I stay out of it and blocked it and it’s outside my wheelhouse and I don’t have the facts, etc. but damn if one can be aware of people shot maimed, dragged from their children and still pissily shit stir—that to me indicates loss of plot completely. We mustn’t get lost in the social media sauce.

The recent bad blood that’s been raised? (Over a shit stirrer? At such a time? Why would someone shitstir NOW?). But read the comments. People are not focusing on that vein—you will see in the comments that a lot of the readers are on roughly the right track. They see the gravity of this moment.

Europe, a social-democratic power To assert itself on the world stage, Europe first has to take pride in what it has become since 1945: a democratic, social and transnational power. European countries, which had long been fierce ri…

We’re always told people in the USA don’t want a system like this when many do. Our system was not structured in the way that can bring it about now—though we were once much closer to it. We are not THAT different than people then but capitalism reacted. thomaspiketty.wordpress.com/2026/02/03/e...

I don’t understand your point. (Sincerely—It doesn’t read that she is making a point about the platform but about the depth of the anger?)

extremely creepy but DEA is another agency where there are more corrupt, sketchy people I suspect.

found a stack of these cleaning up my studio the other day. as ever!!!

The ones that say ‘DEA’ are ‘DEA.’ Thanks NYT.

Female #kakapo Phoenix on her nest yesterday, with three eggs. We suspect they're infertile, but it's hard to tell yet as they're either very dirty or young. She's one of at least 24 female kākāpō on nests on Anchor Island, with 3 more nests found today! #kakapo2026 #conservation #parrots

Why does no one else run?

Oh wow.

That’s some scary shit. Yes, they want to wreck people’s lives! I hope they did not succeed in messing up yours. It’s very insidious.

It is such a beautiful movie, visually

Oh yeah I think I saw that? I will watch it again.

Former models for Donald Trump's agency say they violated immigration rules and worked illegally "It's like modern-day slavery."

Of course he got them to violate immigration law. www.motherjones.com/politics/201...

Trump Model Management - Wikipedia

Trump did dabble in various businesses but it does cry out for explanation why two of them were 1) a modeling agency and 2) a teen beauty pageant. These are not especially profitable ventures. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_M...

I have to re-watch it but didn’t de Laclos wrote Les Liaisons Dangereuses on a similar theme?

I remember that. I loved Jack-in-the-Box the most. I hated all other fast food but that one. I had some very early association with it, I think?

4) create complicity 5) activate resentment and frustration …Etc. Epstein uses all these tactics. I think they are ultimately very similar to con-artist tactics—‘I’ve got a great deal. You will get something for nothing. You’ve been overlooked! But we could both get in trouble.’ Etc.

Since gamergate, I have have in the back of my mind what one might call ‘fascist recruiting tactics.’ Some of these could be called 1) unlock forbidden wishes, promise to satisfy them 2) use inequality to create envy + promise share of spoils 3) create belonging by promising ‘total acceptance.’

I’ve been looking more at Austria because some figures in my recent research are from Austria...There’s SO much to know. It’s daunting and I will never know enough. It’s an intense unsettling experience for the opaque past to suddenly be revealed very differently than before.

A reason the Epstein case will not blow over now is international investigations are beginning over it. This makes it harder for US media to say ‘nothing to see here.’ Everyone with connection to Wall Street, other institutions is going to know a guy who knows a guy so they won’t be eager to dig.

Thanks!

ha they redacted "Donald Trump"

(not the Epstein Files here, just the emergency $21 million no-bid contract awarded to KBR to help build up the migrant concentration camp at Ft. Bliss in March 2025)

Police launch criminal investigation into Mandelson over Epstein scandal Peer provided convicted sex offender with sensitive UK government information while a minister, emails show

Lord Mendelson passed confidential information to Epstein giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

Business as usual. Someone is telling Epstein that a 9 year old just arrived, sexy and cute.

Did I get harassed into quitting blogging by Jeffrey fucking Epstein???

The Epstein files show Epstein making significant payments to foreign government officials through their spouses. In addition to Lord Mandelson, he also paid the wife of German defense minister Karl zu Guttenberg. And others.

Accountability for ICE and CBP However bad you think the corruption and misconduct at ICE and CBP is — the reality is far far worse.

There’s a reason Trump picked DHS and ICE to be his version of the SA. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/accountabi...
