I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.

Predictable but still amazing to watch people who spent literally years accusing every librarian, teacher, and trans person they could find of sexually grooming children suddenly throw themselves in with "actually it's ephebophilia"
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

This is the dream of every industry developed post-2008. We haven’t had actual growth since then, just various debt-fueled, top-down hype cycles because everyone wants the deal that the banks got: Become so essential that any risk is collectively funded and all rewards are private.
OpenAI has now committed to $1.4T in AI infrastructure spending on chips, cloud devices and data centers. If it falls through, there will be significant ripple effects as many companies have their fortunes tied to its success.
The AI bubble popping won’t just take down AI startups.

Sovereign citizen shot shot two people only weeks ago, there’s Nazis mobilising and a Labor MP is touting a MAGA fash narrative
Labor MP Tom Koutsantonis, South Australia's new treasurer, has told The Australian he is "very worried about that type of woke agenda"
"Young men used to make up a big cohort of Labor voters...a lot feel as if they have no voice representing them from any party," he said
