Trans instructor: “you didn’t do this assignment” Supervising professor: “she didn’t do the assignment” Student: “I didn’t do the assignment” University: “isn’t there someone you forgot to ask” some days I just want to scream and scream

This appears to have been written just days before Epstein's suicide in August 2019.

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar: "Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

🤢🤮

The Olivia Nuzzi story and the Bari Weiss at CBS story are the same story, which is that the upper echelons of legacy media are absolutely rife with people who worship power and don't feel burdened by any sense of responsibility to their profession or the public.

From 2018 to 2024, the tax rate paid by eight major retailers was slashed from 30% to just 17.5%. The CEOs of those major retailers were paid a collective $1.3 billion. Meanwhile, the average worker at those stores was paid less than $32,000 in 2024. Nothing trickled down.

if they had just shown it on 60 Minutes nobody would have seen it

in statement abt sentencing of Dallas Humber — neo-Nazi voice of Terrorgram who encouraged mass shootings — DOJ says case proves it "can & will find these criminals..." but it was antifascists/antifa — WHO THE DOJ IS ACTIVELY TARGETING — that found & exposed Humber www.justice.gov/opa/pr/leade...

This is infuriating. Thanks to Adam for a wonderfully comprehensive account of how the Roberts court is attacking the Civil War amendments to the constitution 1/

The Free Speech wing of the Free Speech party has made it so you have to upload journalism like it's an ISIS video

So apparently there are many Epstein files on the DOJ website where you can highlight the redacted text, copy it, and paste it onto another document to read the redactions

www.patreon.com/posts/146475... The 60 Minutes piece Bari Weiss tried to keep from us. No paywall.

If you're having trouble watching other versions, here's an Internet Archive link for the 60 Minutes CECOT segment suppressed by Bari Weiss in the U.S.

Except that we won’t. The social Darwinism and eugenics are a huge part of MAHA. After all, a key idea behind the antivax movement is that vaccine-preventable diseases can’t harm you if you’re healthy and that if you’re not healthy it’s your fault.

i have been on hold trying to get my medication for 20 minutes. btw if you have adhd you are expected to have time to do this with every pharmacy in town on the last day of your meds every single month. you basically just can't do anything that day. it's a day a month that you can't plan anything on

Oops

Weird how The Free Press was able to publish all of these without comment from the Washigton University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children's Hospital.

Found the actual men in women's bathrooms assaulting women.

easy to feel demoralised seeing all these game company CEOs talking about genAI but remember a bunch of rich people will lose a lot if we don’t suddenly develop an unquenchable appetite for slop so they’re actually the ones on the back foot and have every incentive to lie about everything

24 hours isn’t enough. I think I need a 32-hour day to fit everything in.

Again, from Michael Grynbaum, here is Sharyn Alfonsi's full email. It must be read:

Bari only pulled this program after the promos started airing, which means she probably got a phone call. So she's not just bad at her ostensible job of running CBS news, but she's also bad at her *actual* job of running interference for the Trump admin

She didn’t need any other audience… Now consider how many other influential media personalities that might apply to.

Spiking a news story the day before publication to protect an authoritarian regime is like stuffing ballot boxes after the polls close to rig an election. It's not how the pros do it; if you waited that long, you're already in trouble; and you're not fooling anyone.

Harvard's first Black president was bullied out of office by a guy who was best buddies with Jeffrey Epstein, that's still sinking in

political media on all sides is defined by disdain for its audience. “liberal” media believes that its audience is too insular and must be confronted with opposing views. conservative media just feeds its audience propaganda slop.

The only way they’re getting their credibility back is if they investigate this BS after Weiss is gone.

I prefer the term, that CBS story was obviously “Baried”

Current issue of @theonion.com nails it again.

As a historian I've looked at hundreds of thousands of pages of government documents. And I just have to say that aside from being obviously illegal and clearly suggestive of some major crime, this “redaction” business is not a position in which serious people or serious governments find themselves

I just saw a drug commercial where the side effect warning said, I swear to god, if your anus starts swelling call your doctor immediately because your legs might fall off.

Yeah, this is accurate. Executives don’t know how LLMs can actually be useful, but they’ve given marching orders for everyone to find a use for them. Engineering direction dictated by executive FOMO.

I’m followed by a lot of tech people, so here’s a little story about what tech history has looked liked in my lifetime: My late mother began her programming career at an oil company in Houston writing binary code on punch cards. Occasionally, she had to bring me to work, and this is what I saw. 1/

Bari Weiss is really bad at her job, until you realize it's her job to be really bad at her job, in which case she is excellent at her job

This is fantastic news, a triumph of medicine! And the overall cervical cancer rate in Oz is dropping, too, almost certainly due to HPV vaccinations. And exactly the sort of progress RFK Jr. is trying to kill. Along with killing our citizens.

The interesting thing about the "left behind" talking point is that it's lifted wholesale from crypto grifters. In that context it *kind* of made sense? Like it wasn't correct but at least it followed logically that if crypto became huge, early adopters would benefit.

8 years ago the GOP insisted the president didn’t say what we all heard him say: that the Nazis who attacked & murdered people in Charlottesville were “very fine people.” Now the VP - and the entire GOP - use word-for-word the same rhetoric of those very Nazis on a daily basis

another example of AI as tracer dye, exposing an already existing problem (and, of course, significantly worsening it)

In the wake of the tragedy at Brown, online conspiracists rushed to pin the horrific mass murder on an innocent Palestinian student. One of them was Shaun Maguire, a partner at leading VC firm Sequoia Capital. www.fastcompany.com/91463942/seq...

This is like the British Museum complaining that someone took their stuff

Y'ALL PEOPLE DIE FROM UNTREATED DENTAL ISSUES. This is not an exaggeration. PEOPLE DIE. I think this was one of the big killers before we had modern dental medicine. Nowadays it just kills the poor. PLEASE HELP WYLDER. He's genuinely on a decline and this is totally preventable!!!

ALSO: DYK the US Constitution and Declaration of independence were heavily influenced by Native Americans, specifically the Iroquois Confederacy Great Law of Peace? the GLOP was unwritten but was how the 6 Iroquois nations governed

Let’s not forget that Waymo, Tesla, etc. are conducting massive experiments on public roads and risking the lives of everyone around their vehicles without consent.

incredible thread shut down waymo and jail the higher ups is a pretty mild response

I don’t know how anyone can still talk about “the AI revolution” with a straight face. Reuters story about a railroad company that has sunk $300,000 into “developing AI products” and appears to have made…a chatbot that doesn’t work? archive.is/2025.12.17-0...

Super Soakers were one of my favorite toys as a kid.

The round doorknob, called the locking doorknob, was invented by a Black person: Osborne Dorsey 1878

🚨 The DOJ appears to have redacted Donald Trump’s name from the allegations made in this exhibit in the Epstein files. Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out. See for yourself.
