The pace at which US wealth concentration is rising is simply staggering

The concentration of AI wealth into the hands of a few tech barons + plutocratic capture ==> unchartered territory

It just happens that back in 2014 I made a bunch of Winter Olympic Lolcats. Let's have a look!

The only thing more powerful than hate is love of chocolate❣️

A friend and I heard the rumor that Sylvester Stallone was on campus to visit and a few minutes later we spotted a limo near the campus convenience store. We lingered around, feeding the ducks until he and his friends came back all while his limo driver watched us suspiciously. He is SHORT!

Epstein files fallout takes down elite figures in Europe, while U.S. reckoning is muted Unlike in Europe, officials in the U.S. with ties to Epstein have largely held their positions of power.

When someone says their country executes pedophiles and you respond by claiming that they are calling for the execution of Donald Trump, you are revealing that you know Donald Trump is a pedophile.

Thank you for you attention to this matter.

Sorry, it was Willow the cat’s fault. We tried to stop her.

Okay look I'm glad they're ditching Flock but if the "city's network of surveillance cameras" can still be subpoenaed by out of state law enforcement for things like "did a woman come here to get an abortion from our state" then we shouldn't have them at all, period.

I have a stock response to any news about the Epstein files: "and?"
"This and this person are in the files talking about all their illegal activities!"
"And?"
"And they're going to face no repercussions... Oh, I get it. It doesn't matter if the rich and powerful are exposed, they're still immune."

These are storybook villains right out of Oliver Twist!

This whole thing was chronicled in an excellent book called "Provenance". I read it a while back and was utterly fascinated by the whole affair.

Hillier's major work, however, is the authorised biography of Sir John Betjeman. It took him 28 years to research and write, and was published by John Murray in three volumes (1988, 2002 and 2004). A one-volume abridgement was published in 2006 for Betjeman's centenary.

In August 2006, Wilson's biography of Sir John Betjeman was published. It was then discovered that he had been the victim of a hoax perpetrated by Betjeman's disgruntled biographer Bevis Hillier. Wilson had included in the book a letter (to Anglo-Irish writer Honor Tracy), purportedly by Betjeman, detailing a previously unknown love affair. Wilson acknowledged the letter to be a fiction when it was pointed out that it contained an acrostic spelling out an insulting message to him: "AN Wilson is a shit". 81191

Betjeman letter hoax (edit ] In August 2006 a rival biography of Betjeman was published by A. N. Wilson. It was later discovered to contain a hoax letter, purportedly by Betjeman, but actually containing an acrostic insulting Wilson. The letter had been sent to Wilson by "Eve de Harben", an anagram of "Ever been had?", and the first letters of each sentence, beginning with the second sentence, spelled out the message "A. N. Wilson is a shit." Hillier was an immediate suspect for the literary forgery: the Sunday Times article revealing the hoax was accompanied by a prominent picture of Hillier and noted that an envelope containing a letter supposedly from de Harben to the newspaper had been bought in Winchester, his home town. 5l Hillier initially denied responsibility, but soon admitted that he had written the letter. He explained that he had been angered by Wilson's negative review of the second volume of his biography of Betjeman, and by pre-publication publicity for Wilson's own biography.[6]

Everyone: NEW CASTLEVANIA, YAAAAY!!!!

Seattle Public Library intercepts Boston readers after Super Bowl bet The real winners of Super Bowl LX are the Boston readers who will now be exposed to some Seattle culture.

The Boston Public Library unwisely made a wager with the Seattle Public Library over the results of Super Bowl LX. Now, thanks to the Seahawks’ win over the New England Patriots, Boston readers are getting a dose of Seattle culture.

Epstein survivors raise their hands to signal they've been ignored by Trump's DOJ as AG Pam Bondi refuses to look at them

Hyper-misogyny, aporophobia, racism, and a touch of great replacement theory all rolled up in one package.

The fact he has an audience should scare everyone.

Impeach, arrest, and prosecute them all. Anything less is being complicit.

We all have our vices.

In just a few moments, I will vote against the so-called SAVE America Act and I am a strong no. That's because this bill would place unnecessary burdens on millions of women and eligible citizens to register to vote and make their voices heard. It is un-American & undermines our democracy.

Screenshot of an X post by Congressman Shri Thanedar stating: “Rep. Omar: ‘In Somalia they execute pedophiles.’ MAGA: ‘She's calling for them to execute President Trump!’” Below is a GIF of Bart Simpson with wide eyes and the caption “AN ODD THING TO SAY.” Under that is a post from RNC Research with a photo of Rep. Ilhan Omar and the headline: “Ilhan Omar Calls To Execute President Trump,” claiming she called for his execution in a tweet.

Screenshot of an X post by RNC Research stating: “Democrat Congresswoman Ilhan Omar called to execute President Trump last night in a deeply unsettling tweet.” Below is a screenshot of Ilhan Omar’s tweet that reads: “The leader of the Pedophile Protection Party is trying to deflect attention from his name being all over the Epstein files. At least in Somalia they execute pedophiles not elect them.” Beneath that is a Fox Business screenshot of Donald Trump in an interview setting, with a lower-third reading: “TRUMP WORKS TO BOOST PRIVATE SECTOR IN SECOND TERM.”

Even the RNC knows. Plus, it’s not what she said.

Simple fact is this:

If you’re a member of the “gender critical” movement, you’re part of a pedophile ring whether you want to be or not.

What is wrong with his eyes? They're like bottomless black pits of darkness that nio light can escape.

So the DOD started laser testing because they believed party balloons were drones, shut down all of El Paso airspace, and blamed it on Mexican cartels?
