I've been going over the latest release of the Epstein Files, and...my gods.
Those nutjobs were 100% right about there being a conspiracy of global pedophilic elites tying each other together with blackmail and evil indulgences. They were just wrong about Trump not being involved. #epstein #doj

Hey, really important note: they are firing Bovino, Noem, and likely Miller to convince Americans that the problem is fixed and they can stop being angry. DO NOT FALL FOR IT.
The problem is Trump and ICE, not just the people in charge of ICE. #usa #minneapolis

“I can’t look my daughters in the eye and say I’m running as a Republican, when they’re pulling over Hispanics and Asians because of the color of the skin... I did not sign up for that.”

It appears that all new videos and bulletins about Minneapolis from creators are being throttled on Tiktok today, 1/25/26. Multiple creators reporting zero views over extended periods, unable to access help center, and bulletin boards being force-closed.

The Trump administration’s release of the Epstein grand jury documents are entirely redacted.

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down.
All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown.
So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

AI is not just a symptom of an unfair society, it is the symbol of it. It is designed to actively make the average Joe who uses it dumber while making the men who own it richer, consuming billions of gallons in drinkable water every year.

The most pathetic, pitiable thing about the billionaire class is that even with all the wealth in the world, they have nothing. No burning convictions so dear they compel them to act, no great truths that they clutch to their hearts like they do gold.

Ozzy's death hits hard. Joke all you want about his oddities, but the man built one of the most revolutionary genres in music with nothing but his buddies, passion, and a shit-ton of drugs.
Even now, it feels fake to say he's dead. Even in death, he's an immortal legend. #ozzy #rock #metal

As someone who studied and read Lovecraft extensively as an English major...the guy was NOT good at writing. He was just prolific.
He borrowed from much better writers like Bierce, Chambers, and Poe without understanding anything about what made their work good.

As a horror junkie, it's shocking to me how many movies I can't watch anymore now that i'm a father.
Like, my god there are a LOT of movies that are very okay with horrific violence towards children in the name of genre expectation.
YES, DAMIEN LEONE, I'm talking to you.
