Frankly, I’ve always pronounced his last name “booty judge” because why not.

All my homies hate homophobes.

Acosta was the US DA for Florida, where Epstein committed the crimes he was accused of, notably these were federal charges. Pam Bondi was AG of Florida starting in 2011 and could have pursued state charges against Epstein after Acosta’s sweetheart deal on the federal charges. She didn’t, and now she is Trump’s AG.

Trump’s AG during his first term was Bill Barr, whose father (former OSS [pre-CIA US intelligence] operative) was headmaster of a boarding school that Epstein worked at before becoming a billionaire sex trafficker. Bill Barr also worked at the law firm that represented Epstein when the Acosta deal happened.

Alan Dershowitz, who represented Trump in his impeachment trial, is a known associate of Epstein and has been accused of sexual abuse in connection with Epstein.

RFK Jr. flew on Epstein’s plane at least twice, his wife was associated with Ghislane Maxwell, and he attended an event at Maxwell’s home in 2014, well after it was well known that she and Epstein were partners in a child sex trafficking operation.

… By which time the kid may have been gone, or at least far enough away that he would have been hard to hit.

Or, you know, this violent, impulsive sack of shit may have had 10 extra seconds to think about what he was doing and be like “oh yeah, I don’t want to go to prison”.

Small person or huge cat?

I’ve definitely had honey-glazed porkchops before. I don’t know about the berries, but that’s more personal preference I think. Blend them into some sort of cream or dairy based sauce with some rosemary, maybe a little lemon juice, and I’m probably in.

You know, I thought I had seen enough on the internet that nothing would surprise me…

Take that, American companies that import Indian goods!

Wait, expressive activity includes expressive conduct? Who would have guessed?

The Big Dig in Boston began planning phases in 1982, and was estimated at $2.8 billion in 1985. It was scheduled to be completed in 1998, but was actually completed in 2007 at a cost of $21.5 billion. From original conception to completion, that’s 25 years and a 768% cost increase (289% adjusted for inflation).

That seems eggregious until you realize the economic impact eclipses the original costs by an order of magnitude via development of the Seaport, North Station, Cambridge Crossing, Assembly Square, Fenway, and Allston, not to mention the health impact of replacing a traffic-snarled viaduct in the heart of the city with 30 acres of parks.

As a disclaimer, I also realize that the Big Dig was almost exclusively a highway capacity project. I’m not saying that it was an ideal project in that respect. I’m also not saying that we should ignore the corruption, safety issues, and cost & time overruns, but if we can all agree that these projects are worth doing even if it’s an ugly process, maybe we get fewer overruns and the process is a little less ugly. The cynicism and pessimism that we approach mega projects with is, IMO, part of the problem.

I watched Mia Khalifa and now I’m an Islamist.

The national intelligence director said she was referring Obama administration officials, including ex-FBI director James Comey, to the Justice Department for prosecution over allegations they had “manufactured” intelligence to substantiate the idea that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help Trump beat Obama’s former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

James Comey, huh? The guy who dropped the email scandal in October 2015 and handed the election to Trump? That James Comey?

4 genders? That’s just too much.

Chinese organized crime is huge in illegal grow operations, but obviously that doesn’t make it right to point to people’s race as a determining factor in the decision to investigate “unusual” electricity usage.

Remind me to look at both of your power meters.
