Original Zelda Krup returns with a chartreuse pallor. Green and queasy. Life goes better with Zofran. Still battling woo, junk science, MAGA fascists, fringe theories, and narcissists. I have no marketable skills but ask me about Thoroughbred racing.

The Third Presbyterian Church in Chester, PA was one of the town's few surviving landmarks. Progress was being made to turn it into a community art center, but it was destroyed by arson before the plans were completed. www.abandonedamerica.us/third-presby...

The darkened interior of a church with ornate wooden ceiling beams and curved pews. The carpet is red and in the background light streams in through partially broken stained glass windows.

This makes my heart hurt. What a stunning, soaring building, now lost forever.

It wld have to be 100+ agents. Even with a huge number, Trump, Miller and Bondi wld say the statements were faked by AI. Enough ppl in US already think "chemtrails" are real along with countless other rumor panics.

This is the re-segregation of America, plus Trump will make sure women lose the right to vote as revenge if the full Epstein information ever comes out. Barrett will vote against her own suffrage.

I can’t not believe how hard it is to sleep when you’re watching your country, be dismantled by the dumbest people.

Bondi's a bit more savvy than when Sarah Palin wrote on the palm of her hand but both are cut from the same cloth -- mean girl snot from high school.

Yup. Also called "framing."

Maher is a creep and JHC, what happened to Jones? It's like the two formed their own cult.

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE:

This statement is a clear example of what is known as “State Terrorism”: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.

If you’re white, your accomplishments are your own and you can resent and criticize the country all you like, but if you’re black and successful you should be grateful to white people for allowing you in their presence. bsky.app/profile/jess...

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

Tweet from the VP:
Joy Reid has had such a good life in this country. It's been
overwhelmingly kind and gracious to her. She is far wealthier than most.
Yet she oozes with contempt.
My honest, non-trolling advice to Joy Reid is that you'd be a much
happier person if you showed a little gratitude

I have the book. I took it out of the bookcase last night to show my husband some of the photos (he didn't live here when all this was going on). I opened the book and the binding cracked in two. Me calling this macabre is putting it gently.

"'That fucking dumbass,' one of the senior Trump administration officials told Zeteo on Wednesday, after seeing a clip of Lutnick riffing on Epstein. 'I’ve worked with him ... He just talks and talks, and doesn’t care what unhelpful bullshit comes out.'"

"‘F***ing Dumbass’: Trump Officials Want Howard Lutnick Sidelined After Epstein Comments"

Trump's commerce secretary called Epstein ‘the greatest blackmailer ever' & his colleagues are now super mad at him.

Another scoop from Zeteo's newest reporter @swin24.bsky.social:

Howard Lutnick Enrages Trump Officials With Jeffrey Epstein ‘Blackmail’ Remarks

The Trump administration claims Jeffrey Epstein didn’t blackmail anyone. His commerce secretary just called Epstein ‘the greatest blackmailer ever.’

The inept Trump administration is too stupid to stop creating evidence that can be used to show the court that the indictment of James Comey was not because he was guilty of any crime, but so the vengeful Donald Trump could humiliate him and make him suffer.

Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 5d

Breaking on MSNBC:

An FBI agent in the Washington field office has been fired for refusing to arrest and perp walk James Comey.

This news was first reported by Reuters.

I’m told ICE attacked us—despite us being off the street, courtesy of the state police—to create a spectacle because Kristi Noem was present today. Here’s some footage of her and her team on the roof of Broadview. Everything is content creation to these fascists.

2022: Elon Musk claims this is Ghislaine Maxwell photobombing him at a party and that he did not know her.

2025: Elon Musk's name appears in the Epstein Files. 👀

So many things I still do today bc I was working and riding the bus in that era. One night back then 7-8 of us got off the bus going home from work & formed a tight pack, men & women walking to our apts. No one said a word. We all knew why.
