“When she urged Trump to invite some of Epstein’s female victims to the Oval Office, she says, he angrily informed her that they had done nothing to merit the honor. It would be the last conversation Greene and Trump would ever have.”

more lucrative than accusing Liz Warren of nearly fucking a marine to death, I suppose
GOP operatives Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman, convicted election fraudsters, were paid $960,000 in the second quarter to secure a pardon for a former nursing-home operator who defrauded the government of $38 million. Trump pardoned the man, Joseph Schwartz, last month.
Inside the New Fast Track to a Presidential Pardon
Even some of the president’s closest advisers have been surprised by a number of the recent series of pardons.

I think one of the defining things about our era and about conservativism, is an inability to distinguish between like, the actual government, and mid-level marketing managers at Target (who choose "happy holidays" to avoid leaving out non-Christian customers)
In retrospect the Bush-era War On Christmas stuff seems more ominous than it did at the time. It was just cable news guys crying about dumb/fake shit, then and now; I mean the campaign to turn Christmas, which most everyone likes and feels warmly about, into just another thing to get mad about.

I don’t wanna sound partisan but I think it’s bad when the president keeps raging publicly about free speech and late night comedy he doesn’t like and threatening state censorship all the time, and also using language that is easily construed as calling for someone’s death

Ok. Now had a chance to check and, well, at least some docs do appear to be straight up classic redaction fail. And there are some *interesting* bits here.

I find it more than ironic that at a time when almost the entire conservative moment is trying to defend their Dear Leader's relationship with the world's most notorious child sex trafficker, their new celeb of choice is the wife of a registered sex offender.

Very good thread.
Apparently someone decided to screenshot this post, which is was premised based on how hostile social media can be. So let's talk about why the two most common responses, "just be bad and post it" and "just be bad in silence until you are good" are both inadequate.
The problem is human frailty.
The problem is human frailty.
There's a discourse that basically goes:
Alice: But I want to use AI to do art
Bob: Just do it yourself
Alice: But I am not good at it
Bob: Just be bad, and post it on the internet, it's fine!
And Bob is lying, it sucks, you will get savaged as anyone who has taken a picture of their dinner knows.
