Wouldn't it have been timely to include in this article that our new Fed Chair nominee Kevin Warsh is in the Epstein files? Here he is planning to spend Christmas 2010 with Epstein at St. Bart's - AFTER Epstein had pled guilty to procuring a child for prostitution in 2008. via @meidastouch.com

We had files released today that contained accusations that the President of the United States stuck his fingers in little girls vaginas, and it’s crickets.

If that phrasing makes you cringe, it sure as fucking hell should.

You know.....every day I think....well this can't get any more insane. Every day I'm proven wrong. Holy fuck.

So what kind of insane shit is the White House going to pull in the next 48 hours to try and change the narrative? I would think they’re not quite ready to invade Cuba yet. The tariff thing is getting old. Buckle up. Should be interesting.

Powerful statement from the family of Alex Pretti, obtained by CNN:

"Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world..."

I'm listing resources available to students to do research on slavery and the trade in enslaved Africans in the Atlantic. Some people might find it useful, so I'm linking it here, in the hope that people will point be towards others. English is prefered, but any language is acceptable

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama.

Us: Across your entire career?

Reiner: In a 6 year period.

Us: That sounds-

Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

Have to say, this makes me kinda sick. Like what the fuck are we supposed to do? Boycott all tech?

These fucking companies are rolling over just like all the German businesses did for the Nazis.

Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, and Google have a lot riding on their relationships with the Trump administration. They all cut checks for the ballroom.

When the Nazis came to power in Germany, they did so with only 37% of the vote. It was only after they came to power that German corporations rolled over for them.

None of this is very surprising.

Can folks do me a favor?

I was on Bluesky early & it was great. Mostly. I hit the eject button in January.

I came back, many colleagues are here, but still don’t know I am.

I co-created Halt and Catch Fire. I write TV & comics.

Here’s two favorite set photos.

Repost? I am in the wilderness.

I think we might have to admit that we had it wrong. Maybe it was the Israelis who had the tapes.
