If the Epstein files turn up evidence of Trump with an underage girl, expect a lively discussion on the right about the arbitrariness of age of consent laws.

I miss the carefree days of Anthony Scaramucci and Michael Cohen.

This is such important historical work. I lived through the thick of this, and Cosper covers it with honesty and care.

The thing I’m wondering is why JD Vance’s suits never fit. He always looks like he grabbed a matching jacket and pants set off the rack at JC Penny’s on the way to the event.

Trump was recruited by KGB with codename 'Krasnov', claims ex-Soviet spy Former Chairman of Kazakhstan’s National Security Committee Alnur Mussayev claims the Soviet KGB recruited Donald Trump before the collapse of the USSR, assigning him the alias Krasnov

This is almost certainly bullshit; that said, be on the lookout for a forthcoming podcast from @eddymoretti.bsky.social detailing some much more interesting Trump/Russia ties. www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news...

Been reading the literature on post tramautic growth. Suffering doesn’t teach us a damn thing.

Interviewer: Can you explain this gap in your resume?

John Cage:

It was only a matter of time before this oppressed minority stood up for themselves.

If I were a conspiracy theorist, I’d be thinking that Joe Biden faked his dementia to sabotage the Dems so that they wouldn’t be holding the bag in the economic collapse coming in the next four years. These market trends are terrifying.

I really love @duneprophecy.bsky.social, but I fear for its cancellation.

For a roast, it does seem a little too nice, eh?

"Writing Style:
Jeremy writes like the love child of a philosophy professor and a stand-up comedian—witty, insightful, and slightly convoluted, making you wonder if you should be laughing or taking notes."

Favreau is more right than wrong here. The problem the left has in winning elections is not the internal machinations of the Democrat party, or the lack of a “perfect” candidate. The problem Dems have is with the voters.

I was about to get mad about Hunter's pardon, but then I read about the crimes for which Trump pardoned Charles Kushner.

They say that salespeople are the easiest people to sell to, and I think that’s what’s going on with Trump’s cabinet picks. Each one is a magnificent shittalker, and Trump is snookered into believing that means they are competent in their respective fields.

Aesthetics people: I'm looking for things to read about the development of taste, i.e. the capacity for aesthetic appreciation. Not stuff about the judgment of taste: I'm specifically interested in reading about what it is to *develop* one's taste, and how one goes about it. Reposts welcome!

Tonight’s playlist is a hefty dose of exotica music curated by @retrococktailhour.bsky.social.

It’s heartening to witness a good idea take off. Starter Packs are one such good idea!

People are not primarily attracted to conspiracy theories because of pathology, personality traits, or political commitments. Instead, people are drawn to CTs for aesthetic reasons: they have a taste for a particular type of story.

Lay’s Stax are superior to Pringles in every way. Here I stand, I can do no other.

This little review really captures the heart of What to Save and Why : )
