The idea of an "Epstein list" is kinda stupid when the victims can literally tell us "here is what happened and who did it."
Nobody on their deathbed ever said, "I wish I'd been less grateful."

I wrote about this recently, it may be of interest. thenewcuriosityshop.substack.com/p/passage-of...
One can get paid so much more as an ai ethicist than as like... a social worker
My wristwatch, which possesses an uncanny sense of time, should not have to work night and day.
Invading U.S. cities that say our dicks are not big.
I like the way the guy's legs are starting to float off the couch.
"Disrupt back scratching!" is an epic mission statement.
"That's not who we are" is always a troubling line. Much of the time it turns out that is who many of us are. Right now, yeah, a lot of Americans do wear this helmet, and they're digging it. It's messed up, but here we are.
A decade ago, the Heritage Foundation went full meltdown about how Obama was an imperial president when he had issued about the same number of executive orders -- though he had reached it after six years, not six months.

thedemocraticcoalition Can we please just be two countries? They can have the guns, the idiot dictator, and the Ten Commandments in schools. We'll take the immigrants, the vaccines, freedom of speech and religion, and diversity.
Please don't.

RFK's testimony suggests that you can get a bunch of X posts in a spoon, cook them down, and inject it before appearing before Congress.
And another 40 U.S.-based researchers are poached by foreign research institutions.
They couldn't find a photo of David Byrne from this millennium, eh?
I don't know how they can afford it, but the mannequins in Italy are the best dressed in the world.
It's not bad, but she has an annoying habit of always being right. And, she never left, she was fired. She says it was because she needed the medical coverage, maybe so, but other jobs have that too.
I hope that each woman brings a photo of their teenage selves.
His dying words will be, "Nobody's done this before."
"That's just a fact" is the perfect ending.
Trump today claimed that since he's been president we've received $17 trillion in foreign investment, thanks to tariffs. OK, so we no longer pay a lot of attention to his lies. But really. More than half of the entire U.S. gross domestic product in 2024? Equal to almost all of China's GDP? Jesus.

He was in a hurry.
Sharks are older than Saturn's rings, the north star, and trees.
Will all the other presidents attend? Will they be wearing party hats and garlic?
The place is full of unregulated sandwiches.
Very good. Yet also notable how little things have changed, how stuck we are. We dress the way we did in 1980, jeans & khakis, don't think it's odd to hear a 1971 song in the cafe, have a president describing cities they're in 1978. It's painfully insistent, while the world changed so much.

I, and about 200 other people that day, got married there. The atrium is exceptional.

Kind of how Gary Gillmore negotiated a firing squad over electrocution.
Likewise.

It's Saturday. The regular hand guy is on his boat.
Sounds like a crime to me.
MAHA wasn’t a response to COVID and any journalist who doesn’t understand that it *exploited COVID* intentionally, deliberately from day one should pack it in bc they’re a dupe. Cover people who want to improve nutrition if that’s what you want to talk about. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m...

I mean, come ON
Apparently scared off because they were told it was a Chinese cultural practice. I've seen it in some parts of Asia. No one there has any illusions about what it is.
It's almost the point. They're starting with someone they think the left won't defend.
I bet John Bolton wishes he had testified at Trump's Ukraine extortion impeachment trial now huh?
“Any good prosecutor can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich.” - Sol Wachtler, Chief Justice of NY Supreme Court, well before his own legal difficulties.
this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like
Guess my submission was denied.
Actually I swore an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States with my hand on @bpl.boston.gov’s 1782 edition Aitken Bible—also known as the Bible of the Revolution.

Same day that the President says slavery wasn't all that bad.

Not all heroes write puns.
Went ahead and updated my map of cities with higher crime than D.C. to accommodate the two new states from the Deep South who are sending troops to the capital. In the five states there are 64 cities, home to 1.7 million people, that had more crime in 2024 than D.C. www.pbump.net/o/more-peopl...
I works better if you think he instructed to software to choose its own plagiarism, and it chose George R.R. Martin.

Wait til he finds about all those West Point graduates in 1861.
"So I told my LLM it was dealer's choice plagiarism" would have been a much better line.

They've basically concluded that the only way to deal with him is to stand by and suck up. That's why the head of NATO told him what a player he is.

President Trump said he would work to get rid of mail-in ballots and sign an executive order “to help bring HONESTY to the 2026 Midterm Elections.” The Constitution makes it unlikely he can change voting rules unilaterally.
They don't keep real press in the room anymore.
BREAKING: Conservative network Newsmax agreed to pay $67 million in the defamation case over bogus 2020 election claims.

Mice sauce? Gross.
Once there was an AI that liked owls. It dealt random numbers to another AI, which also started liking owls. We do the same sort of thing, but that doesn't make it less weird. thenewcuriosityshop.substack.com/p/ai-i-tmi
Russia's Foreign Minister arrived wearing a sweatshirt that said CCCP. The Russian version of USSR, controlling Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Belarus, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova, & Ukraine. It's still unclear they know how much America was disrespected.
According to Loomer via the NYT, Rubio took this call from her last night — right after he accompanied Trump to the summit with Putin.
NEW: Wearing masks, no ID, unmarked & blacked out cars, refusing to say what agency they’re from and using profanity with any press & public nearby. This was at 14th & R in Washington DC, this morning (Sunday). What the hell is happening to the US? (🎥 Dan Rosenzweig-Ziff, Washington Post)

Likewise late, but I was shocked to hear "Wang Dang Doodle," a song Howlin' Wolf always regretted singing, since he felt it was like doing blackface.

My wife, a known English person, says it's strictly a regional thing, Yorkshire or Durham, Andy Capp country
More than 30 years as a US diplomat, ultimately Ambassador, served under R&D Administrations- nothing in my experience can remotely compare to this humiliation of our country.
Only if Grant had some soldiers roll out a red carpet for Lee.
"I alone will decide the facts."
Not to mention, having U.S. military personnel on their knees rolling out a red carpet for Putin, an international war criminal, while he applauds. Impressive MAGA optics there.

If Trump ever gets a statue, use this and include Vlad.
Corrections Corporation of America - the sign does double duty during times of mass arrest.
Weird - nothing about U.S. service people kneeling as they rolled out a red carpet for Putin, and our president applauded. Must have been one of those unscripted things.
earth science at NASA includes improving hurricane and wildfire prediction, just so you know
The sandwich guy accomplished more in Washington than Trump did in Alaska.
US army rolling the red carpet to murderer’s plane. I will never forget this image.
I could pick 20 things today and not be close to your weirdest thing.
Meeting with Putin ends several hours early, no details on any agreement. Guess our president will have to award himself a Peace Prize, maybe have another big parade.
