A bunch of folks are posting about the academics and administrators tied to Epstein, and I have to say, I really don't think people understand how bad academia is and how fundamentally broken higher education is here in the US. You can ask anyone that's worked in academia. They've all seen some shit

If you think that what ICE is doing is bad, you should see how many people the cops murder every year, then come to the realization that those two things are connected.

Again, when Bari Weiss said she wanted to do "the fucking news" she apparently meant something different than what we initially assumed
Looking at the list of 19 new CBS News commentators, the median number of times they appear in the searchable Epstein database is 2 and the mean is 100

I was there. They were indiscriminately firing multiple canisters into a huge peaceful crowd. Fucking cowards

40K idea i've had rattling around my head since forever: recontacted imperial world (perhaps trapped behind a warp storm for a few centuries) that is notably faithful and produces important materials and remarkably loyal troops

except the local tradition is fully convinced that Emps is a girl

What's wild is it's really coming into focus that the, essentially, elite complaint of "the far left" from the right to the center left is because every one of these people hung out and chatted together on Epstein's pedo island

The Venn diagram now of people who think "cancel culture" threatens society and the people who hung out at Epstein Island is also looking like a perfect circle

The object lesson people should be taking away from Epstein is that Rich People Are Bad, actually, and that you were a fool to ever waste an iota of your time lecturing Internet Communists about how they're just jealous of the saintly wealth-havers because they're gainfully employed or whatever.

And Epstein was an explicit eugenicist! Even in the (unlikely) scenario that the academics writing him chummy emails didn't know about the pedophilia charges, they were seeking funding because they thought their work aligned with his interests, which were monstrous.

ICE is assaulting and at war with americans. we are all their enemy. no other way to look at it at this point
Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

One of the detainees speaking out in this article is Nasra Ahmed, a 23 year old US citizen who was grabbed by ICE on her way to the pharmacy to pick up anti seizure medication.

She had her papers.

ICE didn’t care.

She’s been arrested again at an anti ICE protest.

The government: If you accept a gift over $20, we will shoot your dog, burn your house down, fuck your wife, and then throw you in jail

Also the government: The cop says he worked 14.5hrs/day for an entire year? Get Officer Stakhanov over here a raise.

It rules how every other government worker is subject to incredible scrutiny for like everything but if you're a cop you can just do blatant fraud and everyone kinda just shrugs at it

At this point, I’m expecting every single thing in America to be tainted by some Epstein connection. Dude seemed to have his disgusting, pedophilic fingers in every apple pie in America.
So, learning that this guy who has some large part in Hollywood casting and the workings of LA Comic Con may make me stop going to LA Comic Con. Dude was E-mailing and writing letters to Jeffrey Epstein. Quite a few FedEx packages sent between them, too.

The Epstein files are putting a lot of us in the strange position of being not just vindicated but almost too vindicated. Most of us thought the public patterns implied horrendous things but the reality is even worse and all-encompassing

Mark, based on your extensive research into “inequality in culture, networks, and health,” do you think your young female colleagues should seek funding similarly to how your kind and humane friend Nick did? Why or why not?

Way too many people in this country would rather their kids be sexually assaulted and abused than be trans.

The Epstein files prove that. An elite pedophilia ring is discovered with hundreds of victims and what do our leaders do?

Attack trans people to "protect children."

given that all these people have had, you know, at LEAST seven years to prepare a vigorous and well-argued defense for appearing in the epstein files, it’s remarkable how much flailing is happening in public
