If they just aired it they could claim they're not biased. If they just left Trump's name in a couple innocuous Epstein reports they could claim there's nothing else to see. This is Saddam/Putin shit, claiming he got 100% of the vote. They're very stupid fascists!

Maria Farmer’s FBI report from 1996. If law enforcement had taken this more seriously, how many Epstein victims might have been spared?

Woman comes to US at age 6. Graduates nursing school. Work permit. No criminal record. Snatched and imprisoned by ICE for 6 months now. About to be forced back to Honduras. A life destroyed and one less nurse. Merry Christmas.

HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files:

Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.

The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.

Also good: @mattbelloni.bsky.social highlighting the wild amount of $ these WBD execs stand to make from a sale
The funniest Warner Discovery grift: I know, we all love to read about how much richer David Zaslav will get from the sale of Warner Bros. Discovery, a company from which he aggressively drained value during his three years as C.E.O. (and which he should never have created in the first place). But let's at least acknowledge his other C-suite collaborators, who aren't far behind in the outrageous golden parachute pecking order. Thanks to Paramount's S.E.C. filing this week, we can now see the total payouts in cash, equity, and benefits if the company were to sell: David Zaslav, C.E.O.: $567.7 million Gunnar Wiedenfels, C.F.O.: $144.9 million Bruce Campbell, chief revenue and strategy officer, $138.5 million JB Perrette, C.E.O. and president, global streaming and games: $167.4 million Gerhard Zeiler, president, international: $95.2 million That's more than a billion bucks to five executives, ghoulish money for all of them. But the funniest grifter of all might be Amy Girdwood, the chief people and culture officer, who stands to make $28.9 million in vested stock awards. A pittance compared to the others, but that's nearly $30 million to the H.R. person! Who has no involvement in the strategy and direction of the company! And that's before any further bidding!

What gets me about executives at movie/videogame studios being taken aback at consumer backlash to AI is that they seem genuinely surprised that we like the human beings that make the things that we like

I'm very tired of repeating myself about this, but, as someone who works professionally on housing affordability, this is a disgusting lie.

Vance: "Why have rents gone down for 4 consecutive months? Because we're starting to get those illegal aliens out of the USA. Those criminals, those gang members, those people that are taking homes that ought by right go the people in this room. It's simple economics."

There should be a constitutional mechanism for removing a president. Not impeachment, something that actually works, maybe like a catapult

Live a life that makes Trump attack you when you die.
Rob Reiner was creative, generous, and intelligent; all things a stupid petty narcissist conman finds threatening.
Rob left a lasting legacy. Trump will leave nothing when he dies, just a gold plated gravestone people will only visit to piss on

As a Border Patrol boss, Bovino has repeatedly cited the threat of undocumented immigrants who’ve killed U.S. citizens while driving drunk. The Trump administration said Midway Blitz was launched in Chicago in honor of one of them, a 20-year-old DUI victim. In 1981, Bovino’s father, Mike Bovino, killed a young woman after drunkenly crashing his truck head-on into her car in the hilly little resort town of Blowing Rock, N.C., near the Bovinos’ home. Newspaper accounts described the victims’ car as “bowled over by the impact.” There were no skid marks. Bovino was uninjured. (Chicago Sun Times)

Despite what MLB keeps suggesting, I don’t think (smart) small market teams care about a salary cap.

Having six-plus years of player control is far more valuable than the ability to pay less to players you won’t sign anyway. A salary cap would just make being the Dodgers or Mets more profitable.
