good question. we know that David Brooks, Noam Chomsky, and Stephen Pinker are in them, of the top of my head probably more in the new tranche…

well, are they?

my Jesuit university: priest talks with his childhood friend, Lawrence Ferlinghetti about growing up in Brooklyn, gentrification, and continuing to learn outside school, and also the type of stuff below, but not like weenies

Imagine being the Russian IOC representative who whined about the sign saying “Russian soldiers destroyed my house” And then picture being the IOC staff taking that complaint seriously

Love how it’s ambiguous which guy is an idiot and also completely nuts. I mean…

I don't think it diminishes the correlation much if at all, but... Doesn't that look like /pol/ was launched a day *before* he met with Epstein?

4chan is like Crossfit, if the members swore up and down that they never actually went because it was infested witt chuds, but they still insist on telling you all the details. Never learned so much about any other place from people who say no one should ever go there.

I guess in a way I’m not surprised at all that our govt is now controlled by 4chan.

Whether it's a Hillary Clinton staffer asking John Podesta how to make risotto or Elon Musk asking Jeffrey Epstein where he could find a party featuring child sex slaves, there's plenty of embarrassing emails on both sides.

I'm never going to get over this, and I literally despise every person that excuses themselves and others for not listening to and acting on her prophetic words.

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners. Decide. Who are you?

Republicans don't see a difference.

Mechanical shitposting. I love it.

Trump: “Releasing the files would hurt a lot of people” “Which people?” “Literally all of them”

Here’s hoping Yarvin’s mark on the zeitgeist is far less than Rasputin’s or at least less storied and hard to kill. He should remain noted as a cautionary tale of privileged ignorance and deep rooted bigotry disguised as deepthink

Trump is now mobilizing the power of the federal government to relitigate the 2020 election that he lost by again advancing lies and distortions already debunked by Republicans and judges. Here is what really happened @reidepstein.bsky.social @nytnickc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/01/29/u...

You’re not going to believe this

Epstein kitchen island

Reverse middle passage.

Michael Kinsley said it best, and maybe even first: "The scandal isn't what's illegal .. the scandal is what's legal."

"Ninety percent of success in life is just showing up to the island for pedophiles."- Woody Allen

Catherine O'Hara is as much of a "good in absolutely everything, no matter how good the thing itself was" actor as Philip Seymour Hoffman.

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

Good afternoon from San Francisco.

There's still no evidence that Jeff didn't find Elon annoying.

Takeaway: Any time the Trump administration says "AI" or anything about software or data, what you should hear is "repression as a service" This has 2 parts: 1. AI as an excuse to consolidate data 2. AI to execute orders that humans would refuse

But consider how far they've already come. DOGE bros used AI tools to list thousands of "woke" "DEI" government grants for cancellation per Musk's conspiracy theories. Legitimate civil servants would have refused to compile such a list, but not AI.

Dispatching ICE agents to hit "groups of pre-defined aliens specifically targeted by Leadership for action," the software allows the administration to order up a goon squad wherever they want, at the touch of a button. Like Uber for authoritarians. Let's call it repression as a service.

Elon: girls FTW! Thank you good sir Epstein to lackey: ick, deal with this Lackey to Elon: uhhhhh, he’s getting rid of pedo island, sorry

Fun fact: the lawyer who botched that diver’s seemingly open-and-shut defamation lawsuit was Lin Wood

This was the first time I ever heard of Elon Musk, and I immediately hated him. That saved me so much time later when a lot of other people had to update their priors.

Every celebrity connected to Epstein: “I was there for the big brain conferences” Every Celebrity email to Epstein: Celebrity: “Will young girls be there?” Epstein: “their all coming to my iland”

The wealthy have class solidarity and we'll only beat them when we have it too

I'm coming around to the position that blocking anyone unironically using the term "libs" is the way to go

"Screams of the Hippo" does kinda go hard as a band name.

In an interview with MPR News, Liam's mother gave an update on her son and her own safety. She said Liam asks again and again, “Mommy, why don’t you pick us up?” Or “Mommy, we don’t want to be here anymore. This place is ugly.”

She “confirmed she was not diagnosed with any mental illness.” Uhhhh, I don’t find this version of events believable for several reasons, including the inconsistency with other accounts and Epstein’s overt racism, but they may as well have just written “bitch says she’s not crazy, but she’s crazy.”

American as apple pie sickos, unfortunately

Also, this:

I remember NABJ’s horrible decision. Journalist orgs, like the media itself, refused to treat Trump like a hostile invasive organism during his first exposure to our body politic in 2016. But to fail to do so AGAIN in *2024* after his first term of misrule—and after 1/6/21!—was simply inexcusable.
