Why so many reactions in the Epstein files?
I’ve had an insanely busy day, but I’m getting around to digging through the Epstein File release.
Lot of redactions so far.

Trump's opening words,
"11 MONTHS AGO, I INHERITED A MESS" was perhaps the biggest lie of his entire angry Miller-written speech.

Perhaps there should be a small fee for every time you post a screenshot on Bluesky of some bullshit happening on X. Like the original 10p carrier bag charge, it wouldn't be prohibitive but it would make you think, hang on, do I have to do this?

Everyone calm down, it was just a dinner. It's not like Brooks wrote an entire column saying Epstein's crimes weren't a big deal and his critics are hysterical while failing to divulge his attendance!
The NYT imperiously declined to provide details, just declaring their op-ed columnists must of course attend dinners with "noted and important business leaders". But it's not hard to find.

This is the thing that AI techbros don’t get: you can’t force people to use something they do not need or want. Trains were mass adopted as a need. Social media was mass adopted as a want (it sold human connectivity, funny that). But AI? It’s not a need or a want. This is just economics 101.

It didn't get enough attention that Susie Wiles said she had read materials protected by grand jury secrecy and other protective orders.
![Wiles told me she’d read what she calls “the Epstein file.” And, she said, “[Trump] is in the file. And we know he’s in the file. And he’s not in the file doing anything awful.” Wiles said that Trump “was on [Epstein’s] plane…he’s on the manifest. They were, you know, sort of young, single, whatever—I know it’s a passé word but sort of young, single playboys together.” (Trump started dating Melania Knauss, whom he married in 2005, sometime in 1998. Virginia Giuffre, Epstein’s most prominent accuser, who died by suicide earlier this year, first met Epstein while she was a Mar-a-Lago spa worker in 2000. Trump and Epstein reportedly had a falling out in 2004.)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo/bafkreicrr4rb4hqynyivvjewudmis2jiuzqt2gruaed3bgum7lklkpkeja@jpeg)
