When I was at NC state, I had lunch with a visiting scholar from Sweden who was visiting US universities for the first time. He described his experience as touring “hedge funds with football teams.”
That is so much money

When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

OMG
My three-year-old was reading the Epstein emails when she turned to me gravely and asked "Daddy, why is the nice orange man joking with the sex offender on his computer?" And when I told her "Because women made it impossible to joke in the workplace," she started crying.

After 2025 the November full moon will be called the Epstein moon because so many asses are showing.
In 2023, Chomsky told WSJ about his relationship with Epstein: “First response is that it is none of your business. Or anyone’s. Second is that I knew him and we met occasionally.”

Epstein: you are of course welcome to use apt in new york with your new leisure time, or visit new Mexico again

Jesus Christ, where does Jeff Koons show up in here?
This is what male solidarity & collective action to oppress women looks like:

Artist Andres Serrano--successful, but nowhere near the same class as Thiel & other billionaires in the files--stating that he'll vote for Trump, despite his politics, out of *sympathy* with T's sexual assaults on women.

The actual gulf between people with and without kids is that for one group 5-7pm is the perfect time to schedule a union meeting and for the other it's equivalent to starting a nuclear war
