There is so much to say about the vileness of Ken Starr, who died in 2022 not nearly as disgraced as he should have been. bsky.app/profile/asha...
Also Starr is offering to help out an “unhappy friend” of Epstein’s who apparently has been accused of some kind of sexual misconduct, perhaps at university. Remember Starr helped cover up sexual misconduct on football team when he was president of Pepperdine
Ken Starr signed an email to Jeffery Epstein with "hugs"

"This could take down Democrats, too."

I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office.

Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.

performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!

tell me about a book that changed you

for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

haha, a year. i am very sorry to report that somewhere in romancelandia, a white woman is probably writing this and is planning to self-publish something like this within weeks.
We're probably a year away from someone dropping what they'll describe as a "griping Romeo & Juliet story" about an ICE agent falling for a woman he tear-gassed while kidnapping her father.

It'll be written by a white woman from a law enforcement family, and she'll be *shocked* by the backlash.
They’re going to try, they’re going to find a very popular actor, and they’ll shoot it morosely, and they’ll tell you they’re really trying to “honor the story” of the people they targeted for kidnapping and detention amid this psychological study.

Hoops, MMA, and now baseball, just this month ... gambling is destroying the integrity of big-time US athletics. 🤑

Notably, the ppl who said trans athletes threatened the integrity of sports are all silent abt this.

Betting on granular in-game stats shd be illegal. Game outcomes only, IMO. 🧵

Senate Democrats are the only group of people in America that could look at the election results from *less than a week ago* and conclude, “Ah, what the people want now is for us to roll over and show our bellies to the reactionary creeps”
