Killing little girls is one way to distract people from the Epstein Files, I guess.

The MAGA crowd are filled with rage, which is why they will remain a serious problem for American society and the world long after their leader is mouldering in his golden grave.

Recchi was a very good player but this trade was a disaster: a top forward and an all star caliber defenceman went the other way - guys who should have been at the heart of the team’s core for another decade.

The Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter (Visualizer)

For the last entry in the series I though I would roll with my favourite song, which I probably listen to at least weekly some 35+ years after I first heard it. Still powerful. The riff. The musicianship. Merry Clayton’s vocal. Incredible. Number 1000c of #1000Songs youtube.com/watch?v=COqF...

The worst villain in the US men’s team story is Bill Guerin. He’s GM of the Minnesota Wild for crying out loud but there he is acting as a stooge for the man who has laid siege to the city in which his team plays. He’s a full on collabo.

About the best thing you can say is that the US Olympic Men’s Hockey Team are a bunch of brainless privileged white idiots who’ve been duped into being used as political props. The alternative, that they are enthusiastic supporters of fascism, is much worse. Likely it’s some combination of the two.

The attempts to normalize this fascist lunatic will apparently never stop. As he unleashes civil war they’ll still be doing this.

This is an interesting mash up. The video seems to be just about entirely AI generated.

So my takeaway from the disclosures so far from the Epstein files is that there is a cabal of ultra wealthy perverts and pedophiles who are above the law and act with impunity, and that the Venn diagram of these people and people bribing Donald Trump is nearly a perfect circle.

That’s a zero for me. I don’t really like tofu, Brussels sprouts or eggplant, but I will eat them when served them. And if prepared the right way, generally speaking drenched with some sauce that makes them not taste like themselves, they can be fine.
