At this point, I think we're all realizing the Epstein files were never primarily about the sexual assault of minors - its about money trails. Who paid whom, and thus, who OWNS whom.

Congratulations!!

Donald Trump Snaps at Female Reporter Who Asks About Epstein Files: 'Quiet Piggy' Donald Trump Says 'Quiet Piggy' to Female Reporter Asking About Epstein Files

I don't understand why this isn't the only story and why he isn't giving his resignation.

I mean, I do. But still.

How can the president. THE PRESIDENT. Of the United States of America. The. President.

I'm sorry, nice clothes, I dont know what I did to wrong you. (Not pictured - a leather jacket with the zipper teeth pulled off.)

everyone who wants Democrats to focus on throwing immigrants and trans people under the bus needs to explain why this is not going to be the end result

admitting to statutory rape to own the libs

AOC has a better shot at 2028 than Newsom does, that prick already threw in his lot with the rightwing podcasters and the transphobes.

Reactionary centrists can whine about "purity tests," but fact is Dem contenders now must have spine & principles. Candidates without that will struggle in 2028.

Sincere or not the fact that this is being said publicly is a really good thing.

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.

An amazing show at The Forge in Brighton tonight - got the piss cheerfully taken out of me for 90 minutes by the incomparable Cally Beaton!

I live in Chicago, here are some tips for dealing with the Black and Tans: Keep whistles on you to alert the neighborhood of ICE activities. Distribute whistles if you can. Post signage where people are taken, "ICE kidnapped someone here" is a powerful message. Stand firm in crosswalks or use your vehicle to obstruct ICE movement. Invite friends and family from rural areas to enjoy your cities, show them the only violence there is caused by the federal government. Post signage to alert your neighbor of the ICE activity. Record everything they do. Ask for warrants. They won't have one, but making them admit it is important. If they are on your private property, firmly tell them to leave. Sell them nothing and don't let them use restrooms. Protests. Protest. Protest. Every delay is a life saved. Remember, people aren't being deported, they are going missing.

Oooh, a wild Angela Barnes sighting after the Cally Beaton show tonight!

What an amazing birthday treat to watch and chat with @rialina.com ! Catch her tour if you can, she's got live performances thru March!

Providence Health and Services is the largest employer in Oregon, and one of the largest networks of Healthcare providers. I sincerely hope this motivates many of their providers and caregivers to seek employment elsewhere.

I want a government that doesn’t sound like a deeply damaged, bratty boy when it communicates with citizens exercising their First Amendment rights.

Looking forward to the show tonight!

oh so those epstein files are BAD bad

Racial Resentment Among White Americans by Birth Year and Demographics This figure presents the same four-panel layout (education, gender, geography, religion) but for White Americans from birth years 1940 to 2000. Education panel: A pronounced divide shows non-college Whites with substantially higher resentment across all cohorts, increasing sharply for older birth years. College-educated Whites rise more modestly but remain distinctly lower, especially among younger cohorts. Gender panel: Male and female trendlines rise together, with women slightly higher in mid-century cohorts. Younger cohorts of both genders start lower and climb with age. Geography panel: Regional lines separate clearly: the South is highest in resentment, followed by the Midwest. The West and Northeast show lower levels, with the Northeast consistently at the bottom. All regions slope upward toward older cohorts. Religion panel: Protestants show the highest resentment, peaking among mid-century cohorts. Catholics sit in the middle. Non-affiliated Whites show the lowest resentment, especially among younger respondents, with a small rise among mid-century generations. The figure notes CES 2024 data with GAM-smoothed trendlines.

Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

Had just an incredible time seeing Sara Pascoe in Liverpool last night. Back to London with me!

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.

You can disagree and argue as much as you like but the point of evaluating something scientifically is that not every statement should be given equal credence because evidence matters

Hey, now, no need to look at me so loudly.

Judge Immergut made it clear in her ruling: the Trump administration's claims about Portland are untethered from the facts. If you look at people in frog and chicken costumes and consider that a war zone, I think you need to get your glasses checked.

YouTube video by Tasting History with Max Miller Brewing Mesopotamian Beer - 4,000 Years Old

m.youtube.com/watch?v=gK4D...

Both flavor and texture. It's unfiltered, and has a lot of barley chaff that rises to the surface, so it's best drank through a straw. Tasting History with Max Miller has about a 20 min video on the process and history of beer making.

There are a few YouTube videos of people making Babylonian beer from the Hymn of Ninkasi, and its quite fascinating! VERY different from modern beers tho.
