To everyone and especially MAGAs feeling betrayed by Trump's shameless lie that as president he would release the Epstein files:

Please share this video from 2017 you will NEVER see on Fox revealing how "LOCK HER UP!" in 2016 was Trump's biggest lie since "Make America Great Again".

The fact that Elon musk, Peter Thiel, and Steve Bannon all being in the Epstein files dropped out of the news way too fast www.bbc.com/news/article...
Elon Musk and Prince Andrew named in new Epstein files
The documents by the estate of convicted paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein were released by Congressional Democrats.

I’m don’t think there’s any doubt about this.

Republicans and Trump are absolutely shitting themselves over the evidence against Trump in the Epstein files.

I think Trump would rather Congress never vote to reopen the government than let Adelrita Grijalva trigger the Epstein Files discharge. And I bet he doesn’t have a plan other than the Insurrection Act.

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

Calling English a 'rip-off degree' is one of the most blatant exhibitions of personal barbarism I've ever seen. You've demonstrated nothing but the poverty of your own mind.

SO much enjoyed last night's screening of WE WERE HERE: The Untold History of Black Africans in the Renaissance. Fred Kudjo Kuwornu is an incredibly talented filmmaker. Stunningly lovely music, as well! Thanks very much to @languagesdurham.bsky.social for making this event happen.

So thrilled on this #ITD to share our first reading from Telugu, by @subhashri.bsky.social, from THAT'S A FIRE ANT RIGHT THERE, a portrayal of small-town Indian lives with a clear message of friendship, especially among Hindus and Muslims: essential reading in today’s fraught times.
D V Subhashri reads Mohammed Khadeer Babu's THAT'S A FIRE ANT RIGHT THERE (Speaking Tiger Books)
Captured in the innocent voice of a young boy, Mohammed Khadeer Babu’s Chaplinesque-style of portraying misery through humour shines a sweeping light on Muslim lives in coastal Andhra. Populated with…

📌Democrats are craving bold, decisive leadership.
Instead, they have Chuck Schumer.

It would be laughable it wasn't so damn sad ...

This is who Chuck Schumer thought he was going to negotiate with

I am sick of Democratic leaders who have no idea the level of danger this country is in and how far we have fallen from the democracy we had just 12 years ago

The flew the entire military leadership in so they could see for themselves that the Secretary of Defense is a mouthbreathing dipshit and the Commander in Chief is a senile, weak old man who might keel over at any moment.

Today I received a job with the following instruction:

"Machine (pre-)translation is not permitted"

Glad there are still clients out there who value real, human translation skills.

Happy International Translation Day!

Most of us actually DO wish we could afford real ass furniture instead of flat pack shit from IKEA or Amazon made out of particle board, canvas and aluminum tubes but I guess we’ll just use fucking Orange crates and chain spools an entire nation of shitty burnout college housing.

Why are the American president's claims about autism the first item on British news bulletins?

He's not our president, the advice doesn't apply here and he's not presented any evidence to support his assertions.

So why spread these claims? What make this the biggest story in the UK?

I still am stunned, years later, that dozens of cops at Uvalde waited 77 minutes to kill the shooter while kids died.

Has ANYONE been held accountable?

I hope the makers of Tylenol hold the deed to the White House itself after they get done suing Trump and his administration.

Trump is a master at getting people to talk about bullshit that doesn’t matter. People are literally wasting valuable resources planning Substacks on Tylenol when you know damn well - this is all bullshit. When TF are ya’ll going to learn the playbook?

That’s all I want to know.
