Our message to the President is loud and clear: This Epstein investigation is not a hoax, and itβs certainly not over.
In fact, we're just getting started.

Larry Summers to resign as Harvard University professor amid Epstein fallout
Summers' connection to Epstein was long established, but emails published by House lawmakers showed the two men were closer than had been publicly known.
Sometimes the lower rungs fall first. Thatβs how power protects itself. But gravity works on everyone. The powerful who enabled or participated in Epsteinβs abuse wonβt outrun consequences forever. Corruption collapses from the bottom up. Donβt lose faith.

am unable to find a satisfactory new read in a while, so I'm leaning into reading as a critique group partner, contest judge, blurber, and editor and take a break. I've gone through 10 of everyone's favorite π and they're all falling flat. Nonfiction similarly uninspiring. I think my π§ is just tired.

This isnβt a real image of Puerto Vallarta on fire
A viral image claims to show Puerto Vallarta in flames after the killing of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel leader. While there are many legitimate reports of unrest in the city, one image of burnin...
Glad to see hysteria over "Puerto Vallarta burning" hasn't infected BSky. You should see the AI-driven BS posing as "witness" accts in Threads, tho. That app (all of Meta, iibh) is now unusable for all the fake posts, w/ppl in there buying it w/o a 2nd thought.

How Deutsche Bank rolled out the red carpet for Jeffrey Epstein

Tens of thousands of internal emails and documents released by the US Department of Justice as part of the Epstein files paint for the first time a vivid picture of how Deutsche Bank rolled out the red carpet for the serial sexual abuser,

I tolerated the SOTU for about 4 minutes. I cannot stand the liar in chief, but even more, I cannot stand all these pedo-loving cretins stroking him like the braindead orange sausage he is. Cue the clot fantasies.

Be careful what you believe about Puerto Vallarta.
Both locals/tourists are reporting calm tonight. Itβs *not* a war zone. Never was. The airport is open.
If you watch footage w/music attached to it, or images of people getting killed, or an entire city on fire, or panic in the streets, thatβs AI.
