Once Epstein was proclaimed dead, media outlets admitted they'd both withheld the truth about him and, in the case of NYT, hired a reporter paid by Epstein to plant glowing PR pieces about him in their paper.

Excerpts from THEY KNEW:

We're at a cat show with Anubis. He has refused to show his face unless forced to (he's somewhere in the green blanket lump) but managed to get it together long enough to get a fancy ribbon.

[waxjism @waxjism]

Anubis: "See the violence inherent in the system!"

The French judge: very fascinated by his coat colour.

In Brazil, 1,500 people were arrested the DAY OF a failed insurrection. President Lula is coming to America, likely to discuss extradition of Bolsonaro back to Brazil to face charges. Compare that to what Garland did in an entire year. CC: @ElieNYC @sarahkendzior

Run-out-the-clock strategy of DOJ, FBI, prosecutors throughout U.S., is similar to Ford's post-Watergate Nixon pardon & also like all the "settlements" w/corporations where firms admit no guilt & pay "civil" penalties that are less than profit made doing the crimes.

January 6 should be Merrick Garland Day as he's the one condemning us to a ground hog's day of attempted coups as the ones tasked with protecting us act scared of their shadows or like they're paid off in the shadows. @sarahkendzior and I discuss more here

Oops! I did again, @washingtonpost:

I created a Twitter account pretending to be @SenMarkey (with his permission) and applied for Blue “verification.”

And once again, Twitter took my $8, asked zero questions and gave the fake account a blue checkmark.

🧵 PEN America expressed dismay today over the Harvard @Kennedy_School of Government’s decision to deny a planned fellowship for former @hrw Executive Director Ken Roth, reportedly due to Roth’s criticisms of Israel’s human rights record. https://t.co/P4IExzJzSy

BREAKING: The Biden admin will now reject all Haitian, Cuban and Nicaraguan asylum seekers who cross illegally, and cap entry from those places and Venezuela at a total 30,000/month.

Biden has deported ~40,000 people to Haiti, amid humanitarian crisis, cholera and gang violence.

@LauraMiers So many folks don't know that
(a) infectiousness is very high on Day 1;
(b) symptoms generally manifest on Days 2, 3, 4; and
(c) RAT sensitivity doesn't pick up until Days 5, 6, 7, and you have to test correctly (mouth, cheeks, throat) and repeatedly.

Update: company sources tell me that yesterday Twitter eliminated ~4,400 of its ~5,500 contract employees, with cuts expected to have significant impact to content moderation and the core infrastructure services that keep the site up and running.

People inside are stunned.

In the wedding speeches the groom said 'How often do you ball melons?' and Wax & I stared at one another in horror that nobody laughed.

Expect more of this until Trump and the other violent coup plotters are indicted, not just some of the worst of their storm trooper mob. https://t.co/MHv5vYyS1A

It seems that @JamesFallows has reached a limit.

"I now believe that the national press cannot properly adapt or respond to the realities of [these] times. Its leaders seem too dug-in and defensive. It’s how they’re wired." https://t.co/96jCMUM2Ev

At work today I ordered my new work phone, as instructed by the board, only to notice AFTER putting the order in that it doesn't come with a charger and the charger we have isn't compatible 🙃
