When anyone who spent time around Jeffrey Epstein is asked about Epstein, many echo Trump and tell people to stop talking about it, and now we’re starting to find out why.| Splinter
Capitalism is a preposterously inequal system by design, where Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk and all sorts of other psychotic weirdos create nation-states more powerful than most countries on the planet, and Americans know it, even if many don’t know they know it.| Splinter
It is important to be aware that Israel had controlled Gaza’s food levels for years before the genocide began, but, clearly, the situation has drastically deteriorated over the last two years. Gaza is in such a mess that discerning the true death toll from the famine at this stage is an impossible task, but, for anyone who has seen the photos, starvation is undeniable—though plenty of pro-Israel voices are still liable to try it.| Splinter
This is real. There's no reason to think otherwise. Before he died, Jeffrey Epstein said he was "Donald Trump's closest friend," and this letter backs up that claim. The cryptic nature of things Trump wrote like "we have certain things in common, Jeffrey" and "enigmas never age" and "may every day be a wonderful secret" bracketed by a curved figure raise very serious and disturbing questions about what kind of close friend he was with a pedophile sex trafficker.| Splinter
One of the tragedies of this atomized era is that public spaces have vanished as digital walls have risen, and the age of loneliness has enveloped everyone to varying degrees. Sports in their purest form push back against these walls because anyone can join a community and be a fan of their hometown, or their adopted hometown, or even their fake team they made up with their friends that can now call themselves Hillandale ass-kickers for life. Sports are ultimately about friends and family, an...| Splinter
In Jerry Jones, I see Joe Biden refusing to honor his vow to be a bridge and not run again. I see Gerry Connolly thwarting AOC’s attempt to be the lead Democrat on the oversight committee (months before he died). Mitch McConnell’s thousand-yard stare when his brain changed the channel on him. And Trump likely dreaming of White House ballroom parties well into his 80s, despite his Michelin man ankles not being fit for dancing and a constitution not fit for dictatorial rule.| Splinter

For years and years, proposing fundamental changes to American sports inevitably drew old-man-yells-at-cloud sorts of complaints and pushback, and in some ways the sports found themselves stuck in amber, incapable of what could be fundamentally good adjustments. On a related — I swear — note, the US House of Representatives has had 435 members for more than a century.| Splinter
"There’s been a lot of debate about what is a bad deal, what is a good deal. But if you look objectively at it, it can’t be termed as anything other than, at least, a political capitulation. Last summer, when Trump was campaigning, he was basically stating that he wanted tariffs. As we see now, he was pretty much on the mark of what he promised his supporters."| Splinter
Liberalism’s public intellectuals have failed miserably this century, and this article is a great example of how. They are overgrown debate club kids who don’t know how to function in the real world, fundamentally do not understand how studies show logic is not the best weapon to counteract propaganda, and they see everything in politics through the lens of their glory years in high school standing in front of a podium performing for a group of judges.| Splinter
According to US District Judge Kathleen Williams, the site, now the subject of numerous complaints and descriptions of what pretty clearly amounts to torture of the people sent there, did not adequately address its potential environmental harms to the Everglades ecosystem and the people who rely on it.| Splinter
Respecting the dead is a luxury a civil society can afford, and thanks to James Dobson’s lifetime of work against it, we do not have one, and therefore I simply do not have the ability to pretend that his time on earth was anything other than a nonstop march to create the hell that presently surrounds us.| Splinter
There is something comforting to the idea that even within our own little solar system, through which we have sent probes and rovers and other astonishing bits of space tech, there remains a hefty degree of mystery. It is also comforting, though, that our collective ability to penetrate more of those mysteries continues to improve.| Splinter
Unilateral disarmament is not an option in Trump's America, and the only way this nation will be saved from fascism is if a new generation of Democrats pick up the constitutional tools at our disposal to aggressively build the country we say we are. The path the folders want to take us on is no different from Trump’s, even Gavin Newsom can see this, and according to his pollster, so do most California voters.| Splinter
Voting with their wallets, Salvadorans have largely disagreed. Almost nine in ten people have not made any bitcoin transactions throughout 2023, according to polls. They still prefer cash. For roughly two-thirds of Salvadorans, the reason they don’t have a bank is simply because they don’t have enough money to build savings.| Splinter
