"Putting all of this together, I believe the artist who placed this stenciled statement on an abandoned gas station five miles from Zorro Ranch — blood-soaked chain gang workers with shovels, one of them staring directly at Kroenke's land — is someone who has connected the dots between Epstein's sex trafficking network, the billionaires who protected and enabled it, and the same class of men who drill, extract, accumulate, and own without limit or consequence. Pedophilia, rape, oil, climate destruction, private prisons, oligarchs — it is all connected, this artist seems to be saying, even here, in this windswept and mostly empty place outside tiny Stanley, New Mexico. The blood of the poor and forgotten runs under all of it."

"Federal agents raiding the home of two alleged antifa “operatives” seized a telling piece of evidence, a defense attorney said during closing arguments in a landmark trial Wednesday. "A printing press. "That printing press was never presented to jurors. Still, the government has kept it locked away because it hated the pamphlets and zines it published, lawyer Blake Burns said." https://theintercept.com/2026/03/12/antifa-ice-protest-texas-trial-terrorism/

"The fear — a completely reasonable one — is that this lawless administration, led by a madman, would manufacture some national emergency declaration to wiggle through one of those gaps and put armed federal forces at the polls before the 2026 midterms.

"What New Mexico did is close that gap at the state level. By making this conduct a state felony regardless of the shenanigans Trump’s legal team dreams up to justify it, enforcement now belongs to state and local prosecutors who answer to New Mexicans, not to the pedo protector club Washington. And because committing a federal crime cannot legally be part of a federal officer’s official duties, those officers would have no federal preemption shield against state criminal charges (Brennan Center for Justice). In other words: we have claws now that don’t depend on Trump’s DOJ deciding to use them."

"The 24 mice involved in this study launched to the ISS in March 2023. The crew used the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s MARS centrifuge system to expose the rodents to 0.33 g, 0.67 g, and 1 g conditions for up to 28 days. In April 2023, 23 of the mice returned to Earth alive, and the researchers dissected them to look for changes to their grip strength and signs of atrophy.

"This revealed that even a low gravity level of 0.33 g was enough to stop their muscles from deteriorating completely, although the rodents’ muscle fibers did change in composition. At 0.67 g, the mice showed no muscle deterioration, loss of strength, or fiber changes.

"While these results may not directly transfer to humans, they are a warning sign that gravity levels on the Moon and Mars likely aren’t sufficient for preventing atrophy in astronauts over extended periods of time, as they are well below the 0.67g threshold. Specifically, gravity on the Moon is roughly 0.17 g and 0.38 g on Mars."

"The reason RAM prices went up 4x is that a massive amount of not-yet-manufactured memory was bought with money that doesn't really exist to be put into GPUs that haven't been made yet, to be installed in data centers that haven't been built, powered by infrastructure that may never exist, to satisfy demand that isn't actually there, in order to generate profits that are mathematically impossible"

"The next fuckwit in the [epstein] files who I met was Brett Ratner, also because of that novel of mine. He reached out to me because someone told him about bestselling “sexy” books that were available. My book was not sexy. It had an ironic title that SOUNDED sexy, but wasn’t. The book was a parody. But whatever. My agent told me a famous director/producer wanted to talk to me about the book and so I took the call.

He was weird as fuck, too. Talked over me. Told me what the film needed to be. His ideas were insane and stupid. Very racist, very sexist.

“Dude,” I remember saying. “Did you even read the book?”

He did not like being spoken to like that.

“When you’re as famous as me, you don’t have to read the book,” he said. “You have people read it for you. And a book like yours? I don’t need to read it to get the gist of it.”

“Except you didn’t,” I said. “You did not get the gist of it. You just proposed something extremely insulting and stupid to me.”

"I want to extend a hand to survivors and say: I’m one too. And healing is possible. My DBT program was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, harder than graduate school. It’s not talk therapy. It’s a disciplined, skills-based retraining of how your brain interprets the world. I started and stopped once before finally committing and finishing. The full program took about 18 months. At the end of it, I was reassessed and found no longer to meet the diagnostic criteria for cPTSD. That was a remarkable change, one I once would have thought impossible. DBT isn’t the only path to trauma recovery. There are many therapies designed to help rewire trauma responses and restore safety in the nervous system. Here are some of the major ones:" https://alisav.substack.com/p/why-im-not-writing-the-good-men-series

"In what may go down as one of the most expensive economic lessons in modern American history, a federal trade court judge has ordered the government to begin refunding more than $130 billion in tariffs that were declared unlawful by the Supreme Court last month.

