i know i shouldn’t be but every time a new epstein thing lands i’m genuinely amazed by the number of cishet men who are willing to admit on the public internet that they’ve never once sat down and really thought about how often women are sexually assaulted and from how young an age.

Yo the thing about "barely legal" is that there is no such thing as "barely illegal".

To all the weirdos defending Megyn Kelly: 15 year olds are underage, and that is statutory rape.

the way that 87 year old, Pulitzer Prize nominated, National Book Award winning laureate Joyce Carol Oats gets under the skin of craven, noted-idiot Elon Musk is a sight to behold. He is so afraid of old women, women who are smarter than him, AND people who can dunk on him. I love this for her.
I know, everybody should leave X, but I think an exception should be made solely for Joyce Carol Oates so she can keep wounding Musk's withered soul on his own site and he can't do a thing about it.

So at the beginning of Nov Congress would have been paid, unless they specifically had their pay check held.
I would argue they should donate it because they haven’t worked.
Maybe a good question for reporters to catalog?
