The government failed at actually redacting the Epstein files because DOGE cancelled the feds adobe acrobat premium subscription is the funniest shit.

This is part of the problem -- an original sin story from an opposing tribe threatens your tribe's original sin story. (This is why Plato hates art -- not because it is opposed to what he does but because it is a competitor to his Allegory of the Cave style storytelling)

I looked up the etymology of cyber recently because I couldn't understand why the Wolverine villain had this name. It ultimately means something like "governing" derived from the verb "too steer" but that basically got completely lost in favor of nonsense vibes

This is such a ludicrously deep cut I love it so much (for those who don't know and it drives me crazy when I don't know this is from Nicholas Winding Refn's Too Old to Die Young

IMO what gets people nuclear angry is clearly visible massive inequality and if you absolutely rinsed the rich you could probably get strong economic numbers regardless of general economic performance.

God damn, 262 peers on the 60 minutes Cecot torrent. The Weissand effect is actually making people seed. People are seeding. Nature is healing.
