If the Republican strategy is "if you reveal the President is a pedophile we'll reveal tons of other pedophiles" then... Okay? Go for it? Take them all down? Send them all to jail forever? www.nytimes.com/live/2025/11...

every tiny crumb that leaks out is a career ending bombshell and we’re all just supposed to go on with our lives while our elected representatives shrug and tell us there’s nothing to be done about the president’s involvement in a child sex trafficking operation
A direct email exchange from 2011 between Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, just released by House Oversight Committee Democrats.

I know Trump wiggles out of everything but the economy is actively collapsing and the Epstein files are going to come out, so…

One of the GOP's sweatier Epstein defenses has been "if they had good stuff they'd have used it when Biden was president." But the growing awareness that Garland spiked anything that could look political explains this!
I feel like “mad at Merrick Garland” is going to hit a whole new level.

Right, these are the two options: Either they tolerated Epstein's eugenics to get to the sex crimes or they tolerated his sex crimes to get to the eugenics
It seems like all of the rich and powerful people around him patronizingly tolerated the race science stuff (“he has such an inquisitive and childlike mind”) in order to get access to his harem of underage sex slaves
The Epstein stuff is always so amazing to me because it's like "yes he was a sex criminal but if you can get past that, he was also an avowed eugenicist"

Filmmaking is an inherently autistic profession. You take what are essentially the blueprints for assembly in a factory and use them to emotionally manipulate people.

Wild to think that there's a junior exec walking around Manhattan right now who, within a month, will be sent by her firm back to her hometown to close a local business, only to run into a former-flame turned tree-farming cookie enthusiast who'll change her life via the power of Christmas.

Really, it's the "now look what you've made me do... this hurts me more than it hurts you" abuser mindset that animates the underlying politics to begin with
the arg is literally "if only wokeness didn't go so far, we wouldn't have postliberalism"

which. lol. lmao. lmfao.
Funny that the 'only liberals have agency" framing is adopted even on the Right, they've essentially made themselves NPCs

Am I to believe there is supposed to be plot continuity between different Bond actors? Because what the fuck are we talking about here?
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:

“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

OSCAR ISAAC, on whether he'd return to "Star Wars":

".. Yeah. I mean, I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great."

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.
