If you’re seeing this image circulating, which purports to show that Jeffrey Epstein is still alive, it’s AI generated.

unfortunately extremely funny to give a speech at the Prayer Breakfast about what suckers those religious people are lol
Trump: "Mike Johnson is a very religious person. He does not hide it. He'll say to me sometimes at lunch, 'Sir, may we pray.' I'll say, 'Excuse me? We're having lunch.'"

I believe I solved the main theorem of the paper and I've now convinced both my coauthors and I'm very hyped
Been thinking about the contents of the paper and I think it's gonna be extremely cool 😎

Suppose I *almost* have a representation of the pair groupoid TxT ⇉ T into 𝗖𝗮𝘁, except that (t,t) doesn't exactly get mapped to the identity but to a functor naturally isomorphic to the identity
What's a nice way of saying this? Is that a "weak" representation or something?

Very important order because "it's too hard to do this legally" is the universal stepping stone towards fascism

Dear @ohdahlia.bsky.social
Are you familiar with polydactyly?
It's a congenital condition resulting in extra fingers or toes caused by genetic mutations.
Does this mean that 5-fingers is not the norm—that digits is on a spectrum between 1 & 6?
Intersex people are not a 3rd sex.
Sex is binary

Biologists recognize intersex people, if they don’t then they’re not biologists. Cut the shit.

The verb ‘to worry’ has surprising family members.
Within Germanic, it’s related to German ‘würgen’ and Dutch ‘wurgen’, which mean “to strangle”.
A little further down the family line, they’re related to Latin ‘urgēre’ (to press), which gave English ‘urgent’.

"rich dipshit owner doesn't understand the industry he's bought into and clumsily destroys what made it good" feels less like a narrative unique to the washington post and more like the music that's been playing in the background of all our lives for at least 40 years

"Is it not true—and I remind you that you're under oath—that since the engagement the groom has not once gone 'buckwild' with the bois?"
Weddings should have a prosecutor instead of an officiant and he should be able to cross examine both parties. I also have other ideas

anyone trying to regitm rather than abolish should be referred to as a "Pro-ICE Extremist"
I stand corrected. Four out of 5 Democrats want to abolish ICE.
Any elected Dem asking for less is outside the mainstream of their party.

Their new poll came out today. It's up to 79% support including 66% (!) strongly support.

theyre not ICE prisons theyre warehouse with cages inside. the layout and design will maximize how many people they can hold inside locked fences. there will be no movement, activities, programming, or congregate time for the incarcerated. Heating, cooling, and humidity control will be insufficient
