the Epstein files make it very clear why the MeToo backlash was so extreme and why so much of elite society preferred Donald Trump ruling us like a king to the barest hint of accountability

1. Poor Irish farmers who lost their land
2. Poor Scots-Irish farmers who lost... yep
3. Poor (likely cryptoJewish) Polish farmers probably fleeing pogroms
4. Relatively well-off Scottish farmers who just really hated the fucking English
Genuinely curious: If your family is American, what brought them here?

Faking a blockbuster is much, much harder I guess than a number one seller book, where you can demand cronies and institutions buy 1000s of your shitty shit shit books.
"Melania" is the lowest rated tv or movie ever on IMDB.

Can't stop crying.

At the end of the day, people need to just accept that they are under surveillance and there are feds/undercovers watching them and to make smart choices to stay safe. Peace policing does not do that, it only stokes paranoia and does the work of the state. It does not bolster safety.

I'm aware that this is textbook antitransmasculinity but look guys, I'm just preening about being called intimidating lmao
I'm gonna censor the name and not show the full conversation but this came after me like...pretty not aggressively saying "hey, comparing the masculinity of trans men and masc lesbians to fascistic patriarchs is kind of shitty" (I'm paraphrasing)

Dr. Ting provides emergency room care to a battered victim so that Epstein doesn't have to take her to a real ER and answer questions about what he's doing with a kid that young and how she got hurt.

Everything moves so fast now. It's impossible to give every event the care and attention it deserves, especially when the bar is "at least no one died."

But what happened in Portland outside the ICE building was evidence of yet another escalationβ€”and a terrifying harbinger of things to come.

Epstein sent trafficking victims to Ting to receive breast augmentations dating back to at least 2010 - likely prior to Epstein's conviction in 2008.

this is a very cool thing to do and also highlights one of the biggest keys to Zohran's appeal: he just thinks New York City is really neat

people who live somewhere want to vote for someone who likes it there and wants to make it better, not someone who wants to use it as a springboard

I’m amused he’s citing Bridgerton.
Notice that an equally 'historically inaccurate' Matt Damon as a Mediterranean islander does not cause racist-ass Murray to 'feel hostility'.

One of my favorite jokes of all time is "Adolph Hitler Commits Suicide" being a tiny headline under the banner story about a hare-vs-tortoise race ... in 1943, two years before Hitler committed suicide. He was alive and well when the Warner Bros. cartoonists made this joke.

At Aldi I hear "Katie get off the floor love"

Katie goes "I'm a penguin mum", flops down on the floor and just kicks herself along the whole length of the aisle making penguin noises.

Katie, I hope one day you'll know the effort your parents made not to laugh out loud. I think they're kinda proud.

This line that the right-wing is committing itself to - ICE is nothing like the Gestapo, because Jews were European citizens and immigrants today are not - is so misleading. Jews were stripped of citizenship under Reich Laws, just as immigrants today are having legal status arbitrarily rescinded.

So, I am not quite sure what this is, but it’s hard to believe Pirro is talking with Main Justice here.

DOJ’s Civil Rights Division is suing over DC’s semiautomatic gun ban and the head of the Civil Rights Division, Harmeet Dhillon, backs a national reciprocity law.
Pirro: "You bring a gun into the District, you mark my words, you're going to jail. I don't care if you have a license in another district and I don't care if you're a law abiding law owner somewhere else. You bring a gun into this District, count on going to jail. And that makes all the difference"

"Ohio Democrats say forced Haitian exodus would devastate local economies."

Could we like, I don't know, care about people whether or not they contribute to the economy? I don't give a flying fuck about the local economy right now when people are in danger of being kidnapped and jailed

it's admittedly been some time since I've been to Springfield, but I have family and friends in the area, and if that's supposed to be the Clark County Heritage Center clock tower--that's just not even what that area looks like. They've turned up the "Hallmark movie small town" settings to 11
