The rampant sexual violence, the rape apologia in response to MeToo, and the fostering of misogynistic hatred under the guise of "populism" are all part and parcel with the Epstein Class's fear of democracy. It's an abhorrence for the very notion of consent, be it of the raped or the governed
I read thousands of pages of Epstein files this weekend trying to understand what he wanted out of his meeting with 4chan's Christopher Poole. Here's everything we know about Epstein's plans to dismantle the internet and, eventually, democracy.

At the same time the Epstein Files are reinforcing how protected sexual abusers really are, Neil Gaiman is using the nightmarish sexual violence allegations against him to market his next book. His DARVO defense is the first selling point. Rape culture is everywhere and unavoidable.

The thing where ICE parks masked men in school lots is something I would not have believed unless I saw it with my own two eyes. They do it constantly. It’s purely a terror tactic and they’ve done it to schools over the region. Our schools are collapsing - often at 50% attendance or less.
Columbia Heights (Liam's school district) cancelled school today because of a credible bomb threat at Liam's elementary and multiple ICE vehicles parking in the high school staff parking lot at 6:15am.

Many people assume solar PV degrades quickly. Long-term evidence suggests otherwise.
This paper in EES Solar uses rare multi-decade field data to show that PV systems can retain a high share of their initial performance after 30 years, with lower degradation than often assumed.

At long last, women in Japan can buy levonorgestrel, the morning-after pill, over the counter nationwide. It's available for consumers of any age and w/o parental consent. It's not available online, though, & only at pharmacies that can meet privacy guarantee requirements.

I've seen fossils in some remarkable places, but this takes the prize: the benthic foram Nummulites in the base of the Great Pyramid of Giza. These massive blocks were quarried from the Eocene Mokkatam Formation when a relictual population of woolly mammoths still lived on Wrangel Island.
