You can look at the Epstein files and conclude that only bad people have billions of dollars, but I think it’s also possible that having billions of dollars cauterizes your humanity

He was installed by the evangelical churches, which have a decades-long history of skating on horrendous criminal activity and corruption with almost no consequences

I swear to god, I left this cat alone for two fucking minutes with a jar of red beets. Two. Minutes. #CatsofBluesky

Epstein offered Peter Thiel to “gladly share…expenses for the Gawker suit,” one day after Forbes reported that Thiel was secretly backing the lawsuit that would bankrupt Gawker. Gawker obtained Epstein's flight records in 2015, questioned Dershowitz. #OpDeathEaters #EpsteinFiles #EpsteinCoverUp

Billie Eilish: "No one is illegal on stolen land"

Elon Musk is claiming he’s risked everything to protect kids from sexual abuse mere weeks out from laughing while his AI chatbot was generating nearly 8,000 sexual abuse images per hour that overwhelmingly targeted girls and young women

I was a postdoc at Harvard (in human evolutionary biology) from 2010 to 2012 and it’s grim how many men I interacted with during that time are popping up in the Epstein files trying to prove disgusting evo-psych theories about women *shudder*.

"I can be a pedophile all on my own" is not the flex he thinks it is.

sure they’re tear-gassing toddlers but what do the polls say

I'm old enough to remember when she said the Epstein files were "on her desk right now"

My gravy broke this morning 🫤

Just googling the heads of every hedge fund and then searching for them in the Epstein files and almost always finding direct emails or messages where he says he met with them

It's funny how all these billionaires started buying up all the social media apps, newspapers, and television networks right as all these revelations were starting to come out.

That vile govt-subsidized sumbitch is squirming ✨

Everybody tends to attribute billionaires' wealth to their genius/work ethic but it's probably just unchecked sociopathy

My kid named her precious winter-rescue stinkbug "Katherine Johnson" 🥹 (Seriously, she wanted to name it after "a national treasure") #inverts #bugs #bugsky en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katheri...

Looking at you, Rolling Stones 😡

Found it: the hardest-working apostrophe in the whole world 😬 I have so many questions. How the heck would one pronounce this without getting punched in the mouth?

Shot and chaser from new Epstein batch

🤣

I don't know whether it is the #1 Catherine O'Hara accomplishment but the fact that she invented a manner of speaking that no other person in human history has ever attempted for Schitts Creek and made it seem realistic that her character would talk that way felt like a comedy miracle to me

The thing about Catherine O’Hara is she is so hilarious and talented that I forgot she was mortal

Sir Blanche bravely ran away away

A rare bit of wonderful news ✨

I thought this was fake, but apparently, they've arrested Don Lemon for reporting from Minneapolis. I'm not a huge Don Lemon fan, but this is totalitarian nonsense meant to threaten anyone who reports on the regime's horrors.

"Silicone Valley" 🥲

A+++ Appalachian protest sign:

Bondi directed federal agents to arrest four journalists. Georgia Fort, Don Lemon, Jamael Lundy, and Trahern Crews. All Black. All doing their jobs.

The issue isn't whether "Melania" is a good movie or a bad one. It's that one of the richest men in America, with business interests affected by public policy, gave the President's family $75 million to make it. Like that's somehow legal.

This timeless work of art serves as a balm in hard times 🥲

There is no reason any of these men need any of this gear. This entire situation is not only dangerous and illegal. It is absurd and stupid. www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

let's get back to this for the record

I try not to think too hard or too often about how the president of the United States is a deranged idiot, because it's really just so g.d. depressing. And ridiculous. And embarrassing.

'Bob, it's time to take off your engineering hat and put on your management hat.' is a phrase burned into my brain. It's a phrase that killed 7 people. It's a phrase they teach us in Engineering Ethics. I believe we're legally allowed to punch anyone who says it. (Well, ethically allowed)

Want to re-emphasize what this bill does. It implements a $1,000 bounty for anyone to sue someone they suspect is trans and using the bathroom.

Getting the impression that ICE is gearing up for a pogrom in Springfield, Ohio, which was ground zero of Vance’s lies about Haitians during the campaign. Haitians lose temporary protected status on February 3rd. Reporters, lawyers, neighbors — please get ready.

Calling all lacemakers! Can you read this pattern for "The Sailor's Compass or the 32 points in Blue & White"? It comes from a book belonging to Nathaniel Woodhouse in the 1720s-1740s. There are lots more patterns if you'd like to try your hand at some 18th century lace! #lace #crafts #18thCentury

Personally I think this is too much money for Donald trumps untrained heavily armed militia

They won’t investigate the murders of Good or Pretti, but they’ll investigate fake 2020 election fraud. www.reuters.com/world/us/fbi...

A heavily armed MAGA neighbor of ours accidentally shot himself with the handgun in his pocket during the Saturday lunch rush at the local Chinese buffet. He survived, and because it's deep-red Mitch McConnell/Trump country, people in the room where it happened didn't even stop eating. Not satire.

Mean and stupid so often share the same roost

Congrats to Kennedy and Trump—living the dream

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem. Thank you. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This is unconscionable. Evil. But it happened in May 2023, when Biden was president. So no, we don’t “reform immigration detention,” we destroy ICE, CBP, and DHS. We can’t reform this soul sickness.

This political ad is running over and over again in my neck of the woods--deep red McConnell country. Folks think Trump is done and MAGA is on the way out now that even the GOP is occasionally critical, but many rural MAGA are still in Trump's thrall. Even now. 🫤
