More than five decades as a Type 1 diabetic. Always trying to become a better person.
I had fully expected the GOP (Guardians Of Pedophiles) to lie, hide information, and implicate presumably innocent people in regard to Jeffrey Epstein.
I didn’t expect the lies to be so clumsy or so quickly discovered.

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Does the Washington Post have factual content again?
I quit it “cold turkey” when Jeff Bezos made the whole thing his personal Op-Ed section.
I followed the content creators I care about instead of staying with the WP.
I’ve recently seen people I respect cite the WP again like it had news.

Peter Sagan summed it up nicely.
This needs more attention.
Every voter and 90% of the non-voters in the United States really needs to know how close Epstein and Trump are, and what they did for years to children.
This was an “open secret” at the Miss Universe and Miss Teen USA pageants.

Reposting this as it seems to be the kind of damning, documented narrative of Trump’s close relationship with Epstein that so many have clamored for, and I’m not sure why it’s not getting attention. Gift link.

I’m rarely one to “shill” for products but Apple TV is selling the movie “Hidden Figures” for less than $5 USD today.
If you don’t know the story and have even marginal interest in science or technology, go buy it now. You can thank me later!

I’m getting very frustrated with health insurance and the people who process it.
If you aren’t close enough to touch me or my family and have earned the letters MD after your name, then I find your opinion about healthcare practice amusing but not especially useful or meaningful.

This attack in Bondi Beach, Australia is a barbaric hate crime. The crime should not be the focus of attention, but the hunt for the criminals should be recognized and celebrated.
Hunt down these criminals. Give them due process. If found guilty, no mercy.

Go @CathrineW.net go!
You’re more polite than I am, but this is a nice, succinct way of expressing how I also feel about the “AI gang pile” where AI gets automagically thrown where I do NOT want it!
I use AI, and not just LLMs. I just want control to use them on my terms.

This is pure idle curiosity, but can anyone explain how the UTC offset in sys.time_zone_info was developed?
This level of twist seriously impressed me! Rube Goldberg would approve and Machiavelli would drool.

I agree that illegal immigrants should “get legal“, but using forms and processes not bullets and chains.
ICE has been taken over by masked thugs. If you are afraid to be identified, then you are a criminal, not an officer!

DNS is by definition both ancient and extremely janky at its very best.
When DNS works, it is “magical plumbing” that “just works”. When DNS doesn’t work, it is evil spawn of Machiavelli with arcane and sinister settings.
Just ask CloudFlare… or AWS… or Microsoft about fun with DNS.

If I subscribe to Anthropic Claude directly from Anthropic can I access one account and ALL its conversations and features from multiple platforms?
Specifically Mac, Windows, Linux, Android, and Apple (iOS on iPhone and iPad).
It seems like this ought to be simple but I’m wary of assuming it.

Does anyone know how closely Jeffrey Epstein was supervising Donald Trump during the Alaskan meeting with Vladimir Putin?
I’m pretty sure that Epstein demanded that Trump do something but I’m not clear what he wanted this time.

I wonder why Trump hasn’t claimed that Obama was listed in the Jeffrey Epstein files.
Oh wait. Never mind.
Then he would need to release the Epstein files. It doesn’t seem like Mr. Trump wants people to read those files.
Not even (maybe especially not) the MAGA supporters!

The most amazing thing to me about everything @jennifertaub.com knows is that even THAT is not enough to distract people from Jeffrey Epstein and his connections with Donald Trump!

This is comparing apples and rollerblades. I can’t support “white folks” or LGBTQIA+ people the same way I support Colbert. He is a person, not a class!

I think the WSJ has checked this carefully and they seem willing to bet the farm on it.
A few years ago WSJ got sketchy with reality like this Administration has since January. I dropped my subscription because I didn’t trust them.
Maybe the WSJ are returning to responsible journalism.
