Did Underage Girls Ruin Politics?

Tomorrow in the @nytimes.com

This isn’t even the stuff they’re trying to actually stop from getting out.

turns out the emails we should have been reading in 2016 were from the NYT

Mad libs/cards against humanity mashup

Pizzagate: If you replace the word “hot dog” with “little boy” and “pizza party” with “child sex orgy,” you will see the lengths these elites go to cover up their crimes.

Real elite emails: Send me nude pictures of those 8th graders we abused last weekend post-haste! I am the Ambassador to Turkey.

I don’t want to feel like an entrepreneur. I just want health care.

…and that’s how the janitor became President.

You know, like all those “unnecessary” air traffic controllers. Things are just great without them!

Fixing as in “fixed the dog”, sure.

The real reward was the friends we starved along the way.

You know a country by its values. By what a country values. And it turns out that what a country values can change over time. Sometimes, though, there’s a sort of cognitive delay between the country you think you are in, and the country you’ve actually become. For example, you can keep selling yourself, to foreigners, as the country of William Shakespeare and Jane Austen, and luring busloads of tourists to Stratford-upon-Avon and Bath, and put a statue of George Orwell in front of the BBC, and imagine yourself a cultured and literate nation, which the rest of the world admires for its devotion to the written word – but if you then chronically underfund your cultural institutions, and treat your cultural workers with contempt, many people will suspect you of being full of it. And as the decades pass – and fewer and fewer Shakespeares and Austens and Orwells emerge from your little island – even more people will begin to suspect that in truth you do not value culture at all, and are in fact running a giant heritage museum in which the only cultural workers you respect are the dead ones.

Great piece by Zadie Smith. When the right talks about classics or "Western" culture, these works are only important to the extent that it demonstrates their superiority, they have no interest in art in and of itself beyond that www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

Are these ideas in the room with us now?

Again with the 1939. Are we invading Poland?

They have a plan. It’s called “everybody who’s not rich dies penniless from trying to afford healthcare”. It doesn’t test well.
