If you’re up for a little skin-crawling experience, check out the slick real estate video tour of Epstein’s New Mexico ranch, investigation of which has been sandbagged and stonewalled more than any other major Epstein asset. Bad stuff happened there. players.brightcove.net/578288675500...

<Grabs the mic> This ranch was managed by the same two people that managed the Sex Island and those were the only two properties that were under their supervision of all the places Epstein owned.

Elon is talking about using robots to build a mass accelerator on the moon in support of an economy 1000x to 1 million times the current earth economy. It's a bad sci fi novel not an earnings call.

One more interesting point: this spring I sat down with Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes for an extensive interview about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media has unquestionably aided the Trump administration’s cover up here.

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.gov · yesterday

Bombshell new report out from my investigators this morning spanning our four year investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s financial records. This report shows exactly how Wall Street protected Epstein and enabled his sex trafficking for decades. Mega thread following with some key points:

Some ppl see The red-lipped batfish, I see a WhiteHouse fundraiser. Whatever

Different point, but modern medicine has steadily driven maternal mortality rate down. Here, global since ‘85; 2020 was a notable outlier.

in the 1970's, the life expectancy for kids with cystic fibrosis was 15-20 years. today it's 65. in the 1970's, kids with acute myeloid leukemia had a 14% chance of making it 5 years. today it's 64% in 1960 the average life expectancy for kids born with Down Syndrome was 10 years. today it's 60.

Larry Ellison is epitome and apotheosis of Silicon Valley asshole. This is well established. If he were written as a fictional character, and his kids as cautionary tales, the author would rightly be pilloried for lazy reliance on tired tropes. But that is in fact reality.

post malone ergo propter malone@proptermalone.bsky.social · yesterday

my working theory of the Ellisons is that Larry is a huge asshole and both his kids are kind of all right in only moderately broken ways which are mostly explainable by their dad being a huge asshole

Whitehouse: "Next we get to this crooked slush fund Trump family tax amnesty scam. We've got these two new pieces of paper. One signed only by Blanche, one not signed by anybody. Neither of which has any legal effect whatsoever. They are decorative. Can you trust Todd Blanche? I do not."

Stratebridge Cheese’s true expertise is morphing his views into sincere, fully rationalized, and mellifluous agreement with the authority figure in charge of him. Not a prostitute per se; rather, a preview of what agentic AI viziers will be like, complete with vat-grown generic WASP physiognomy.

Checking in with Elbridge Colby who assured me that the US couldn't spare a single bullet for Ukraine because they were all needed to deter a Chinese invasion of Taiwan.

my favourite thing about Colbridge Elby's philosophy is when he constantly got mad at actual Taiwanese people disagreeing with him and basically tried fingerwagging them over the internet for it

🚨🚨" far-right and MAGA politicians, influencers, and podcasters will immediately use the most divisive language possible in order to make voters as angry as possible, as fast as possible, regardless of what actually happened. " Strong piece by @anneapplebaum.wsocial.eu on FR reactions to #ceuta:

Kherson. Russia deliberately attacked a man selling goods at a market. He tried to hide, but the Russian FPV drone followed him. The National Police posted that he survived but was injured. Russian human safari in Kherson never stops.

I planned to compete for 2026’s dumbest opinion bit by writing how I pay taxes that subsidize military guns I might never shoot and pave roads I might never drive on. But this one got there before me, dammit

USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 2d ago

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

Bluesky is a "liberal bubble" because fascist chuds can't get traction without algorithmic assistance and because people here trained themselves to block "debate me" trybois the instant they roll up

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

Time to add another formerly respected institution to the garbage pile, this time @aau.edu, which just worked with the Trump admin to endorse resegregation in high education, embedding MAGA fraudsters as faculty, and banning student expression. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

this is actually the wife-beatingest reply possible. this is the platonic ideal of how a guy who beat his wife would respond to a question about beating his wife.

Rep. Max Miller: "These are incredibly serious criminal accusations. If these accusations were true, I would be in jail — I would be. My former wife would not have been offering to cook me dinner and inviting me to playgrounds. Think about that."

All nerd hobbies can have the social structure of their communities quantitatively measured with the Q:N (Queer to Nazi) ratio. Pokémon is 8:1. Warhammer is 1:1. Paradox Games are 1:1 but different from Warhammer because the queers and Nazis are the same people.

Management’s solution is to hire more admin staff and pay more for it. Also football. American universities really pioneered and perfected this approach over the last 30 years, with staggering bloat in administrative and sports expenses. Because priorities.

hello, im looking for a political ideology that creates a version of fame for complete mediocrities if they say the right words. a political faction that can take you from the d-list to the c-list in the blink of an eye if you just regurgitate their bull shit

Watched a multi-acre fire break out before my very eyes and then watched a bunch of helicopters show up and put it out. Government was a good idea, it should do more things like that instead of evil and corruption

Max Miller has learned his lesson. by Susan Collins

Still can’t over the fact that the president of the United States just told an entire state to pound sand after getting cyberattacked by a foreign adversary because they didn’t vote for him and it was treated like a Tuesday lol
