Skimming the big unsorted (panic?) Epstein drop completely unscientifically. Found something mildly interesting anyway. Text file 032682, email chain between epstein and a redacted, probably gulf friend / associate. Discussing visits and some Saudi project. /1
that's the more important takeaway, stolenphonehat, but also "vending machine for [selling] used electronics"?

Timeline Cleanse: Please enjoy this photo of a praying mantis that was sitting on top of my car windshield, but the angling and lighting were so weird it looks like a giant praying mantis wandering a corn field in Iowa.

Every year, we pitch the Smithsonian and say, "Let us have an exhibit space for safety. We'll light things on fire. People will love it." And every year they're like, "No. All our old stuff. Wahh." We're trying to bring a visceral educational experience into the mix, guys. Give us a chance.

All right, so we already know that Bill Ackman is the dumbest motherfucker in finance in general (AND he donated $10k to Jonathan Ross’ defense fund) but let me put you all on game here about mortgage-backed securities and demonstrate why he’s idiotic here in specific: 1/??
Lmfao what an awesome proposal. One reason you need a 90% income tax rate at this level is these guys are too stupid to have the amount of power they do. Like giving a glock to a 4 year old

They won't have the numbers to occupy the nation and force everyone to comply, and that's why they're engaged in such an aggressive show of force. They're hoping we all get cowed into submission and do their work of suppression ourselves.

Once again, no.

The mantra remains "fuck you, make me."

/3 No, but seriously: here’s a thread from the last time I got out of a hospital. I mean every bit of it sincerely. There’s nothing to be ashamed of if you fight depression or anxiety or anything else, and there is always hope of being better. Believe!

Hi. I was away for a week. Hope everyone is doing well.

There are people who believe the reasons for my absence are shameful and disqualifying for full participation on public life.

Those people can snort my taint.

If you need help, get help. Don’t wait to be in crisis. You can feel better.

much of the idea behind a wedge salad is that it is clearly fresh lettuce

you take a fresh, or at least unopened, head of lettuce, and a big sharp knife, and go thwock thwock

here is your big wedge of fresh lettuce (hey, that's the name of the dish!) and some toppings, some of them unhealthy
