi white supremacist hacker troll known as "weev."
Conversation is about financial strategies and "currencies."

I fundamentally believe this era is an illusion. The current versions of Codex and Claude Code are costing OpenAI and Anthropic so much money because they’re running at like a negative 150% gross margin. All improvements involve more and more compute. The limits will be sudden and brutal.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

ICE is still active all across Minnesota, even parking at observers homes this morning. But we’ve been showing up all weekend with massive food drives, placing hearts where were abducted, at singing marches, and there’s another big protest at Jackson Square Park today at noon. Let’s keep showing up!

Bondi did exactly what Trump does. The Republicans support Trump when he gets up there and calls people names, lies, and deflects. Why are they upset about Bondi doing it?
Bondi’s performance (and it was a performance) at that hearing mimicked Trump at every presser he’s done.

It really is amazing how much of political punditry, *especially* elite outfits in NYC and Washington, still embrace this bizarre idea that rural spaces represent the "Real America" while metropolitan areas, where most (presumably real) Americans actually live, should be held in contempt.
Just going to point out again that our arbitrary political rules permit Republicans to attack urban areas with impunity but strictly forbid the faintest whiff of condescension toward rural areas by Democrats
“The first thing I thought was, ‘What is she talking about?’” said Bryan Fish, the vice mayor of Culver City, whom everyone calls Bubba but doesn’t look like someone whom everyone calls Bubba. “The only crime here,” he added, “is like the $18 strawberry at Erewhon.”
