NEW: @derekbjohnson.bsky.social spoke with @anthropic.com's threat intel team about Thursday's report. Lots in there, but one key takeaway: Despite being labeled as 'autonomous,' there was a tremendous amount of human effort needed to pull off the attacks. cyberscoop.com/anthropic-ai...

If we're lucky the stress of this Epstein stuff will give Trump another stroke, or maybe a heart attack.

He's gotta be wondering what else is out there that is about to drop.

Here The Washington Post Editorial Board treats Donald Trump ordering DOJ investigations of his political adversaries as a *political* misstep, never once so much as hinting that it is an *abuse of power*

This is a 19-paragraph article to which 7 journalists contributed; it contains not a single hint that there is any impropriety in the President of the United States directing the Justice Department to investigate his political adversaries.

"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.

People are roasting this lede, but NYM is actually correct to print it. Toilet paper is so scarce in prisons that it is sometimes used as a currency.

It shouldn't be restricted, for any person, but the fact that it isn't for her (and her alone) is a sign of extremely special treatment.
Apparently, Ghislaine Maxwell is living it up in prison with unlimited toilet paper. Here’s what we know about her alleged special privileges at her new federal prison camp in Texas.

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."

In the wake of newly released emails from Jeffrey Epstein where Trump was a regular topic, Megyn Kelly is trying to downplay Epstein's sex crimes by arguing that “there’s a difference between a 15-year-old and a 5-year-old."
Megyn Kelly suddenly finds pedophilia very hard to define
When a 16-year-old accused Russell Brand of rape, Kelly begged conservatives to condemn him. Now she's splitting hairs about men "into the barely legal type."

corrupting the DOJ

“…the only offer on the table was that I needed to
resign by 5pm that day or the DOJ would basically rain hell on UVA…If I did not resign that day, I was told that the DOJ would extract/block 100s of millions of dollars from UVA before they would even negotiate.”
Former UVA president Jim Ryan, who resigned over the summer due to pressure from the Trump Administration, just shared this 12-page letter with the Faculty Senate, detailing his experience with the Board of Visitors and DOJ.

It's a surreal--and troubling--read.
