Here’s a random appreciation post to recommend some of Hayden Christensen’s non-Star Wars movies:

Well, here we are again and I couldn’t be more humbled and grateful for another trip around the sun. I will continue to dream the impossible because I’M POSSIBLE. Thank you alI. I take nothing for granted. Keep on keeping on! Peace ✌🏾 Love ❤️ and Light 💫

So this is Wolff saying to Epstein that he has guesses for who might get named during the me too movement, and then he lists a bunch of people who did in fact get named, and Arthur Sulzberger. Huh.

In France even the female philosophets often turn out to be pedophiles.

Russiagate apology forms now

"Convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein" is a phrase that first appeared in newspapers in March 2011 and appeared regularly from that point onward. it is INCONCEIVABLE to me that this many people were still associating with him!!

Thomas Massie to CNN on the Epstein files: "This vote is gonna be on your record for longer than Trump is gonna be president. And what are you gonna do in 2028 and 2030 when you're in a debate … and they say, 'How can we trust you? You covered up for a pedophile back in 2025.'"

Adrian i think has also realized this (this is from yesterday)

Nope: the current integralist plan, is, to put it charitably, creating Catholic HYDRA and using that to stuff the executive branch with people who can shape administrative law to adopt (reactionary) Catholic governance.

Same vibes:

Mike Johnson is like the new antagonist that shows up at the start of a season of a Peak TV show because the recurring antagonists are becomind stale, only to engage in so many antics that piss off the other characters that he's eliminated by the end of the same season he's introduced in.

"Republicans are bracing for a significant chunk of the conference to vote for Rep. Ro Khanna’s (D-Calif.) and Rep. Thomas Massie’s (R-Ky.) Epstein file disclosure bill once it lands on the House floor." www.politico.com/live-updates...

Lazar Kagnovitch, Nixon and Thurmond. Nightmare blunt rotation.

For the start through the end of the Cold War: Both of them, plus Carter, Reagan, and GHW Bush. For the birth thru death of the USSR itself, Nixon and Strom Thurmond.

Republicans, whenever something good happens that they hate:

Magneto walks into the X-Mansion's kitchen with flowers and a bag of McDonald's, only to be confronted by Chris Hansen, who asks Magneto to take a seat.

NYT: "Epstein also bantered regularly with Trump and others back in the day, but we didn't think it was as important as Hillary's emails or the Biden family's personal struggles."

The one thing Trump has never had to deal with is an ordinary, “sometimes the economy just does that” recession. He will, and it will not be pretty.

In this scenario, Trump is impeached and removed from office. Then JD Vance becomes president, only for the fucked up shit he's done at Raymour & Flanigan to force him to resign in disgrace, thus paving the way for newly-confirmed VP Doug Burgum to become president until the Khanate rolls over him.

This is what I've been trying to get people to understand while they have been dooming about the shutdown. The entire Republican Party is chained to one man whose numbers are already Bush '06 levels of bad and they have nothing but a stick! There's no carrots, nothing popular at all left in the bag!

Vivid dreamer here. Nearly all my dreams involve me struggling to get from one place to another via train, car, plane, bus, etc., in settings ranging from the prairie where I grew up to Chicago and other cities I've called home. Hotel lobbies are often involved. #NBNW speaks to me. #TCMParty

It really says a lot about how fucked things are when Occam's razor really is that Trump's a pedo and his lackies are trying to cover for him.

My favorite bit is Kagnovitch's resigned "shit" when he sees Stalin's body.

"Long live Stalin!" "Stalin's dead, Malenkov's in charge." "...Long live Malenk--"

i liked when Kruschev runs out of dunks on Beria and so disses his corpse for being on fire after he set it on fire

I have lost track of how many times I’ve seen a prominent journalist (eg at NY Times) defend against media criticism with something like “but that wouldn’t have changed many votes” or “but Trump supporters wouldn’t have cared.” So? You’re in the truth business. Or at least you’re supposed to be.

just watched Death of Stalin

I think that's been true since June when Musk screamed that Trump was in the files. That caused Trump sending the ICE to LA which lead to him invading the city

The caveat is that nobody expected the cabal of elite wealthy pedophiles to be so idiotic.

Id also bet they were using the shut down as extra time for their staffers to comb through and find the really damaging ones, based on how Comers response was to release 20,000 emails that his staff did not appear to have looked through, based on how often trump is mentioned in them.

House Dems right now:

Does anyone else kinda feel like things are, uh, accelerating again?

Boebert, on her way to speak with Trump's allies about the Epstein Files:

"I ain't got 20 bucks!" Guess what favorite movie of mine is currently on again.

👀

One of the craziest things that has become apparent to me as I’ve gotten older is people are just putting “hello yes would you like to do crimes? Here is my plan to do crimes, let us join together to do the crimes at this specific time and place” in emails

A bit beside the point, but I don't like how he's touch that furniture. It just feels like he's violating some public lewdness law or something.

It must be so frustrating to be Jewish when everyone accuses your religion of being the international conspiracy religion while the front page of the news is like “Pope declares this Opus Dei thing freaks him out too.”

Not all the troops will fire on us Over Signal, these National Guard members question Trump's deployments : NPR share.google/EhobGtatoOj7...

“republicans are abusive dads” theory like gravity

so the new york times could very well have destroyed donald trump's presidential run due to epstein back in 2015 but chose not too. awesome. 🙄

Another thing this email trove has convinced me of is that NYT has been actively and consciously helping Trump since 2015. It wasn't just casual sexism, double standards, and political reporting Kayfabe. They were doing catch and kill

My claim has been that since the day he took office this term, each day that passes reduces his value to Rs. It is possible Rs repeated "we only did poorly in these elections bc he wasn't on the ballot" enough times that they finally unpacked it, and they arrived at the same conclusion

And then the NYT will come out with a woe is me-style open letter that probably says stuff like "this isn't us" and "mistakes were made, we promise to do better," making the Trump-Epstein story both all about themselves but also not their responsibility.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far. So much work remains to be done.

This uhhhh, kind of seems like a rare Twenty-Seventh Amendment violation?

an evangelical is sitting alone at a bar, nursing a cosmopolitan as she tries in vain to forget about her shitty boyfriend. a bisexual episcopalian approaches her, and offers her an evening she won’t forget a love story in the style of @catastro-v.bsky.social

The number one question you should ask on social media is "would this joke be funny if a man in a suit and sunglasses was reading this to me while I am held in a dimly lit room"
