But also maybe they should ruin his life?
A guy asking Epstein for advice on how to sexually harass a junior colleague knows exactly what Epstein was and was clearly OK with it. I am frankly OK with someone ruining his life.
Evidently it ought to have happened decades ago.

Larry Summers is 70. Firing him is not ruining his life.

"average suburban democrat wants half the administration to rot in prison until the end of time" actualy just statistical error. Average dem wants them all to burn in unending fire. Bodhisattva Georg, who is filled with total compassion for all beings, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.
your average suburban democrat wants half the administration to rot in prison until the end of time, and anyone more moderate than that position is unlikely to hold office for very long

lowkey the most hilarious part of this is the high-paying job cleaning up other people’s prose
Sorry, but I can’t stop thinking about how many overqualified, underemployed journalists are currently living on the West Coast with years of local experience and extensive contacts in the region’s many globally important sectors… And this is who Vanity Fair chose to hire as its West Coast Editor.

When my Hold All These Motherfuckers Accountable party is assembling its national agenda, piratic old monopoly utilities are high on the list of targets.
In one of the poorest states in the nation, people have no choice but to buy electricity from a monopoly utility that rakes in record profits from residential bills that are among the highest in the nation. Great article on how Alabama Power and its captured regulator got where they are today.
How Alabama Power Kept Bills Up and Opposition Out to Become One of the Most Powerful Utilities in the Country - Inside Climate News
In one of the poorest states in America, the local utility earns massive profits producing dirty energy with almost no pushback from state regulators.

For thirty years I worked in the post-Soviet successor states in Central Asia and observed over and over again precisely the cycle that Bill Kristol describes. Corruption leads to authoritarianism, directly. The path is utterly predictable.
