"The powerful skirt justice to gather more power… A state that adheres to a policy of justice weakens itself… it makes enemies of the unjust, who are powerful, but those who benefit from justice will not express gratitude for it, as they believe justice is already their right." - Machiavelli

It isn't Jeffery Epstein that makes women mistrust men. The men around him knew, if not about the pedophilia, they knew he went through vulnerable women like skittles. They tacitly approved of and wished to emulate him. They didn't care about the girls at all.

… and then what???
What happens to all the detainees of each background once they’ve been… sorted according to “perceived” immigration status?*
Mind you, the first 1/2 of the story @chrislhayes.bsky.social is quote skeeting is horrific enough, even before they sorted anyone.

This is absolutely terrifying.
I called up one of the White House's "special government employees" involved in the Fulton County FBI raid.
I ended up on the phone for almost two hours hearing about the "deep state" "cabal," "Satanists," poison soda, and the "pure evil" of "gay pride." talkingpointsmemo.com/news/meet-th...

The one thing I'm getting from this presentation is that rich people are utterly insulated from the human part of the political world and they like it that way.
Depressing: my financial advisor is expecting the Democrats to do well but then not fight Republican filibustering, resulting in gridlock, "corporate unleashing and a mid-term miracle."
Fuck.
Fuck.

Since the invention of the scientific method and mrdicine that actually works, for-profit health care is literal hostage-taking: pay up or die.
This is insane because the HOSPITAL WANTS THOSE ORGANS and therefore should not CHARGE FOR THIS SERVICE

The Spirits Within isn't a great movie. It's essentially "The Space Marines from Aliens learning about Gaia Theory"
And yet I'd give a kidney to see a major studio attempt a high concept Sci-fi film like that again.

I'm at a Book Off, and I can't justify $30 for this, but it's a neat find that I wish to document.

So dumbass fans did like $12,000 to the historic pergola in Seattle Sunday night & the parks dept has started a GFM to get the money to repair it. This is a chance for the Seahawks to do the right thing & pay to repair it.

Glacier the skunk is chowing down on an apple in her home at the Cincinnati Zoo.
Until 1993, Glacier would have been in Family Mustelidae with weasels & badgers.
But molecular evidence showed that her ancestors diverged 60 MYA, so she gets her own family: Mephitidae which means, roughly, "stinky."

A few years from now when the last coal plant closes, Burgum should be forced to attend the demolition.
Burgum: "CO2 was never a pollutant. When we breathe, we emit CO2. Plants need CO2 to survive and grow. They thrive with more CO2. So the whole endangerment thing opens up an opportunity for the revival of clean, beautiful, American coal."

You don't "reform" a culture of abuse on par with the Nazi Schutzstaffel.
You burn it to the ground. If you need some of the functions it once performed, you create new agencies.
And you perform responsible oversight.

No one can deny that ICE under this Administration is being overly aggressive, violating people's rights, and endangering the lives of U.S. citizens and law abiding immigrants. We cannot move forward without commonsense reforms.
