How did I only just discover that Don Jr is marrying the daughter of a prominent Epstein enabler?

Her late dad, a banker, wrote Epstein a reference letter calling him "a gentleman of the highest integrity" to help get him tax breaks &… his island.

Can’t make this stuff up.

The Voting Rights Act was built on an assumption by its authors (primarily Abe Fortas and Nicholas Katzenbach) that the South would only act in racist ways if allowed to and so had to be stopped from doing so at all times forever, and holy shit was that assumption dead on. -OS

One Louisiana judge has ruled in favor of the Catholic church's repeated attempts to invalidate a law which allowed long-ago abuse cases to have their day in court.

But now, that judge has had to recuse himself after revealing that he actually sits on the finance committee ...

🎯 Apologists trying to credit Orbán for conceding are intentionally missing the point. He would’ve done anything to stay in power had he thought it possible. Hungarians made it impossible. Trying & failing to destroy democracy receives no credit. He didn't stop; he was stopped.

It was an overwhelming result and impossible to fudge without risking a protest movement that would have been Euromaidan on steroids. Also don’t discount the fear of the ignominious Ceaușescu exit.

New Orleans' famous Cafe Du Monde being open since 1862 is fascinating because the city was actively being captured by Union forces and some guy said "This is a perfect time to open my coffee & beignet stand"

Remember when JD Vance and the Marines did a vanity live fire artillery show over I-5 in California and one of the rounds exploded prematurely, raining shrapnel onto the freeway? Official investigation came out and wow this could have killed someone.

[Joyce Carol Oates @JoyceCarolOates]

these bro fantasies are so funny.
usually all-male.
touchingly naive to think that the greatest writers of all time would wish to have dinner with random strangers.
even H. James & S. Johnson (who dined out virtually every evening in London) wouldn't waste an evening on you.

as for (snobbish) V. Woolf condescending to dine with you when she wouldn't have had dinner with James Joyce--- truly hilarious.
