A few days ago I wrote about the Three Great Taboos and how the Epstein list gives us a glimpse into a society of entitled elites who violate those taboos, and I figure it is worth some slightly more detailed explanation

(cw: sexual assault, cannibalism, dark shit)

I recall from anthropology class a discussion about our culture's Three Great Taboos (your mileage may vary depending on your professor): cannibalism, incest, and pedophilia. Apropos of current times.

Hey everyone!

Huge news! Our trans girl scout list has sold a total of 146,000 boxes as of today!

But MANY trans girl scouts only have 20, 30, 40 boxes sold.

I just resorted our list to put those on the top.

Go get your girl scout cookies and make a trans kid's day!

Rob Reiner directed some of the most beloved movies of all time, including Stand By Me, This is Spinal Tap, and The Princess Bride. His production company also made movies like The Shawshank Redemption, Before Sunrise and Michael Clayton. The film industry has lost one of its titans.

Rob Reiner was one of the perennials, a force in TV and then film and then politics and Los Angeles life for decades and decades. He was the quintessence of Bleeding Heart Liberal Hollywood in the best sense of every word.

May his memory be a blessing.

If telling soldiers they’re not supposed to obey illegal orders is seditious, then every military officer is guilty because that’s in the fucking training you boot-licking pinheaded cultists.

The richest man in the world and the biggest loser in the world are the same person. Makes me wonder how many of the other billionaires who are shitting all over the planet are equally stupid and cringey.

It's lunacy that these fools have been allowed to seize so much influence.

Gentle reminder that in the late '50s, the U.S. government did not censor comics. Comics companies censored themselves.

Not sure why that crossed my mind today but there it is...

Since taking office, Trump has halted or ended 1/3 of investigations and enforcement actions against Big Tech giants — including Meta, Tesla, and Google.

These same tech companies have spent over $1.2B to influence Trump during and since the 2024 election.

Everything is for sale.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.

It doesn't have to be this way.

Social Security turns 90 today. The cornerstone of FDR's New Deal keeps millions out of poverty every year. How is the Trump regime celebrating? By shrinking the SSA workforce, crashing its website, increasing wait times, and replacing humans with AI chatbots.
