Horrific allegations. Hopefully, journalists are looking into this to determine whether the story holds up and what the FBI did to investigate
“He raped me.”
“Donald J Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein.”
“She was found with her head ‘blown off’… there was no way it was a suicide.”
Now we’re starting to see why Trump was hiding the Epstein files, and it probably gets much worse.

Some people are born sadists, others are made.
![Rudolf Diels, the first head of the Gestapo, once observed, "The infliction of physical punishment is not every man's job, and naturally we were only too glad to recruit men who were prepared to show no squeamish- ness at their task. Unfortunately, we knew nothing about the Freudian side of the business, and it was only after a number of instances of unnecessary flogging and mean- ingless cruelty that I tumbled [sic] to the fact that my organization had been attracting all the sadists in Ger- many and Austria without my knowledge for some time past. It had also been attracting unconscious sadists, i.e. men who did not know themselves that they had sadist leanings until they took part in a flogging. And finally it had been actually creating sadists. For it seems that corpo- ral chastisement ultimately arouses sadistic leanings in apparently normal men and women. Freud might explain
it."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:spwrm5gruwav3nexps3ly4ky/bafkreidjdt5v5snbwv3otukzxikidqqkdtjwqdoitqwzv73o7bwd6m36fa@jpeg)

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

I used to get them both confused with that other one, too.
I was happier with the status quo ante in which I wasn't really quite sure which one was Ben Shapiro and which one was Charlie Kirk or whether they were actually two different people at all.
