The Epstein class loves to cite Machiavelli and so forth but they are still deeply insecure people who don't even have the guts to look people in the eye when they fire them. They know they should be ashamed, and this one of the reasons why it's important we constantly criticize their bad behavior.
I've written about the overarching post story, causes, underlying pattern. But the failure of Lewis or Bezos to even show up, literally or figuratively, on a day of devastating cuts epitomizes the profound lack of character and accountability that is so common place today within the American elite.

Look at this absolute delight! A local church holds a Rocking Service where the baby in the Parish born nearest to Christmas Day, is rocked in a decorated cradle at Candlemas. Possibly the last Church in the world to do so - unless you know different? #TinyJoys

A new all-electric double-decker Climate Stripes bus has started taking passengers around Reading today.
The bus shows the warming stripes for Reading back to the 1860s and will hopefully help start climate conversations amongst passengers.

The rooftops of Little Wenlock peek above the morning mist in this ethereal view from the summit of the Wrekin. It’s the hope of coming across scenes like this that means I carry all my lenses with me whenever I go out, because I never want to miss a photo opportunity.

That a federal judge was so moved to add a photo of the child to his opinion is a stunning moment
Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."
Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

This week I attended the opening of 46 new affordable, zero‑carbon homes at Wensley Road in Coley Park.
I spoke to Matt Yeo, Lead Councillor for Housing, about the fantastic work that the council is doing to deliver high quality social housing projects like this one across the town.

The more I watch this from Hannah Spencer, two things happen:
1. The more I like it and her.
2. The more it makes me want to get out and do what she says by volunteering.
... I'm surprisingly moved by 2, as I can physically feel it breaking through the armour of scepticism I've built around myself.

What an amazing sight - thousands of starlings swooping and diving in unison above the nature reserve at Whixall Moss. The birds made an incredible whooshing sound as they wheeled through the sky at sunset before settling down to roost for the night.

Excellent picture. Most of the bottom right quarter is the back of the old Radcliffe Infirmary, now occupied mainly by the Blavatnik and Humanities Buildings. The Radcliffe Observatory with its tower is at bottom centre. Date? 1960s colouring. At least two buildings completed in 1959 and 1960.
Here's a #HigherEducationPostcard of @ox.ac.uk - or at least a good proportion of its colleges and facilities
What in the picture can you put a name on?
