Who gets punished for the Epstein scandal?

Right now: Iran

I will not shed a single tear for the brutal regime or the mass murders in the IRGC.

But if you believe the attack is to help the suppressed populace, than I have a new cryptocurrency to sell to you.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

Brendan Carr (current FCC Chairman) spent the entire Biden administration claiming that at any moment now Biden would force TV stations to cancel interviews critical of him—and that's how we'd know fascism is here.

Last night FCC Chairman Brendan Carr forced CBS to cancel Colbert's interview of Texas Senate Candidate James Talarico—and now you know fascism is here.

Every MAGA Accusation Is A Confession.

I would just like to take this moment to deliver a massive F U to NBC for spending a huge part of the second period of the USA women's hockey game interviewing Brady Tkachuk instead of focusing on the women that deserve the attention right now.
This part.

I just did a Friday NYT crossword without hints or looking anything up.

It’s almost too bad I’m off of work today, I wonder what other impossible things I could accomplish 🤣

Let's remind everyone what a safe internet actually means. 🌐🌍

Right off the bat: I loved the #BadBunny halftime show.
Yeah, I could do without some of the over-the-top sexy shit — but let’s be real, that’s his bread and butter. I’m not excusing it, just saying: if that’s all you saw, you missed the whole damn point.

From the very first image — people cutting sugar cane — this was political as hell. Sugar cane isn’t some random aesthetic. It’s the industrial agriculture imposed by the United States after they took over Puerto Rico in 1898. That was the moment communal farming was destroyed and Puerto Ricans were forced into brutal export agriculture for U.S. profit. That history matters.

The entire performance was an homage to the island I grew up in. The neighborhoods, the sounds, the colors, the references — there’s so much nostalgia packed in there I honestly can’t even list it all. They went down the fucking list. Every Puerto Rican I know was watching this with tears in their eyes.

And maybe most important of all: he did the whole thing in Spanish. At a time when Spanish has basically been criminalized — when people are afraid to speak it in public, afraid of having the “wrong” accent, especially after years of Trump-era racism — that alone is a massive political act.

I need to rewatch it because there’s so much going on, but I wanted to put this out there now. Because I already know a lot of people aren’t going to get it at first glance.

But make no mistake: this wasn’t just a halftime show.
It was a huge cultural and political moment — and for Puerto Ricans especially, it meant a hell of a lot.

¡Pa'lante!🇵🇷✊

I am not a football fan.

I don’t particularly enjoy rap.

I watched the Bad Bunny halftime show today anyway, and I’m glad I did.

What a statement against the backdrop of current events.

The only thing stronger than hate is love.

Bravo, sir.

The caution I've finally learned from far too many times recovering my broken home lab has definitely paid off.

Ouch.

Avoided because I've made it my modus operandi to wait two weeks after release until I update any core component, and check the bugs before I do. This one would have _sucked_ to recover from, as the bugs describe.
