This is cool. COURIER has created a searchable database with all 20,000 of the files just released from Epsteinâs estate.
Trump's name appears in them more than anyone else, in 1,628 documents.

You're telling me Genndy Tartakovsky has a series about a Knight who controls a giant suit of cool looking black armor and Sony won't let him release it
Idk about you guys but this looks awesome I'd watch it
ANDOR writer Dan Gilroy has released a statement critiquing the Trump administration and commenting on the parallels between the show and Disneyâs suspension of Jimmy Kimmel.
âAs one of the writers on the Disney+ drama Andor, we spent six years thinking about a fascist takeover of a galaxy far, far away. Six years thinking about ordinary beings as an authoritarian regime comes in for the kill. Many people saw parallels between Andor and the real world. I see them as well, particularly in the events of the last week.
Donald Trumpâs tools of governance, coercion and intimidation, have found focus on Hollywood. Faced with a social media firestorm, fear, and an FCC head threatening âthey can do this the easy way or hard way,â Disney suspended Jimmy Kimmel for speaking his mind. I deeply disagree but acknowledge it was a difficult decision. If you believe otherwise, wait until fate knocks on your door and demands you choose between conscience and hardship â because if you work in this industry that day is coming.
The suspension bought time, but not much. Disney now stands at a crossroads: terminate Kimmelâs contract and become pavement for the road to a brave new Trumpian world; or stand for the First Amendment and take the onslaught. Thereâs not much at stake, just free speech, the oxygen that sustains life in this town.
Trumpâs aim is to control what we make and say. The concept seems far off and abstract. Neither is true. Is it hard to conjure a new oversight office or cabinet seat? Is it difficult to picture Trump toadies deplaning at LAX with binders of banned topics and mandated alternatives? Youâll meet them when you have to pitch for approval or get grilled about subversive co-workers.
Regardless of how the jack-booted attack on Jimmy Kimmel is resolved, this isnât a skirmish. Itâs a siege. The first thing Putin did after taking power was silence shows that criticized him. Artists are censored first because they fear us most. The fact this isnât new doesnât diminish the shock of the last few days. The majority in Hollywood believed their job was entertainment â the bolder souls attempted to inject theme and commentary â but for everyone this has suddenly become Westworld real.
Whether youâre reading this on line at Blue Bottle or killing time before your 3 oâclock Zoom or staring at a glowing screen unable to sleep, we have all become characters in a story where our actions carry actual weight and consequence. Our industry faces the most sophisticated, venomous, creeping evil in Americaâs history. Thereâs no standing above this conflict. No impartial observers. If youâre on the sidelines youâve made a choice and must live with it.
Their goal is to instill fear, to make you feel helpless, hopeless, to break you down. Donât let them. Educate yourself. Organize. Speak truth to authority. Because the storyâs not written â the pen is in your hand.â

@SimMattically Objectively it was never that Mac wasn't powerful. After all Mac is the preferred computer for designers for several years. It was mainly just that it's different development systems and a lot of people didn't want to have to do Windows and Mac đ
they're literally trying to sneak a clause in the 2025 budget reconciliation bill that PREVENTS THE REGULATION OF AI FOR 10 YEARS. why isn't EVERYONE sounding the alarm about this???
@mcwexlercoded I mean I think a lot of the reason it was considered iffy in the day is how they released the episodes in stevenbombs. There were huuuuge hitauses and then there would be episodes every day. SU is best binged or without huge gaps at least.
@M00NLIGHTFAERIE Honestly the worst offenders are persuasion and northanger they have a really bad color combinations and not that good contrast also on Mansfield Park the Jane Austen part is barely readable.
