16·1 day agoGoldsmith’s alleged warning came around 1987, years before complaints about Epstein’s solicitation of young girls for sex began filtering into federal law enforcement.

Different cohorts are exposed to and brought up with different experiences and media. People brought up in a media landscape that’s personally produced for social media, and subject to scrutiny globally… Are more concerned with what’s socially acceptable. Is that really surprising?
This concept has been called “profilicty”, but was foreshadowed in the 70s/80s by the philosopher Guy Debord when he said:
“We’ve gone from a society of being, to knowing, to appearing to be”.
If you’re raised on videos of people who have hired luxury cars, and mansions to appear like they’ve made it, whilst others are torn down with a barrage of comments for saying the wrong thing… You too might worry about appearances (and your status).
But most young people are fine, they’re good in fact. They’re still new. Don’t worry about them. They’re just young people… And don’t believe the media.
This is a product of both participants and a behavior that can be changed pver time.
The telos of Capitalism is to produce goods for cheaper and cheaper prices, which eventually leads to poor quality and disposable “goods”.
…or at that point, “bads”.
That’s a real dickhead move Putin.
Lineage and Graphene are probably going to be the biggest things anyone can do (which often means having the right phone). Making a list of important agencies and companies you have to tell about you email address change if you have Gmail. Curating your watch history on any accounts you want to use for YouTube. Using alternative sources like peertube. Clearing cookies regularly is important.
Fred Durst from Limp Biscuit is banned from Ukraine because as soon as Putin invaded, he decided Russia would win and started begging Putin for land in Crimea. His girlfriend was Russian, and he went all-in with supporting Russia, even wrote letters to Putin. He’s an asshole.
Yep, as soon as the queen was seen actively stepping into crush good laws, it became obvious the system couldn’t be left to stand.
The days of monarchy need to die everywhere.
We know she’s stepped in to alter or block 67 Scottish laws, as King Charles has likely done since. That’s not a democracy then. That’s a Monarchy with extra steps.
Someone is going to Die Hard 4 someone else eventually. In fact, didn’t Russia knock a bunch of Ukrainian millitary communications satellites off before they invaded?

BUILD A NEW CASTLE YOU CHEAP LAZY FUCK.
Israel is majority right wing, it become so off the back of rightwing conspiracy theories about who killed former Prime Minister, Yitzak Rabin.
So technically they’re your step siblings!
AI can solve it - just kidding we all could solve it, but no government is willing.
Anyone who finds spray paint on a bank more terrifying than the Arms Manufacturing Industry is a fucking psychopath.
They should have to prove terror has been caused to a considerable part of the population.
IMO digitizing books is completely different from training an LLM on them and subsequently destroying them
I’m so sick of this style of Internet commenting. The comments premise isn’t “Google did this and so it’s fine”… The person is literally saying “Google did this and it was ALSO bad”.
The Internet has broken our brains, and the reason we don’t focus on hating the right class in society, is we’re too busy fighting amongst ourselves in the comments over which one of us has the purest definition of the bad thing on today’s corporate agenda.
“But I have a more pure definition of the worse thing they’re doing right now” isn’t the debate. “We should do something about it” should be the discussion.
I don’t like the “this shit sandwich is even worse than the last one - it’s not even comparable” is where our consciousness has been dragged by this system and we need to do better than that. Resist.
P.S Once you see the purity politics we do around having the best example/definition of todays bad thing, you’ll notice it everywhere. It’s as if we’re all trying to be the best documentarians of this Capitalist shit rather than writing our own agendas. Can we just let people agreeing the bad thing is bad alone, maybe even see them as commerades for agreeing the bad thing is bad?
I’d like to see more photo journalism on this issue.
Probably also damages you and makes you more distant from the world, yourself, and a healthy lack of awareness.
You become aware, worried, and old.
65 year old, long term drug users who get attention by being different say the darndest things don’t they?
Perhaps his next song “I jerk off horses whilst doing the Nazi salute” will be a banger.
I can’t say because other people did warn the police and nothing happened (until 2006). Hell, people were still friends and hanging out with Epstein after his 2006 arrest which was for soliciting prostitution, and came only once he was being investigated for molesting minors.
