Let's all be clear that QAnon never cared about child sex abuse, the whole thing was always an excuse to demonize their enemies and share titillating (to them) images of the sexual abuse of children.
The only time I have EVER encountered explicit child porn online was on a QAnon Telegram channel

This table topped with coffee beans was in the green room at MSNBC for at least 15 years, back to when Morning Joe was sponsored by Starbucks. The beans were fuzzy in places and had lost their smell.
Today was MSNBC’s last day at 30 Rock, and I guess the beans aren’t making the move.

Ugh.“Epstein’s donations to scientific researchers were unlikely to have exceeded a few tens of millions of $, Science mag estimated in 2019. Epstein told the magazine in 2017 that he favored ‘rebel’ scientists & criticized institutions such as the MacArthur Foundation as too ‘politically correct.’”
“‘The Epstein affair brings to light a much larger problem,’ [Naomi] Oreskes wrote [in 2020]. ‘It undermines the integrity of the research enterprise when individuals can pick and choose lines of inquiry that appeal to them simply because they can pay for them.’”

one of the funnier bits about moving from a blue state to a red state is that red states still need money to run things and will often just collect it via fees instead
so you pay less in taxes but everything else is more expensive and you don’t actually come out much better
