At a rave once where the smoke alarm went off and since the music was techno we all thought it was part of the mix for a while.

BARI WEISS: I think it's so telling. Liberals only want to talk about the bad bunny. Whereas rational people like you and me, I think, people who can agree to disagree, we want to talk about the good bunny.

Thinking about whoever said that by accepting a meal from people and then arresting them ICE agents broke a cultural taboo that was invented by, like, the first humans to set up a tent

i had always imagined that the 1% are a bunch of dumb rich pedophiles in a group chat exchanging their pedestrian opinions to a chorus of fawning sycophants, so reading these Epstein emails is really validating in that sense

I hope this book sells a billion copies. It is designed to. Lucid. Funny. A little salacious. Like using an Eminent Victorians style biography to smuggle materialist history.

As a side note, it’s funny to see so many of these emails with thirsty academics repeatedly enact Marx’s bit in the 1844 Manuscripts about the power of money. “Oh Mr Epstein, your house in New York is enormous and, unrelatedly, your questions at dinner were so intelligent, so insightful, so deep.”
That which is for me through the medium of money - that for which I can pay (i.e., which money can buy) - that am I myself, the possessor of the money. The extent of the power of money is the extent of my power. Money's properties are my - the possessor's - properties and essential powers. Thus, what I am and am capable of is by no means determined by my individuality. I am ugly, but I can buy for myself the most beautiful of women. Therefore I am not ugly, for the effect of ugliness - its deterrent power - is nullified by money. I, according to my individual characteristics, am lame, but money furnishes me with twenty-four feet. Therefore I am not lame. I am bad, dishonest, unscrupulous, stupid; but money is honoured, and hence its possessor. Money is the supreme good, therefore its possessor is good. Money, besides, saves me the trouble of being dishonest: I am therefore presumed honest. I am brainless, but money is the real brain of all things and how then should its possessor be brainless? Besides, he can buy clever people for himself, and is he who has [In the manuscript: is. - Ed.] power over the clever not more clever than the clever? Do not I, who thanks to money am capable of all that the human heart longs for, possess all human capacities? Does not my money, therefore, transform all my incapacities into their contrary?

The DEMAND that should be on all of our lips is that the tech industry is fully turned over to us, because the industry was captured by fascists. Machines are machines. The fascists have the machines. We get the machines back. It's our only hope.
