Fucking Iowa

MeToo did not go far enough. People were saying "MeToo has gone too far" when it had barely just picked up momentum. It was an attempt at reckoning with how institutionally misogynistic and sexually exploitative most institutions are and what women are constantly put through. So it was crushed.

A fun game to play with TPOT" (🤮) is who would take Epstein money

All these elite taste makers like Kelsey 100% thought summers was treated unfairly at Harvard for his statements about woman and would gladly have taken Epstein money

The takeaway IMO is aggro centrism is an astonishing historic disaster. Not only does it not work - it delivers very little for the public, doesn’t address core problems of the era and disillusions the public with democracy itself - but it actively aids the far right and prepares the way for fascism

Thinking about how Summers and Epstein both frequently manipulated the media into giving or withholding coverage when they wanted and how the same media mysteriously decided to wage a scorched earth jihad against Harvard's President Claudine Gay. It's a strange coincidence to ponder!

lol.

Giving head to Bubba the Love Sponge is even worse!

Trump and Pete Hegseth just killed three more people in another bombing, this time in the Pacific. The dead were said to be part of a "designated terrorist organization," which is itself utterly absurd. No evidence provided.

just to be clear i think it's perfectly plausible but not extremely likely that Jeffrey Epstein personally paid off Kavanaugh's absurd debts, but i also think that he should be required to prove it was not, in fact, Jeffrey Epstein, who advised Steve Bannon on his confirmation hearing

Did… Did Jeffrey Epstein pay off Brett Kavanaugh’s debts right before he became a Supreme Court Justice????? Holy shit.

I been saying...

just speaking for a small corner of the Tribe here but not super excited about being the apparent fault line in the GOP schism

Remember when he used to do daddy role play on twitter?

Really weird attitude to have a out people using a tool

These tech freaks love that it is socially acceptable to be a Nazi now

Its really so funny joscha bach is an Epstein guy

Don’t. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspaper. They’re breaking the law & violating the Constitution. These things are not “traditions” or norms.

The Founders were so concerned about bribery that the Constitution forbids it three separate times. Two emoluments clauses ban officials—unambiguously including the president—from accepting things of value, plus bribery is the only named impeachable offense besides treason. Unprecedentedly corrupt.

Elizabeth Holmes deserves so much worse. She was only ever convicted of defrauding her investors even though she also defrauded thousands of patients.

So did Trump kill Epstein.??????

Abolitionist discourse is fun cause the side that is right is so completely deranged and unable to do politics

So how likely are we feeling that trump killed Epstein?

Why the hell would an officer walk through when players are entering the field? What in the world?

my strong suspicion is that dems believe they’ll coast to major gains in the midterms no matter what, and their awful posture right now on all the horrors is less about winning next november and more about what they’re rhetorically committed to do should they win

“if we talk a lot about ICE and then win, we will be expected to do something about ICE. can’t have that!” this is setting up 2 years of dicking around with bipartisan healthcare legislation that goes nowhere. that’s the plan afaict

A lot of education discourse is at root an inability to decide whether the purpose of our education system is to 1) teach material and measure learning 2) reward students who work hard 3) separate the smart kids (destined for smart guy jobs) from the dumb kids (destined to serve the smart guys)

A big problem in America is engineers tend to be right wing morons and are very easily taken in by grifters

This raises what I like to call the "AI test for tasks". If many people use AI to do task X, then that tells you that task X is actually just a brainless administrative exercise. Any such task should probably be eliminated, and if that's not an option, modified to make automation even easier.

In some ways the most notable feature of Trump 2.0 is the total absence of even pretending to care about being seen as corrupt. No facade at all. It’s just all corruption all the time.

So.... Like ..... Its pretty likely trump killed Epstein 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

One thing I like about Twitter which is probably bad is a I lot in there see all how normalized fascism is among my neighbors and I am completely ready to [censored by blue sky mods]

bring back now-archaic game of thrones references, "who does buddy think he is, the three eyed raven?"

old enough to remember when white guys in the beltway said the occupations weren't a big deal

Convinced one new acquaintance to join local civic group "I should start practicing psycho-history"

“The trio discusses “international jewery” on multiple occasions, perpetuating offensive stereotypes about Jews as well as Italians, Asians and others, along with eyebrow-raising comments about immigrants from developing countries, especially non-white ones.”

Trump blares Phantom of the Opera at the White House with an empty Friday schedule

Much like real Bushido, poster's bushido is a post facto romanticization of an earlier era of uncontrolled conflict, constructed by the inhabitants of a more centralized system to justify their own pretensions.

Shit. Pam Bondi has radicalized Reid Hoffman. 👀

It was a proactive decision by the mainstream press to not make Trump's history of sexual assault a consistent issue

It seems like Epstein was actively working against Trump right before he was imprisoned and died? Which... wow. And, what a bad look for Plaskett, especially given the fact that Epstein abused girls in the USVI, which Plaskett represents. It raises questions she cannot deflect to staff.

Not a critique of Tom at all, but how quickly we’ve acculturated ourselves to a world where the president publicly orders an investigation, and his AG salutes in plain sight. The corpse of the post-Watergate era is well and truly rotted through.

as I said before, everyone keeps dancing around the fact that this is open nativist blood libel. This is how you legitimize mass dispossession, en masse, of an entire sub-population of a nation. And this is now an institutionalized belief in ostensibly the most powerful org in international finance.

The Trump admin is planning to say that being from Cuba (or any other travel ban country) is a "significant negative factor" that could lead to a denial of any of several discretionary immigration benefits (like green cards). Seriously; national origin discrimination as official government policy.
