Don't forget that Virginia Roberts (AKA Virginia Guiffre) also accused Maxwell of being a "madame" [sic], having "many sexual activities with her" when she was a minor, witnessed her doing the same with other minors, taking "sexually explicit" pictures of underage girls & storing them on a computer.

Historians sometimes say that when societies are descending into fascism, it can be hard for the people to notice it in real time. Well, historians of the future, I’m here to tell you: We are noticing. Millions of us are noticing. And we are horrified and enraged.

Memo to Future Historians: This Is Fascism, and Millions of Us See It

From Chicago to Portland, James Comey to Letitia James, and so much else—this is no longer America.

“Best regards”

A letter from STANLEY KUBRICK
August 27, 1970
James T. Aubrey, Jr.
Metro Goldwyn Mayer
245N Beverly Drive
Beverly Hills, CA 90210
Dear James,
It has come to my attention that you and your
studio are considering producing a sequel to "2001:
A Space Odyssey" over my objections. My attorney informs me that you hold the option and, legally. there is little I can do to stop you.
However, I'd like you to know that I own the tapir bone prop from 2001 - the one "Moonwatcher" throws into the sky. If you attempt to make a sequel, I will cram that temur up your ass so far, it will take an as yet undiscovered alien super-intelligence to figure out how to dislodge it. Seriously, don't fuck with me.
Best regards,
Stanley Kubrick

“I … met with the governor, met with the mayor, met with the chief of police, and the superintendent of the highway patrol. They’re all lying, and disingenuous, and dishonest people,” Noem said, because they wouldn’t back up her baseless claims that the streets were overrun with terrorists.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

Of note, I did not see any ICE ads on HBO Max in my area tonight, which was extremely surprising yet pleasantly delightful. I saw that TNT did it though to a bunch of y'all, so please keep bombarding WBD/local broadcasting with emails and calls #AEWCollision 🤼‍♂️

If you can, March in "No Kings Protests" 👑 in your city or town on Oct. 18th.
They are afraid of these protests because they see how many of us are against them.
No Kings!! 👑
We beat King George III before, we can beat Trump now!

Republicans are 💯 responsible for shielding the pedophiles they once promised to expose.

Republicans are 💯 responsible for stoking civil unrest across the country. They’ve peddled in inflammatory rhetoric for years, outlawed anti-fascism, weaponized the DOJ, ICE and the National Guard.

Republicans are 💯 responsible for the price hikes in everything. You can thank Trump tariffs.

Republicans are 💯 responsible for the economic uncertainty gripping working class Americans. They’re building an oligarchy and you’re simply an inconvenience that needs to put up and shut up.

Let’s be clear:

Republicans are 💯 responsible for the government shutdown. They don’t need a single vote from Democrats to reopen.

Republicans are 💯 responsible for firing thousands of federal workers. They don’t need a single layoff to offset the shutdown. It’s their Project 2025 playbook.

This is like a thank-you from Pauly Shore, after Rob Schneider consoled him by saying the Academy Awards had lost credibility for not giving either of them a Best Actor Oscar nomination.
