Look, POTUS is busy suing the USG for $10 billion, shutting down the Kennedy Center, and maybe illegally attacking Iran for no good reason. Gotta focus on the priorities.

Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"? Well, it happens they were doing exactly that.

We don’t have to imagine, Tim. We know. They are brutalizing the parents n also killing them n disappearing them n deleting the records. Large scale, especially in “alligator Alcatraz.” They are raping children. Kidnapping them for global sex trafficking rings.

I know this from researching police salaries for a recent paper: many cities have a set of officers taking home more than $500k and they can’t really explain why

One Oakland police officer made $490,000 in overtime. The city can’t find records detailing much of what he did
One OPD officer logged 5,242 total working hours, racking up $490,000 in overtime pay. If he worked more than half of the time in a calendar year, why can't the city tell us what he did?

Because I'm talking about measles. It is also A VERY VERY VERY CONTAGIOUS VIRUS. If someone is in a room and has measles and then leaves that room and you enter that room within TWO HOURS (depending on humidity) you can get measles. And people are contagious for four days before the rash appears.

Anyway, parents of gifted Black students please don’t think smarts override child development. Let them kids play and be silly. Help them process their emotions. And don’t let these schools take their wonder or culture.

I also think it's more literal, like what we now know is there's a sprawling network of influential pedophiles in academia (including Harvard) and maybe they didn't want Claudine Gay running Harvard because they thought she might stop them from raping students

I wonder if the New York Times will go after any of the prominent academics in the Epstein files for being rapists as hard as they went after Claudine Gay for being kind of sloppy with citations in her graduate thesis. If not, why not?

Caveats - suicide is rare, and the overall numbers are small, so percentages aren't as meaningful as they could be. One more or less suicide by a trans kid would appreciably shift the "percentage of suicides by trans kids." EVEN THEN, 7% of child suicides in the UK being trans kids is sobering.
