YouTube video by Rebecca Watson (Skepchick) So I'm in the Epstein Files

A little filler on Krauss from a leading skeptic:

The billionaires' eugenics project: how Epstein infiltrated Harvard, muzzled the humanities and preached master-race science Edge - Jeffrey Epstein's favourite intellectual salon - was sold to me as a gathering of the world's finest minds, writes Virginia Heffernan. The files reveal it was something far darker: a decades-lo...

NEW: Read this terrific piece @virginiaheffernan.bsky.social for @thenerve.news in which she unpicks Edge.org, the hugely influential 'salon' funded by Epstein & threaded through with race science & eugenics.

I bonded with Virginia a few years back over a mutual fascination with Edge.org. I recognised its influence years ago, even pitched a piece on it...but I did not seethe ideology beneath the 'science' Epstein/Brockman promoted which @virginiaheffernan.bsky.social lays bare

Decoding an Unknown Survivor's Journal - Part 3 Trigger Warning: discussion of sexual abuse of a minor and child loss

ellieleonard.substack.com/p/decoding-a...

Just curious if Epstein really did need a nanny. Sarah Ferguson mentioned that Epstein had a baby boy. And that girl’s diary about pregnancies from the Zorro ranch horror show

why is it taboo to ask about vaccine effectiveness? first bc we already know the answer, second bc there are morons who will buy into your bull shit and trigger a measles outbreak

“misogyny often precedes broader authoritarian moves because it acclimates societies to hierarchy, obedience, and the normalization of domination (Miller-Idriss, 2023)”. This whole article. Wow

Excellent article, “activates dominance psychology, licenses aggression, and enforces submission”

The simplest explanation I ever heard was from a reformed Republican who said, "They just want to tell everybody else what to do without being told what to do themselves."

Never underestimate the explanation that references their lack of cognitive and moral development.

Government of the Epstein Class, by the Epstein Class, and for the Epstein Class

Government of the Epstein Class, by the Epstein Class, and for the Epstein Class

I think this would be a very effective slogan!

Government of the Epstein Class, by the Epstein Class, and for the Epstein Class

Now that we can finally see and name the problem, we can stop this, America!

Thank you, Carole. I grew up with a misogynistic father who could not walk by a woman (not girl, fortunately) without commenting on her physical appearance and making sexually degrading comments and jokes. Every time. A rough week to see how it is baked into our culture, at the highest levels

Ha! Teaching my 3rd grader multiplication and he’s done 2,3,4,5,6,10,11,12. I can’t work up the energy to teach 7… harder to see patterns, more memorization

And why would Mark be redacted? Why would he be protected from consequences?

"you are so bad"....and "smile more"....

....is what Trump would say to an Epstein survivor

I know I’ve had a great job then suddenly a nightmare new boss. And I wanted to hold on because maybe it will get better? And I didn’t want to abandon my customers and colleagues.

I read “survival of the richest: escape fantasies of the tech billionaires” and yeah, they would rather destroy everything and live in their bunkers than create a more equitable and democratic world

Michael Wolff and Michael Cohen are playing both sides. Con artists to their core

Unfortunately, misogyny is pretty common in Latino men and that’s a core feature of MAGA

Using their work emails!

It’s like when families flip-flop from alcoholics to teetotalers the next generation

Family annihilator mentality

That’s my point, really.

The public did not know about Trump’s plans because they did not want to know them.

They wanted to believe the election was a game, and that Trump’s promises to burn everything down would not hurt them.

Reporters decided their job was to humor that plurality delusion.

Even Russia tries to legitimize its Ukraine invasion! Seems that US policy is now “might makes right”

im no six figure political consultant but “we are the party that wont let strangers make non-consensual nude pics of you and then put them on the internet for everyone to see” would appeal to moderate voters imo

"Christian persecution" = "Other people not subscribing to my faith"

I think many are seeing what’s going on, but I worry about that deep evangelical MAGA core

I wish I could believe that. I know evangelicals who believe in “spiritual warfare” and do not want to see reality, that they are being manipulated
