Epstein Survivor Lisa Phillips: Everyone makes it about Trump and Epstein, but it’s about this whole ring of men. That’s what makes me upset, because we know they were there. We saw them. We know there were royalty, princes, very powerful people in academia and tech, and we saw them at parties.

Bless and protect this woman. Her life would have been in danger even if she had remained silent, so she may as well speak the truth.

I'm going to say what many are embarrassed to admit--providing masks is one of the kindest and considerate things an organization can do because many people genuinely cannot afford a box of masks.
Disability related conferences (or ANY conference) can easily do this, rather than coming up with so many excuses

Buy 1-2 boxes of masks for those who don’t have masks or forgot, or didn’t know, etc

Conferences that don’t try have shown what they REALLY think about disabled / immunocompromised ppl
Insane how good Maurice LaMarche's Vincent Price and Orson Wells impressions are, when ever I hear the actual actors my first though is always "is that Maurice LaMarche?"

America is being run by people whose social media presence would see them getting fired from a part time job stacking shelves.
If you worked at Aldi and posted a video of you pouring shit all over Aldi customers, you wouldn't work at Aldi.

Oh it’s not appropriate for your program to air the president wearing a crown and shitting on American citizens?

You’ll talk about it in euphemisms? Maybe call it the “crown video” and ignore the shitting part? Because that’s appropriate?

Tell me, was it appropriate for the president to do it?

If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence.

If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.

A fun fact a lot of people don't know is venues take between 15 and 25 percent of merch revenue for the night, and do not offer anything in return. It's not paying for anything, just another hand in the artist's pocket

At his kids’ school, a woman (here legally) was ripped out of her car by ICE in the *school drop off line* last week for the crime of being brown. The school had to have a town hall about it. His wife teared up just talking about it. People are being traumatized and they are also fucking pissed.

If you *have* to ship from Japan, it's best to use a shipping method that is direct and does not involve other shipping carriers. For now, that is DHL, but you will still have to pay tariffs, but at least you only pay it once pre-paid through the proxy service.

At worst, it gets destroyed if the original seller does not pay the tariff/brokerage fees when its returned. You are then not eligible for a refund. In some cases, you also might be charged for return shipping

Also, not paying these fees can impact your credit score

UPS & FedEX are private shipping companies so they tack on these extra fees because they are the final broker delivery. This wasn't an issue before with de minimus in place, but since it's gone, these greedy companies want a slice of the profit.
Don't pay? At best, your package gets returned (cont)

YOU DO NOT GET TO CHOOSE which company it gets handed off too,
If it goes to USPS: you most likely will not get additional charges/tariffs
If it goes to UPS: you WILL get charged additional brokerage fees and also "govt fees"
If it goes to FedEx, You will very likely get charged as well.

PSA FOR MY USA BUDDIES WHO BUY JP GOODS: A THREAD

Be VERY careful which shipping method you use for your proxy goods.
If you use ECMS, proxy companies will charge you the tariff, HOWEVER, once it gets in the US, it gets handed off to 1 of 3 shipping companies for the final delivery (cont)
