The Zorro Ranch in New Mexico Unveils the Epstein Class and Its Transnational Criminal Empire
In 1996, Maria Farmer informed the FBI that Epstein was a pedophile and that her sister was abused at his New Mexico ranch. Why have authorities and politicians engaged in a 30-year cover-up?

This is the time of year I wish people had their decorative lights up.
Publications pay-walling storm reporting. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Now that the White House is using AI to edit photos of their political opponents to create fascist propaganda I’m wondering if anyone could have seen this use of AI coming. Okay I’m hearing lots of people did and they were forced to watch corporations smother the masses with the technology anyways
I, personally, haven't seen much chatter about this, but I finally upgraded to the IMO instantly dated Liquid Glass.

I just saw a "lyrics proofreading" credit on an album press release and it made my day.
If you need a distraction, I contributed to this AllMusic list, which is surprisingly sweet and funny (and unsurprisingly informative) at times. www.allmusic.com/blog/post/la...

It's not like we were born with an innate understanding of N95 masks and airborne transmission. Many of us put in the intellectual effort to understand it, starting in 2020. You don't need a medical degree to understand this stuff. It has been explained, and explained, and explained.
Wow, is this a current mood. (There’s a nice little summary of how the hell DJT made it into college, if you’ve ever wondered.) Sorry for the preview photo. www.marytrump.org/p/the-pettin...

Another great interview with Sarah Kendzior. I've been begging folks for years to understand that the (establishment) Dems are in on it--this interview packs in a lot of info quickly, including a sense of how that's played out. We HAVE TO understand what we're really up against.

OK, I'm officially in favor of anything over nothing, but I was already annoyed at being excluded from No Kings, AN ANTI-AUTHORITARIAN PROTEST, due to ableist/ageist/racist/transphobic lack of masking; now I learn it starts at 9:30 here. Why? Michigan football game @ noon. 🙄🙄🙄
Was feeling the lowest of lows then got a Wordle in two.
Someone said "Star of David banner" and I heard it as "star of David Banner" until a good 30 seconds later. (And, no, I wasn't thinking of the rapper.)
As far as finding things and doing research, the internet and Google worked better in 2005.
