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.

I’ve been going to CrossFit for a year and I hate it but it’s good for me. I am always off to the corner and completely silent but today someone referred to Fiona Apple as a one hit wonder and I reflexively shouted “What? Sacrilege!”

We all live in a world where we’re viewed as entirely disposable by our jobs, the healthcare system, on and on. I will never understand why ice floe-ing every name in the Epstein files is not an acceptable and immediate reaction from the entire working population. We do not need these people.

Not to get political, but America is very pretty and has a lot of nice folks making cool things, and I think if we had a president who wasn’t actively trying to murder us, we could have a pretty good time

I know it’s been said a million times but it’s pretty funny how many short king steroid comedians with corny ass manchild tattoos called themselves free speech warriors right up until the moment free speech was actually under attack.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people.
But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

The American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want - But inflation! But wokeness! - but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made

My neighbor has a big truck that says POWER WAGON on the side. Sometimes POWER WAGON is parked in another driveway across the street and I don‘t know if there are two POWER WAGONS or if he always drives POWER WAGON even if it’s 20ft to visit a neighbor. I don’t know what’s going on with POWER WAGON.

In the most delco accent imaginable: “Have you had the Wawa gobbler stuff yet?”
“No.”
“Really?” In a respectful, but surprised tone like they just heard an interesting fact about Abraham Lincoln

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same
