It's hard to overstate how NORMAL it was to sexualize teen girls when I was growing up.
"Jailbait" jokes were everywhere, I was constantly sexually harassed by men in cars when walking to school in 6th grade.
Epstein is of an cohort where it was GENERALLY maybe a little edgy but not extreme.

I need people to understand that it’s not just Epstein, it’s the entire rape culture that existed before and after him at every socioeconomic level. That’s why Epstein, who I’ve never thought was particularly smart or interesting, was able to pull this all off—he recognized how abuse functions

Huge news! They actually released Liam Ramos and his father!
Please remember that ICE is abducting more people - including children - all the time. And they will no doubt keep trying to harass and destroy this family.
Defund and abolish ICE and support immigrants!

Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich

A cabal of pedophiles conspired to destroy the US government from within by seeding fascist ideas into online forums, spreading conspiracy theories about the opposition based on their own actions, and devised an alternative currency to upend the global economy. Now they run the US government and CBS

Yesterday I looked up how many mediums there are in the phonebook (for book reasons) and it reminded me of this thread. I thought I should share it again so more of you can enjoy the weirdness that is Icelandic humour.
(FYI here are 12 mediums in the phonebook, one is a medium AND stunt actor)

When you register your name in the Icelandic phonebook you can choose to state your profession. And they have a pretty loose definition of what exactly a profession entails.
This person for example has opted for „þjóðhetja“. It means „National Hero“.

A tiny human (2?) is holding a toy wooden train that is almost as big as he is.
Mum asks what he would like to eat and Tiny Human consults his toy train.
Apparently all discerning locomotives like eating fresh strawberries with extra chocolate sauce and marshmallows on top. (2)

🧵Spotted at a Kai* Festival in Aotearoa New Zealand:
A cheerful man (30s?) resting on crutches, holds his arms out to an approaching group of people and roars: "Kia ora whānau!* So good to see you!"
He's asked what happened to his foot and looking abashed he laughs, saying: "My bike bit me eh." (1)

The way my grandmother understood what happened in her village was that the Poles killed the Jews of the town
because they wanted their houses and all their stuff.
Greed leads to greater evils.

I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.
