You just answered your own question!

"The mainstream media is constantly trying to find ways to cater to an imagined centrist reader—and constantly trying to find ways to bring in right wing readers who they’ve lost to the conservative media bubble. Epstein is the rare story which allows them to do that while vociferously criticizing Trump."

"The Epstein Files are a case study in what happens when a society loses the will to tell the truth, or worse, when people decide the truth doesn’t matter unless it benefits their side.

We are living in a moment where truth feels optional for the powerful. Where conspiracy outshouts clarity. Where myth-making overwhelms moral imagination. The Epstein files aren’t just a scandal; they’re a warning."

"Increasingly, for many in MAGA, the move to overturn the 19th Amendment poses an existential question. Prominent voices in the white Christian nationalist movement—one now deeply enmeshed with MAGA—view the repeal of women’s right to vote as more than about winning an election. It is a means to return to Biblical principles and a necessary step toward creating a theocracy in the United States."

I would be really hilarious if you just ended the thread right here.

“Gender diverse?? More like gender dichorus!”

@mattly That is a barista with •issues•

@airwhale

Such a fantastic track on a fantastic album

(rant) There's an awful lot of press wording about "underage women", rather than calling a spade for a spade. They're "teenage girls/teenage children" these creeps were abusing. Not "underage women". (rant off)

Nobody should be ashamed of their fruiting body

@stevenaleach @futurebird
I’m really torn on which one of our photos should be the boobs and which one should be the butt

@inlaing @stevenaleach @futurebird
I rate these “GAH!!!!” on a scale of 1 to 5

@grimalkina
This is the way.

@silvermoon82 @stevenaleach OK, this one wins

@spew Just follow the barista’s lead

@stevenaleach @silvermoon82
What have I done

@futurebird @stevenaleach Here, I can help with the raw material

@ramsey @ljrk
I believe the operating principle here is

(1) you are always entitle to your “yuck”

(2) don’t “yuck” somebody else’s “yum”

@schwa Solid choice.

A doppio is pretty much the standard for all espresso drinks except •maybe• a fancy unadorned shot. And a doppio is still similar to or slightly less than the caffeine of a single cup of brewed coffee in most cases. So arguably doppio •is• the “normal” amount.
