“Epstein argues that teaching children to write may be harmful because writing forces “linear” and “narrow” patterns of thinking, whereas the greatest thinkers never wrote.”
“Epstein argues that teaching children to write may be harmful because writing forces “linear” and “narrow” patterns of thinking, whereas the greatest thinkers never wrote.”
“The interview also becomes an exercise in intellectual peacocking as they invoke Socrates, Isaac Newton and quantum physics but pay little attention to Epstein’s crimes. Epstein reveals himself to be a living museum of racial prejudice.”

The interview, revealed in the latest tranche of Epstein files, was reportedly intended for a sympathetic documentary

Seahawks owner Jody Allen has been essential in Seattle’s run back to the Super Bowl.
She hasn’t merely maintained a stable franchise, writes @jerrybrewer.bsky.social. She has put it back on the cutting edge of the most competitive league in sports.

Man…I’m just really freakin happy for Sam Darnold. We were in Arizona for his loss to the Rams last year—to go from that to this, and from castoff to the Super Bowl.
What an incredible journey. What a game. What a moment for him.

I think the Rams were fooled by the Seahawks’ Kenneth Walker’s last name because he can actually run as well and maybe they weren’t prepared for that.

“ICE > MN” is impeachable by itself.
This is an actual post from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth: Praising ICE after Alex Pretti was killed, blaming the Democratic leadership of Minnesota, and writing that ICE is greater/better than Minnesota.
He is actively demeaning the people of Minnesota just hours after Pretti was murdered.

ICE attacked an observer after they tailed a group of clergy on a spiritual pilgrimage.
Our digital producer @sam.vp just so happened to be with the clergy on their journey. He spoke with the observer who was attacked and others who witnessed the assault.
