A typical 30 story apartment building in NYC is about 250,000 sqft, and can be built for about $600 sqft. That's an est. cost of $150m The Epstein Ball room is said to be a planned 90,000(!) sqft. The cost (along w donor the list) has risen in a matter of days to $300m. #kickbackscheme #graft

Through the looking glass level 'anything goes; no guardrails' shyt. So fckd up.

In 2005, I wrote an article called "Inventing Akromiya" about how the government of Uzbekistan made up a group called Akromiya to justify a massacre of civilian protesters. Twenty years later, the US is more like Uzbekistan, and I wrote "Inventing Antifa": sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/inventing-...

It is all intentional. They intend on starting a civil war.

Gonna re-up this since today is the 7th anniversary of the murder of Jamal Khashoggi by MBS who has his first annual comedy festival underway right now. Bet it kills.

Yay!!! More mocking, on the global stage, of the ignorance of the United States of America. Fantastic. Fckn MAGA-ts...

Must watch.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Miss this man.

Hahahah I assume Aber Bijan is the name Baron's girlfriend's billionaire Indian father.

We are allowed to be on national TV to say kill all homeless people, but we can't tell the world about the hate speech from a dead podcaster? Do you really still think this country is about freedom?

Obama: So we have to extend to people during their period of mourning We can also at the same time say I disagree with the idea that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a mistake I can disagree with the suggestion that my wife or Justice Jackson does not have adequate brain processing power.

Just saw a promo for a new contestant show, hosted by Jimmy Fallon, in which the contestants vie to make the best advertisement for a particular blue chip corporation. God save us if Mark Burnett is presidential-candidate making again.

So America is not leading, but following, and they will only do the minimum being asked if Hungary and Slovakia for instance do the same thing. I can smell the bullshit from here.

You’d think after their cult leader tried to hang his own VP for not helping him steal an election, they’d be familiar with the notion of right on right crime. Yet it befuddles them to this day.

An explanation of the groyper writing on the shells www.editorialboard.com/does-the-rig...

I’ve never heard of groypers or 4chan!

The Nation had it correct early: The Fuentes bros bit him for not being radical enough. Wont get the credit they deserve.

Pretty clear that a lot of people jumped the gun on the motive behind Kirk’s assassination. The shooter: 1. Grew up in a Republican family 2. Donated to Donald Trump 3. Loved guns 4. Was steeped in Groyper culture This isn’t a simple “raging leftist hated Kirk” scenario.

Another reason not to devote entire news cycles - across every network and medium - to the murder of a known agent provocateur, particularly those w a large online presence, is that it swings wide open the door for the bot farms to ...

We can be morally outraged by an assassination and at the same time acknowledge that Charlie Kirk’s racism and misogyny were immoral. Whitewashing his behavior and beliefs betrays the collective by masking how we got to this place in America.

I stand with Matthew Dowd.

I have a couple of comments about the "free speech hero" narrative about Charlie Kirk. First, was Charlie Kirk really notable for supporting the free speech of people he disagreed with? I haven't noticed that, though I could have missed it. /1

Here’s the thing. It’ll be a cold day in hell before I lower my American flag for someone who sent bus loads of insurrectionists to the Capitol.

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

Charlie Kirk, infamous shyt stirring disinfo grifter, lauded as free speech paramour in the wake of his violent murder. Matt Dowd loses job for speaking freely and honestly in tepid ackn'gmnt of Kirk's chosen and active role in buttressing our current hateful and unfortunate environment. It's 9/11

As Americans and as New Yorkers, we'll never forget September 11, 2001. First responders sacrificed everything in the course of their service. Strangers saved each other's lives. The worst day brought out the best in so many. I'm thinking of everyone mourning, and remembering, today.

The "for comedic effect" part tells you the mentality of the meathead children who feed this Grok thing.

Give this the same attention you’ll give Charlie Kirk’s shooting. Give it more even.

Sure seems like Big Pharma spent way way more energy, money and lobbying capital on fighting Dems on prescription drugs than doing anything about the Secretary of HHS casually, and without any real evidence, telling everyone their products kill kids and give them autism.

Going overlooked is the last sentence: "Even though I handled the deal, I didn't get any of the money or the girl." Seems these guys trade in subliminal msgss? What was the 'deal' T brokered, & who was the 'girl' in that sentence, as that sentence seems disassociated from the composition of the pic.

Melanie only cost $22,500. That's a day rate of about $2.25 /day (as of Sep 10, '25), excluding capex and other fixed and variable costs.

100% right @sifill.bsky.social! Imagine if they all started barking at him for this. Two or these times of them doing that to him on camera and they would certainly gain the support of the public. That would be hugely embarrassing and potentially loosen the grip of their bosses. #fckaccessjournalism

No solidarity. Reporters let Trump talk this way to a woman reporter and then clamor to get their own question answered. He used to do it to April Ryan, Yamiche Alcindor and Abby Phillip. And that’s why he controls media. No solidarity.

prob a combination of things, but it sure feels (at least) like that @elephantgraveyard.bsky.social video really left the rogansphere shook

As it turns out, the "Kennedy Curse" wasn't that the smart ones were killed, but that the stupid one survived.

I guess that would make Hegseth become Secretary of DeWars

...and a heroin addict.

One assumes Heaven is a prepubescent young girl from Northboro Elementary.

Don’t look away

Too many in the aid community still can’t process what happened to USAID. They keep reaching for technocratic reasons for its destruction. But @timhirschelburns.bsky.social was right - it was political - a democratic failure and far right culture wars timhirschelburns.substack.com/p/everyone-i...

The truth is ugly, but it’s clear now. FedSoc isn’t a debating club. It’s not an intellectual movement. It’s a machine. A revenge machine. And it’s been eating the republic alive while we watched, too polite, too gullible, too late. open.substack.com/pub/clayjak/...

You know it, buddy

Having a career criminal as a President is an “uneasy mix”… Having religious opinions influence civil rights is an “uneasy mix”… This might be the start of something!

Donut shops. He means donut shops.

Thank you, Boston Globe. This is how it's done.

Yes, but Russia doesn't be Russia to hack the vote.
