Google's Sergey Brin and Salar Kamangar are in the Epstein photos released today.
At this point we should be asking which billionaires aren't in the files.
Seems pretty clear that Epstein was at the core of the ongoing foreign-backed tech bro coup.

Probably the best descriptor for the MAGA / John Roberts / Silicon Valley axis is that they’re Royalists. They don’t believe in democracy, and want to set up an elective monarchy with Donald Trump as founding king and themselves as the nobility.

1/ Russian soldiers who fall out with their commanders – due to personality clashes, disagreements, or a refusal to pay bribes – are routinely sent to their deaths in stormtrooper squads. Few survive for long; the following account vividly describes the life of a stormtrooper. ⬇️

Just the blandest corporate enshittification at work here. Sycophantic moron executives siphon more and more productive investments into pointless performative bullshit they use cosplay as “competent businessmen”. White mediocrity at work.

The December print issue of The New Republic begins with an unbylined "11th Hour" column whose author I am not free to divulge. Suffice it to say I have admired him since birth. It's not online so I attach it here. If you can't make it out you'll just have to buy a paper copy.

1/ A Russian convict soldier has described the gruelling and deadly experience of serving in a 'Storm V' assault unit, from initial training, to facing swarms of Ukrainian drones, and being the only survivor of a bloody battle against dug-in and determined Ukrainian forces. ⬇️
