The release of the Epstein files is required by law to happen on December 19th.
On December 18th, we will "officially" be at war with Venezuela.
Bank on it.

The only thing more worrying than this regime's censorship and surveillance is the compliance of Meta and other quisling companies and institutions agreeing to this shit
"The takedowns and restrictions began in October and targeted the Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp accounts of more than 50 organisations worldwide ... in what appears to be a growing push by Meta to limit reproductive health and queer content across its platforms."

Mpls Mayor Jacob Frey: "What we are seeing again & again is discrimination only to the extent that it applies to certain groups. So they're discriminating only as it applies to Latinos and Somalis ... you can't do that. You can't do that in Minneapolis. You can't do there anywhere in this country."

This hollowness has been apparent across so many industries. I truly believe it has caused the nihilism driving our politics. Academia was perhaps one of the last refuges of meaningful work. It seems the quest for knowledge too will become just another corporate team-building exercise in forced fun.
„Students going through motions they know are empty, faculty grading work they suspect wasn’t written by students, administrators celebrating ‘innovations‘ everyone else understands are destroying education.“

Farmers are celebrating the bailout as “Christmas coming early.” Meanwhile, many of the same voices insisted students didn’t deserve loan relief because they should “pull themselves up by their bootstraps.”
