When history looks back to this time, and the swift crumbling of the government and society, they won't have to wonder for centuries what happened.
They can point to the manual that was available long before it happened.

A handy little tip I gave myself came to me when I realized even if you’ve bought someone’s album on Bandcamp, it might still be better to stream it elsewhere so that artist can make some extra cents. Except on Spotify because no matter how much you play it there, the musician will get bupkis.

Dont mistake this as a hopeful sign that Trump is becoming weaker. In reality, the ultimate power center is not Trump—it is the oligarchs who ensured his return to power and continue to support him, and releasing the Epstein files has no impact on most of them.
