While it would be advantageous to have unfettered access to the files...there really is enough out there already (Howard Stern transcripts, Trumps handwritten birthday card, etc.) to have an informed opinion on the matter.
“To believe anything about Epstein coming from Trump and his cronies requires a complete suspension of common sense, which is why it’s good to remember that the simplest explanation is often the correct one: they’re lying.” — @justinglawe.bsky.social

Which is to say, Trump is killing fishermen in the Caribbean for the thrill of it.
WHOA. Trump says he will pardon Juan Orlando Hernandez, who once said that he wanted to “shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.” He had people killed as part of his narco-trafficking ring, which he at times operated directly out of his presidential office.

Saturn is currently the best place to set your space opera, according to science--it's got those gorgeous rings, and it also has a TON OF MOONS. @jdnicoll.bsky.social offers worldbuilding tips for Saturn-based stories!

A key goal for MAGA is to build a surplus of uneducated labor for car dealers, real estate offices, and cube farm lords to trap and abuse in their localities. It's not new, I heard the same arguments against going to college in the 80's. I knew what these types were looking to get out of the deal.
One of the bragging rights that the US ed system had in the 20th century is that we didn't have education tracks. Essentially, any kid could go to a CC or state school & major in whatever they wanted to (obviously an oversimplification). I fear this aspect of the American dream is dying.
