Hey, just an aside - please don’t feel like you have to follow me because I followed you - you don’t, this isn’t a trade.
That’s it. I could probably discuss more about why I “follow” people1️⃣, but that’s just really subtext.

It is very funny that one of the only people, out of thousands of the ultra rich and celebrities who were exposed to Trump and Epstein's pedophilia, who immediately said fuck this and got out of there was the dude from 2 Live Crew
NEWS: In a resurfaced interview from nearly a decade ago, rapper Uncle Luke of 2 Live Crew says he fled a Trump party in Palm Beach in the early 1990s after seeing what appeared to be underage girls at a sex- and drug-fueled event

the Tina Brown era of THE DAILY BEAST is the first time I ever saw real reporting on Epstein - like reporting that was like "hey what the fuck is this billionaire pedophile doing and why isnt he in prison" not "this mysterious bachelor financier's lifestyle is AMAZING" stuff

Every time this comes up I wonder if we're ever going to shift the conversation to why women are avoiding them.

Trying to decide which part is better:
"were always in the presence of others" which is a totally normal thing that everybody is constantly saying.
"focused on decision-making" is definitely a sensible thing to say given all of Epstein's decisions and this guy's decision to hang out with him.

One of the key things they did was use Nazi officials' braggadocious speeches as evidence.

This blog post contains a reflection on the nature and state of African history, a quiz and a reading list. I hope that it reminds us that the failure to study the history of humanity is an act of self-destruction and that African history is always world history.
