On Polymarket you can now bet on how many people in a different market on Polymarket think Jesus Christ will return in this calendar year.

29% of bets say that more than 5% of bets in the Jesus Christ return market will be a "yes" 9 days from now.

Anyway everyone involved in this needs jailtime.

I feel like I scresm into the voice, but white supremacy is made up of racism AND misogyny. Only seeing one side of this means it is not being confronted- and the US excels and being blind to misogyny. Yes, Epstrin is particularly grotesque as everyone fought to hide it, but this is everywhere.
Really important corrective to the discourse that regards the Epstein scandal an outlier, as if the only men who ever rape are rich and powerful men.

A lot of people, and not just conservative men, use the Epstein scandal as a way to escape thinking about bigger issues.....

The bosses are forcing their employees to use it. Politicians are competing to shovel money & infrastructure at it. The billionaires who control media are constantly lecturing & hectoring people to accept it & use it more.

They don't care it's losing money. They don't care people hate it.

seeing a lot of discourse lately about this tweet and just want to point out that it’s from 2020, whatever else you think about it.

not sure the author would say the same today. (he might!)

have to think Carl Schmitt would have had follow up thoughts eventually though.

The prioritization of STEM in primary and secondary education to the detrimental of the humanities and social sciences is one of the most anti-intellectual amd voluntary own-goal the US ever did.

gotta agree with this. at some point we all have to contend with what good faith is actually for and extend it accordingly
A lot of our political discourse would be easier if we didn't extend good faith to people who would never extend it back.

This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.

You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

Even when elected Dems are told by constituents - TO THEIR FACE - they want ICE abolished, elected Dems show their true colors.

Those colors are pro-fascist.
“Renee Goodman [sic], Alex Pretti – there are no words,” DeLauro said.

“You said there were no words after the murder of those two individuals,” said Rev. Jack Perkins Davidson. “I think the words are ‘Abolish ICE.’”

I cannot stand the "this is a good start" discourse. The Democrats in Congress do not want to abolish ICE. They have proposed a series of bog-standard reforms regurgitated by a think tank. Everyone knows they do not work. The Democrats supporting this do not care. They just want to move on.

If you, for whatever reason, still subscribe to the WaPo, just stop.

If you are MacKenzie Scott or Melinda Gates and want to help America, there is something amazing you could do.

I love reading Elizabeth Spiers, but I think she misunderstands Bezos motive. He is NOT trying to save the WaPo. If he was, he'd follow what he did in 2017.
I don't know what it is about idiots who buy newspapers without understanding why they exist or what their business is, but I think gutting books coverage is some kind of canary in the coalmine. These jackasses don't read books, so they assume no one else does either.

1. Build huge subscriber base by telling them their $ supports democracy.
2. Don’t establish other revenue sources.
3. Rug-pull subscribers by pushing opinion side to the right.
4. Subscribers leave, revenue falls.
5. Enact crippling newsroom cuts.

I'm worried that the broader public isn't really understanding the Epstein Files. The problem isn't that everyone in the files is a secret pedophile, it's that all the people are corresponding with him because they *don't care that he's a pedophile*. It's a story of elite impunity.
You can look at the Epstein files and conclude that only bad people have billions of dollars, but I think it’s also possible that having billions of dollars cauterizes your humanity
