Epstein-Botstein Legal Review Will Take At Least Two Months, Bard Board Announces, as New Calls for Botstein Resignation Surface - The Daily Catch The Bard Board of Trustees announced that the investigation into the ties between Jeffrey Epstein and Leon Botstein will take two to three months.

In lawyer-ese this translates to “We’re pretty sure that if we delay this until after graduation everyone will forget about it.” www.thedailycatch.org/articles/eps...

Superbly clear case for why Bard should demand Botstein’s resignation by the indispensable @katemanne.bsky.social

Thank you, Kate.

I don't love that the Labor Secretary's sex pest husband is an anesthesiologist.

How is it possible that Kristi Noem still has this job. Imagine if you’re a family member or a shipmate of this guardsman.

They literally dragged a minor employee out of a Target as he was wailing that he was a US citizen, roughed him up in their car, and then dropped him off bloodied and bruised in the freezing cold a couple of miles away, so miss us with this.

Fuentes then fantasizes about “breeding gulags”: “So just like Hitler imprisoned Gypsies, Jews, communists, you know, all of his political rivals, we have to do the same thing with women… They go to the breeding gulags. The good ones will be liberated. The bad ones will toil in the mines forever.”

Nick Fuentes: “The number one political enemy in America is women. … They have to be imprisoned.”

Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”

Epstein survivor Anouska De Georgiou: The fact that the very people who are meant to lead this country have completely retraumatized us… it’s—I mean—it’s like being raped by the Department of Justice.

Text of statement by Bishop Daniel Gutierrez of the diocese of Pennsylvania (the whole text is here): As you know, I am not one who issues statements based on every news item that crosses the wire. However, as a Bishop and more importantly a follower of Jesus Christ, I was repulsed and sickened by the meme that was on the President’s feed depicting two children of God who served this nation as apes. It is a sin against the Lord. This is not just politics or someone being themselves. It is an affront to Christ. Either you apologize, Mr. President, or you resign. If that doesn’t happen, Congress and Mr. Speaker, who claims to be Christian, need to do something. Death, the separation of families, and hate are not Christian. It is time for some courage on all issues. People are more important than your power or position. In the event you need some scripture to justify courage, here is a start: Genesis 1:27, Acts 10:34-35, Galatians 3:28, Deuteronomy 10:17-19, James 2:8, Revelation 7:9-10, 1 John 4:19-21, Ephesians 2:1

Really nuts how many men were like "Me Too went too far, and I need to email Jeffrey Epstein about it."

According to Gilmore, “this isn’t merely an administrative failure, but a ‘paradigmatic instance of institutional silencing.’ Institutional silencing takes the form of “managed visibility,’ in which the public sees only parts of the Epstein files but far too much about the women he preyed upon.”

Like I said, I’m just glad Chomsky found someone he loved as much as Pol Pot. I worried he might never love again.

So what I’m gathering is a pedophilic billionaire successfully worked to destigmatize race science among the academic, political, and business elite partly by sex trafficking girls. Is that the shape of it so far?

This superb essay by @benwurgaft.bsky.social makes me want to talk to everyone about the problems with utilitarianism.

I always thought you were Elizabeth McCracken. Now I know you are you.

Something worthy has emerged from social media. @duchessgoldblatt.bsky.social has given us a beautiful memoir.
