I don't think there's any compelling reason to believe that the network of which Epstein was a central axis has ceased functioning. Or that it was the only one. Or that these networks didn't share connective tissue with one another.
I think each of these ideas is pretty clearly pointed to by the evidence we have so far.

2026-02-11 20:59:07 UTC

An Irish news outlet discovered Epstein's FedEx account was used as recently as 2024
There's activity in his bank accounts, moving money around. Emails were being sent from his accounts after his death. Even his Fortnite account is still being used.
I've said before I don't think him still being alive would be the weirdest thing in the world, but I think this illustrates something else. There are still people with access to his stuff who work on his behalf.

2026-01-27 02:55:17 UTC

the Dems deciding they couldn't possibly push back on immigration was a pretty big miscalculation even for them. To them, Trump winning by 1.5 points or whatever it was meant he had a free pass to invade blue cities for 4 years.
But despite their complete lack of morals or spine, people decided as a group this shit had to stop. And they did it with Democratic "leaders" trying to dump ice water on them the whole way

it's not illegal to tell ICE to fuck off. It's not illegal to deny them papers or entry. It's not illegal to follow them or film them.
Sure, they may whomp your ass, kidnap you or even kill you for doing any of these things (or even if you don't do these things), but they're operating totally outside the law.
The law is utterly meaningless when it comes to protecting working people, but let's not pretend these overstuffed rent-a-cops have powers they don't.

2026-01-13 19:20:10 UTC

alarming to see the press just pick up this "citizenship check" bullshit that ICE is pulling. There is no such thing as a citizenship stop.
They have no authority to do this, and adopting their phrasing only lends them credibility, which they should not have as they're flagrantly breaking the law
Adopting their frame just makes people think they're obligated to do what these pigs say, and they aren't.

People are saying "you know who nothing bad happens to, is people who stay at home and don't start trouble"
We did this already during 2020. They literally will kill you if you're at home doing nothing. They will kidnap you or flashbang your infant.

the hasbara for countering the starving kids "narrative" is "well see each of these kids had underlying health issues."
Everything else aside (and there's a boatload, up to and including "actually Anne Frank died of typhus"), *who* dismantled Gaza's health care infrastructure, raided and detonated their hospitals and killed all their doctors?
Even if your argument is it's underlying health issues, that's still a thing you did. The occupation is responsible for that.

A vehicle exists to do a job, not to placate your bizarre fixation on treating them like an extension of your dick. Why does a mail truck need to be a fucking F-450?
This is perfectly suited to safely and efficiently deliver packages in a way that's accommodating to its driver and to pedestrians, especially children

discrete: distinct
discreet: surreptitious

Autocorrect doesn't know the difference between discrete and discreet.
If I write "two discrete" is autocorrects to "two discreet." Why would I ever say "two discreet?" I might say "too discreet."

One of my personal favorite tweets ever. God I wish we could red terror some egg magnates

Related thought: the pace of tech growth isn't guaranteed to exceed or even meet that of the past 125 years or so. It might not. We certainly aren't making choices that make it all that likely. Not in this country anyway.

But since we can't talk to them, we assume the breakneck speed of technological progress of the past 125 years or so is standard. It wasn't. You can't extrapolate that backwards. Technology was fairly static for a lot of human history. At least compared to now.

If you could talk to your great great grandparents, I'd expect that their lives were pretty much identical to their great grandparents. For a long time, people were mostly just scraping around in the dirt their whole lives and not a lot changed. For thousands of years

The technology singularity is such a dipshit concept. Wow you're telling me one day technology will change our lives so much that we won't recognize what it's become? This has already happened to your parents, your grandparents and your great grandparents.

Schumer is saying USian AI now needs even MORE investment after DeepSeek. He calls it a Sputnik moment.
Ok but Sputnik was real and did real things. Satellites are real. The moon is real. This AI shit doesn't matter.

Kinda seems like the new trump plan is throw a bunch of shit at the wall and see what the supreme Court will approve

how do I downgrade back to the old outlook

2025-01-17 17:05:20 UTC

OHH COOL
You can no longer easily create duplicates of emails in the new Outlook without cutting and pasting and doing it manually
Amazing! This costs me a whole bunch of time and makes emails way harder!

My most millennial complaint is that most technology achieved perfection around 2006 or so and since then all they've done is make it worse and harder to use to squeeze more money out of us

Oh look at that, murderous intent has been proven
