@nature.com you claim that Krauss had "no knowledge" of Epstein's crimes until after 2018, but there is absolute proof that he was defending Epstein as early as 2011, after he had already been convicted in 2008

This is documented in the Epstein files and here:

In 1825, a skilled Black artisan taught a young medical student, Charles Darwin, how to preserve animal specimens via taxidermy, a skill he used in his exploration of the Galapagos.

John Edmonstone was born a slave in Guyana, but freed when the family who owned him moved back to Scotland.

That was in 2019, when no one really suspected she was a traitor. She was a veteran! But one doubts that he feels that way today.

omfg I miss stumbleupon

My old ass internet thing: I still use an rss reader but there used to be SO MANY curated feed lists to subscribe to & all the new music I loved in the early 00s was from music blogs

Fuck, I really miss actual niche blogs. Like sex blogs do not seem to exist at all anymore?

Remember when we were told we were being hyperbolic for saying that the conservatives whining about woke are disingenuous fucknuggets who are actually just pushing racism?

Three great moments in her thread.
1. ignorance of actual debates on race and catcalling.
2. admitted that she knew no study showing black men disproportionately catcalled.
3. claimed others were racist, because being catcalled brightened her day, so black men disproportionately brighten her days.

this is one of the amazing things about this. he's apparently a jew with dyslexia and he's in the eugenics email chain like "what if jews and dyslexics are actually the master race"

this should really lead to reflection about if dividing people into ubermenschen and untermenschen is a good idea
In some ways it's actually way funnier that Epstein was super big into racist, eugenicist "race and IQ" stuff while also having a literal learning disability
FINALLY A CLEAN RECEIPT

The thing is, Chomsky was always fervent in his liberalism and campism, which fit together snugly.

His paling with Epstein was *ideologically consistent.* It's inseparable from his constant defenses of holocaust deniers, hostility to antifa, and endless cover for dictators and atrocities.
Oh smart man genius intellectual Chomsky got hoodwinked into taking tons of money from Epstein & being his fanboy? So how smart are we supposed to take him for?

In political philosophy, a central insight of (small-r) republicanism is that a kind master is still a master, and that relationship itself makes the subject unfree. Same with the ultrarich. Counting on them to put the interests of society before their own myopic interests is playing with fire.
