Maybe it's just me but I don't think Jeffrey Epstein's clients should be the ones to decide if Jeffrey Epstein's clients should be prosecuted.

I see this same dynamic in the materials I research. "Compromise" in the 19C literature often means Northerners who oppose slavery accommodating enslavers, who cannot be held responsible for throwing tantrums in Congress and literally threatening Northern colleagues with weapons.

flipping through a proof of yet another book from a somewhat well known liberal voice diagnosing “where the left went wrong” and i’m struck, again, by the fact that a large part (if not most) of the liberal commentariat simply does not believe that the political right has agency.

The insider trading suspicions looming over Trump's presidency The BBC has found a pattern of spikes in trades ahead of public announcements by the US president.

This is superb reporting by BBC News’ Nick Marsh on spikes in insider trading ahead of Trump’s Truth Social pronouncements and weirdly accurate predictions on the betting market Polymarket. Well worth a read.

Before they were arrested- Vets are demanding an end to the war on Iran at the Cannon Building in Washington, D.C.

For those attending the White House Correspondents' Dinner this weekend, a small question:

When you're sitting there at your table, do you think it'll cross your mind that the guest of honor is actively covering up his role in a massive child sex trafficking operation?

This is like that XKCD about experts in different fields assuming other fields are simple, except they’re only experts in boot licking.

It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.

During the peak of COVID, a number of parents learned or re-learned that teaching is difficult. But this has had no lasting impact. Hasn't translated to calls to increase teacher pay, for example.

Today I turn 89. I’ve seen this country at its best and its worst, and I know how much community matters. For my birthday, I’m asking you to stand with PFLAG and support the work that’s helped so many in the LGBTQ+ community, including me. give.pflag.org/page/95493/d...

So, I went really basic for my Curry Day watching this year: Psych Season 2 ep 1 and Clue. Basic but deeply satisfying.

Researchers warn of severe long-term damage to the brain after Covid following new study

January study of essential workers (with blood samples before & after COVID infection) found those with long-term neurological symptoms had higher phosphorylated tau—a protein linked to early brain degeneration

📌MEDIA: Stop calling Jared Kushner a "high-level negotiator." He's a damn thief operating in his repulsive family's best interests not ours.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Happy Birthday to international treasure Tim Curry! And Happy Curry Day to all who celebrate!

I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business.

WE Pay for

Two hooded figures with lamps approach a moonlit, isolated cottage. A woman answers the door. We have come for the child, says the hooded figure So soon? she asks It is time, says the hooded figure. The woman is distraught. We should never have got him a library card! What is done cannot be undone, says the hooded figure We couldn’t see the harm! We just wanted him to enjoy reading! For most, it ends there, says the hooded figure, turning away and walking into the wilderness Oh lord, What have I done! says the woman, the child walks past her and out into the darkness with them. Do not cry mother. I am a writer now.

“The United States is being murdered, and it’s an inside job. Every department, every branch, every bureau and function of the federal government is being fatally corrupted or altogether dismantled or disabled.”

The Uk needs a version of Hot Ones but for desi food called Curried which is hosted by Tim Curry, there you go, I just made your network eleventy billion dollars

Happy 80th Birthday to Tim Curry, a guy who treats every single part like it was the role he was born to play.

This is a direct result of Trump's policies.

Share the Love AND the COVID with Your Coworkers. It’s Just the Cost of Doing Business These Days
