My response to anything over the next two weeks

I wrote about a conference marking the culmination of tens of millions of dollars of philanthropic spending to transcend neoliberalism. lpeproject.org/blog/post-ne...

absolutely wild move by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov to allow comments on the dropbox folder with the epstein photos

I love thinking of him poring through some giant BLS spreadsheet to learn this. “Let’s see… penis with testicles is up 6 percent YoY in real terms for all urban consumers — is that adjusted using CPI or a GDP deflator?”

A photo of David Brooks palling around with Epstein in the latest Epstein files drop three weeks after he wrote a column chiding America for caring about the Epstein story is some serious Rafael Palmeiro shit.

You can tell this map was done by English people because they didn't even try with Ireland and Wales.
