it’s not piss lol

oh the book seems horrible beyond belief. she’s probably been kind of shattered (by what she’s done to herself lol) and is worse now

yeah there is a little reverse beergoggling or whatever going on here. she wasn’t really *bad* and was more compelling than published people ±a couple years of her age

how we got from ‘not bad’ to the two extremes of ‘atrocity’ and ‘genius’, well, that’s the internet

ok maybe went a little far there but come on it’s pretty good

an argument could be made that earlier found family tropes were linked to earlier deaths of parents, kids being independent/abandoned earlier, poverty, and other factors, while now they seem to imply your parents just kind of suck. which, politically, a lot do.

for one of a million examples, The Wizard of Oz is the ultimate found family movie (there are two different found families, in Oz and and the ‘real’ farmhands + professor)

or reaching back before film, Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde establishes a homosocial group of middle aged bachelors hanging out

(also it’s *not* a social media company)

Screaming “I WILL NEVER RETIRE” in the saddest Ric Flair voice

these 2 emails tell the story

they hooked up one time (‘got horizontal’ ugh) and Epstein and Summers are having an inane discussion about whether the probability of it happening *again* can be calculated (at one point comparing it to Trump getting elected again)

this is comically wrong: Summers and Epstein are discussing him hooking up with the woman *again*, as they hooked up once in the past (while he was married, of course)

I guess you’re just “too academic” to have understood the email chain

not his student, she was a mentee in her 30s, and they did actually hook up once; he’s asking Epstein how to neg her into hooking up again after (gee I wonder why) she started to pull away

so asking a pedophile for advice on *anything* is kind of the major thing, but especially relationship advice

ha I’m a crazy night owl so I have to stay up for those

(not to say I’m actually capable of being on Zoom at that hour, even if I‘ve been writing pretty good code I’m *not* ready for other people)

is that late or early lol

hmm not with iOS Safari.latest

yes exactly

had someone on here say he was probably lying to seem cool to Epstein, but they hadn’t read it through the first time and were just backpedaling

fwiw the discussion with Epstein is about whether there’s a chance of getting in bed *again* with the woman, she’s drifting away from poor Larry after they hooked up one time

(doesn’t make it it better/worse unless you care about the cheating part but most people are missing it)

not his student, but tbc he actually *did* fuck the woman, people seem to be skipping over that part (the discussion with Epstein is about whether there’s a chance of it happening again)
