Trump's Attorney General said she had Epstein’s client list. And then… nothing.

If that was a lie, it’s a scandal.

If it was true, and it vanished? That’s a cover-up.

Either way, we deserve answers. Justice shouldn’t depend on who you are or how much power you have.

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

We're Not Going to Colonize Mars On Adam Becker's new book and the people who are going to destroy the universe in the name of saving "humanity."

As @adambecker.bsky.social makes clear in his new book, More Everything Forever, we’re not going to colonize Mars. What’s underneath the desire of tech oligarchs to take us there is deeply disturbing. open.substack.com/pub/bibliora...

i am fascinated by the outright refusal of people in the professional political commentary class to just consider the possibility that there is no plan and that trump really is a braying idiot with the more acute case of narcissistic personality disorder on record
