Where I'm at right now on the "is EYES WIDE SHUT about Jeffrey Epstein?" question is that I'm no longer sure if the movie even makes sense if it is not about him

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.
Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

We got the concert we needed at First Ave this afternoon.
Bruce Springsteen and Tom Morello Rouse Anti-Fascist Fervor at First Ave - Racket
Fists were pumped, tears were cried, and "fuck" was shouted at the anti-ICE rally we all needed.

This is a very good observation. And, all of those women had unique ways of being funny.
A thing about certain funny women like Catherine O’Hara—I think also and especially of Eileen Brennan and Madeline Kahn—is that it’s hard often to describe why or even how they’re funny. They just are.

Can’t stop thinking about how a month ago Renee Good and Alex Pretti would have been dumbfounded if you’d told them they were about to become tragic heroes of a Springsteen song. What a long month
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

I want to see people calling emergency meetings at Congress.
I want to see members of Congress arriving at Congress in their Sunday casuals actually doing something.

By Saturday afternoon, some Trump admin. personnel had already begun scouring the internet and other resources trying to find information on Alex Pretti, including social media posts, that could tie him to what Team Trump call “extremists,” two sources familiar with the matter tell @zeteo.com …

Inasmuch as every strain of trumpism is a reflection of the man himself, worth remembering that he is a compulsive, insatiable rapist. His happiest years were spent competitively acquiring and assaulting underage and unwilling women; transgressive domination is the only thing that gratifies him
the strangest thing about trumpism as an ideology, in all its strains, is its total rejection of any theory of legitimacy
