Epstein’s War

I wrote about why you absolutely do not have to hand it to Marjorie Taylor Greene, and posed a few basic questions that her interlocutors ought to be asking her, like: who won the 2020 election?

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

today’s project: doing brick surgery on Rivendell to add in Light My Bricks lighting looks pretty sick so far

Alice Wong taught us that disabled people don’t just leave memories behind—they leave infrastructure. Lineages of care. Methods of collectivity, survival. She named the connective tissue that holds our communities together, even across death, even across the losses that come too fast and too often.

please don't do this. MAGA hats are made from an acrylic blend, which will release toxic chemicals when set on fire, potentially harming you and downwind woodland creatures

PBS NEWS WEEKEND has been cancelled and 34 jobs will be cut at WETA in Washington D.C. The NEWS HOUR West Coast bureau will also close and the updated daily West Coast broadcast will end. “We cannot fully compensate for the scope of the federal funding loss.” current.org/2025/11/weta... #PBS

You know it’s a good nickname when you have to explain it. “Lightweight Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Brown (Green grass turns Brown when it begins to ROT!)…”

If you need me, tap me on the shoulder. I’ll be happily working all day listening to this on a loop.

I don’t talk about this that much but when I was young I had severe OCD that went unaddressed much longer than it should have. For a while, it wrecked (among other things) my gpa; for instance, I’d keep rewriting over and over my name at the top of my math homework (b/c the brain tells u it is…

The recently ousted leader of the University of Virginia released a tell-all memo Friday on the DEI feud with Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin that cost him his job. trib.al/jMXxASx

Jesus Christ.

Trump: I had an MRI and the result was outstanding. Reporter: Was it your brain? Trump: I have no idea what they analyzed, but whatever they analyzed, they analyzed it well.

Alan Dershowitz is one of those claiming Epstein was not a pedophile because he pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. "That’s not a pedophile." See this important response from Julia Brown, the brave reporter who broke the news on this

Dershowitz: The predecessor on your show described Epstein as a convicted pedophile. He pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. That’s not a pedophile.

hate this so much

"It was tough to beat Apple, but the Swiss did it." said one administration official. How the Swiss convinced Trump to drop tariffs with gifts of a Rolex desk clock and a 1 kg gold bar. www.axios.com/2025/11/14/t...

ICE vs the clergy

in the actual real world secret police are disappearing americans on behalf of an openly white nationalist government but george packer’s latest is a novel about a world beset by woke totalitarianism

A reminder that Steve Bannon is sitting on 15 hours of interviews with Epstein. www.mediamatters.org/steve-bannon...

It's hard to overstate what a disaster Kash Patel is. See the many disturbing details here, from @vermontgmg.bsky.social, an expert on the FBI. "The longer this chaos continues," he writes, "the more likely we’re going to face a catastrophic intelligence failure." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Nice job senate republicans you fucking clowns

Basically saying "if you do crime for me, I won't only pardon you--I'll give you millions of dollars of public money." Truly unprecedented level of corruption www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

NEW: I found Jeffrey Epstein's Quora account from 2012, connected to one of his Gmail accounts. It's an interesting snapshot of who followed him back then, because most seem to have followed pre-2017 or even 2015. Epstein followed two people/

This is a better answer than I gave on The Source to @kaitlancollins.bsky.social last night.

They’re all just looting the treasury now

A man I love in a time travel film where he saves the future from evil Al? Hell yes. youtu.be/CaSxNAZUKsM?...

what the actual fuck

NEW — I spoke to DoorDash about the White House claiming the company's report shows "inflation has been tamed" and whether that's an interpretation one should make. An economist also weighed in, pointing out dictatorships use data obfuscation as a tool, and right now they're "grasping at straws."

for the record, this is how the @nytimes.com covered Bloomberg, a man elected to the same office as Katie Wilson with the exact same amount of experience in public office as Katie Wilson, but whom the paper did not view with obvious contempt www.nytimes.com/2001/11/07/n...

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

JD Vance owns a company that buys American real estate and sells it to foreign investors. They specifically target Americans in crisis to buy their property for less than it is worth.

This is good reporting and all that but here's the thing I learned the other day: Bill Pulte, the 50-year-mortgage dude and the guy who keeps pulling the mortgage docs of Trump's enemies is only 37 years old. www.wsj.com/finance/regu...

Why the fuck is this framed as “teenager chose to prostitute herself and ruined the career of innocent congressman”

Bovino: "We're ratcheting operations up in Chicago. That's a very corrupt system in Chicago. Whether it's those elected leaders like Pritzker or those out of control judges, Chicago needs some attention. You're gonna see some very dynamic operations."

Scoop, for @zeteo.com with @premthakker.bsky.social The draft documents for Trump’s new National Security Strategy are currently classified, and the admin is behind schedule in getting some sort of finalized version to Congress Here are details of what’s in it, and… zeteo.com/p/trump-nati...

I say it over and over again: when you have that much money, you want to live where you want to live and you are simply not going to relocate because of marginal tax rates Alan Dershowitz will never leave Martha’s Vineyard and they won’t even sell him a pierogi

the thing that strikes me about this — again, besides it being false — is the venom and disrespect for the people who come here to work and build better lives. they aren’t “servants.”

Importance: High subj: An article for U (gift link) i wrote ,,,,,, about jeff epstein. s emails. www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

but for real i tried to capture what i felt going through these emails (on here & in the document hellscape). how it feels like a last nail in a coffin of some kind in terms of a rot in the heart of the elite. and proof that the truth is dumber than fiction www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Everyone who posts this should note that Megyn Kelly has a 14-year-old daughter. Do not let her off the hook on this.

Michael Wolff tried to buy New York Mag — with money from Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein. So Wolff didn't just have a reporter-source relationship with Epstein. Nor was Wolff his informal PR adviser. They saw each other as potential business partners. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
