epstein house democrat document dump excerpt, someone else not epstein writing it it began, "Lenny Bruce told me how all the night club comics used to Jack Ruby's "tattoo of a lady's schmutzik (translate: pussy) in his armpit." If it wasn't a fact, I was quite willing to settle for an apocryphal allusion which nevertheless crystallized the entire personality of that alleged murderer who wanted so very much to be liked.

as a heads up, unless your doctor said to specifically for the procedure, the QT is wrong (ice slows circ, enough that the RICE guy has retracted with advances in research)

not that incidental icing is nec. bad (esp. bc numbing), but it's not nec. all good either

Desperation grew, they said. Tito Martínez, 26, began to feel sick and weak, until he could not get out of bed and other men had to feed him, several recalled. Eventually, Mr. Martínez was brought to an infirmary, where he said he was beaten in front of medical personnel. There, he said, a woman who identified herself as a doctor told him: “‘Resign yourself. It’s time for you to die.’”

CECOT El Salvador update

They said they were punished in a dark room called the island, where they were trampled, kicked and forced to kneel for hours. One man said officers thrust his head into a tank of water to simulate drowning. Another said he was forced to perform oral sex on guards wearing hoods. They said they were told by officials that they would die in the Salvadoran prison, that the world had forgotten them. When they could no longer take it, they said, they cut themselves, writing protest messages on sheets in blood. “‘You are all terrorists,’” Edwin Meléndez, 30, recalled being told by officers who added: “‘Terrorists must be treated like this.’”

speaking of things we haven't learned much from as a field in decades, here's a piece from 1974

Zap! You’re A Professional! Computer programmers and other computer specialists are about to become professionalized after fewer than thirty years as a distinct occupational group. What makes the professionalization of programmers especially interesting is the fact that programmers are about to be professionalized behind their backs. In fact, what turns out to be the most intriguing aspect of the professionalization process is not that it’s taking place, but who’s pushing it. If programmers themselves seem largely indifferent to the question of professional status, programmers’ employers have shown the most lively sort of interest. But something is amiss here. Why would employers (or more accurately, their hired managers) promote attitudes among their employees which, on the surface, appear at odds with the interests of management? After all, professionals historically have been monopolistic and exclusive, particularly with regard to controlling their workplace and regulating their income. Both areas, of course, are regarded by management as their exclusive preserves.

nope they're fully paid
Published: Nov. 5, 2025 at 6:36 p.m. ET By Katherine Hamilton CoreCivic reduced its full-year earnings guidance after incurring start-up expenses tied to the launch several new immigration detention centers. The prison operator on Wednesday said it cut its full-year net income outlook to a range of $107 million to $113 million, down from $116.4 million to $124.4 million. It lowered its outlook for earnings per share to a range of 99 cents to $1.05, from $1.08 to $1.15. CoreCivic is still fielding strong demand from Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and expects detainee populations to continue to grow as ICE continues its crackdown on immigrants. The company received several new contracts from ICE in the quarter, and is still in the process of activating three facilities related to the contracts. The ongoing activation process resulted in $3.4 million in operating losses during the quarter. The company expects to reach stabilized occupancy at its new ICE detention centers in California and West Tennessee. Its intake process has been delayed at a center in Leavenworth, Kansas, where the company is facing a lawsuit over permitting. The Brentwood, Tenn., company posted a profit of $26.3 million, or 24 cents a share, in the quarter ended Sept. 30, compared with $21.1 million, or 19 cents a share, a year earlier. Stripping out certain one-time items, adjusted per-share earnings were also 24 cents, below the 27 cents anticipated by analysts, according to FactSet. Revenue rose 18% to $580.4 million. Analysts surveyed by FactSet forecast revenue of $543.1 million. The government shutdown hasn't affected CoreCivic, as law enforcement is considered an essential government service, the company said.

[city admin spokesperson] Cassio Mendoza: “I think there are much more important issues in the City of Chicago that the (Office of the Inspector General) and the press could be focused on,” Mendoza said. “I would just note that the ‘designer handbags’ language in her release is disingenuous at best and racist at worst, given that the bag is an obvious, cheap knock off. As you know, the vast majority of the items in the gift room are T-shirts and hats... but the insinuation is that there are a bunch of luxury goods hidden away.”

i keep forgetting metal gear rising: revengance predicted basically every plot point in contemporary US politics
"I owe you for that speech you wrote. It did wonders for my approval ratings! You understand what matters. Filters, information control, none of that matters anymore. People these days don't care about what's right or wrong. It’s all about the spin, how well you can shift blame to the other guy. People these days only see what they want to see. Don't tell me you’re still on about that grand jury nonsense. They've got nothing that connects me to Desperado. Besides, the average Joe doesn’t give a shit, either way. People these days think money is the solution to all their problems. We need to bring back the greatness of good old America! Reclaim the American Dream! To do that, we need to make sacrifices. That's what those pansies in the so-called Tea Party don't seem to realize. This is a revolution, my friend. We are the true Sons of Liberty! Anyway, I gotta run. We'll talk soon." — (fictional) Senator Steven Armstrong, in a leaked conversation.
