My impression from limited info is that rather than blackmailing rich perverts, Epstein was using them as like, an affinity group to solicit finance clients. "Our buddy Jeff is running a mutual fund with a shady tax strategy" that sort of deal

thinking about those Toxoplasmas that make mice sexually attracted to cats, so it can continue its lifecycle. Wonder if we've seen the end of RFK Jr's many parasites, or if there are exciting new discoveries yet unknown to science

I mean new land gets made too, it's all mantle material that pushes up and cools off, volcanos and metamorphic intrusions and all that

know a fellow on the engineering validation end of it who saw the whole arc from the start with FDA saying "hey these might be a good cigarette replacement for harm reduction, let's see where this goes", and then to Juul deciding to pivot their core target consumers to middle schoolers

this is a tedious correction but my understanding is that Bluesky Users writ large watch a lot of television, in two broad buckets: "Andor" and "Baseball"

when I DMed one of my house rules was "Players roll all the dice". I actually really liked it. They would keep track of what kind of rolls hit and missed, and figure out the enemy's attack bonus. And that was neat because they were adjusting tactics as they gathered info during combat
