Yet at this point, will releasing the Epstein files actually change anything? Like, what is in there that we don't already know? That the zealots won't just shrug away and excuse?
I want Senate Democrats to lower me into my grave at my funeral so they can let me down one final time.
(Y'all be careful with that joke; it's an antique!)
The centrists in the Senate Democratic caucus saw that the country was rallying to the party in the 2025 elections and resolved that they would do anything they could to kill that momentum.

Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

Just in case you were wondering why there are grown adults living in KY who think they can vote against Mamdani the NYC election

04.11.2025 23:20 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0This is absolutely a fallacy, but I think itβs an instinct-level belief for most people. We donβt want to give control over our safety to strangers unless thereβs adequate propaganda that socially-programmed that amount of trust into us. We trust flawed institutions because they have better PR.

Iβm the one driving the car, and Iβm invested in my own survival (I made it this far), ergo thatβs βsaferβ than trusting the train.
Nevermind the contrary evidence, of course.
Japan's "Mundane Halloween" costume contest is back!
Each year website DailyPortalZ holds a contest where people dress up as something super duper ordinary.
Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2025 contest!

I know this month has been rough because I'm just now realizing it's Halloween, a day that I normally anticipate for weeks.
Just no time to even think about it. No time to think about anything. Pushing through a sense of unreality.
New from me:
Elite law firms, multiple media outlets, the D.C. attorney general, and a group of parents accused a teacher of molesting 15 kids. They were wrong.
This piece is two-and-a-half years in the making. And as you'll see, it took some incredible turns, even as I was reporting it.
Pour one out for the OG bishi

20.10.2025 17:05 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0An uncomfortable truth is that a lot of religions condition their followers to be predisposed towards authoritarianism. I know that's a hard pill to swallow, but there's a reason State officials treat themselves like priests, why political conversion is conducted via church. The machinery is there.

If you stick it out long enough, someone will ask something stupid, and at least one candidate will say something bonkers

Today I placed a preorder for βI Will Kill Your Imaginary Friend For $200β through a local book store.
The owner was intrigued, so I gave them the lowdown.
They are picking up several copies in addition to my order for general sale.
Lookinβ out for you, bud <3 <3 xoxoxo
As a teen in the late 90s, and at college in the 2000s, I often heard conservatives say that "A benevolent dictatorship is better than a democracy." And I mean word-for-word, many times, different people.
Was that just a local phenomenon? Because it's why I'm not surprised by the "plenary" thing.
And just like that, "Plenary" is in the running for every dictionary's Word of the Year.