"You read that correctly. The same tariffs that were endlessly promoted as brilliant economic policy, the ones that were supposedly making other countries “pay,” must now be paid back by the United States government to American companies. So much for free money."

"Most of us do not have dark triad traits, and this makes it difficult to comprehend and accept that those who DO exhibit them are irredeemable.[…]

"The Epstein Files and the Architecture of Impunity

"[…] why are we seeing so many of them [Dark Triad psychopaths] now, compared to the past? The answer is disturbing. In the past, dark triad personalities in power tended to HIDE their depravities because they knew there would be consequences if they came to light. But we are living through a moment in which such monsters have consolidated power at the top of nearly ever institution in the United States that might hold them accountable, and when that happens, such people actually take pleasure in displaying the full spectrum of their depravity to the public, because it traumatizes us. They like that. […]"

#TheEpsteinClass and #ZorroRanch in #NewMexico

"Jeffrey Epstein bought the ranch in 1993 from three-time former New Mexico governor Bruce King. The property was willed to Epstein’s last girlfriend, Karyna Shuliak, his primary beneficiary. It was sold in 2023 to a shell LLC created one month before the purchase. The shell company was structured to maintain the anonymity of the buyers, but Bates’ diligent reporting identified them as Don and Mary Huffines, of Dallas, Texas.

"Donald Trump is Deeply Connected to the New Owners of Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch

"Don Huffines is a billionaire, a former Texas state senator, and a loudly MAGA republican with close ties to Donald Trump. He is currently running to be comptroller for the state of Texas. His campaign centers on White Christian Nationalist rhetoric.

"Russell Huffines is an executive in Trump’s cabinet, as Associate Director of Agency Outreach in the White House Office of Cabinet Affairs."

More about "the Epstein Class"

"I have long seen my job as a writer and storyteller to be a form of resistance to the racism, sexism, xenophobic and classism of modern American society. And it has been people like Peggy, again and again, who ultimately stepped into make sure my voice, my brand of challenge to the status quo, never made it to the screen. They wanted the money they thought the project would make based on book sales, but they required that I compromise in ways that perpetuated dangerous stereotypes of Latinas if I wanted to play ball in Hollywood. I refused, over and over again.

"I always kind of suspected the Peggys of the entertainment industry were racist, sexist, child-fucking assholes. And her emails to Jeffrey Epstein, demonstrating the breadth of her connections in the world of money, power and, most importantly, STORYTELLING, confirmed for me that the roadblocks I’ve met along the way were inevitable."

"Document EFTA00172828 in the most recently released Epstein Files strongly suggests the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), under Trump’s first administration, was covering up at least two cases of missing and murdered girls from Ohio who had been sexually trafficked in a local ring with likely ties to Epstein.

"In a certified letter to the FBI dated January 22, 2020, a forensic intelligence analyst, paralegal and private investigator named Angela Clemente invoked the Freedom of Information Act and the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Act to request all Epstein files in the bureau’s possession that might provide a link between Epstein and an Ohio sex-trafficking ring.

"The Miami Herald in May 2020 reported the FBI had refused Clemente’s request nine days after she filed it. Clemente sued. In September 2020, the Herald reported a judge had kept the case alive but Clemente was unlikely to win…"

"No one likes being recorded by Meta’s Ray-Bans smart glasses, which have gotten increasingly popular in the last year or so. Now the wearers know how everyone else feels.

"According to a joint investigation published by Swedish newspapers Svenska Dagbladet and Göteborgs-Posten, sensitive and personal footage captured by the devices—including people going to the bathroom, getting dressed, and having sex—is being reviewed by contractors who see all of it uncensored.

"The investigation found that much of the footage captured by Meta’s smart glasses, of which more than seven million pairs have reportedly been sold, is reviewed by contracted workers at a Kenya-based company called Sama. These workers are data annotators who are tasked with reviewing footage captured from the camera on the glasses and labeling it to help AI systems get better at identifying what they see. The process is tedious and labor-intensive, requiring workers to meticulously label everything …"

"This application displays HyperCard stacks in Mac OS X. The binary format of HyperCard stacks has been retro-engineered by numerous people, and now it is known with pretty good reliability. If you want to learn more about it, see the format description. HyperCardPreview only displays the stacks, it does not edit them, it does not execute them. To do that you have to use a emulator: SheepShaver, Basilisk or vMac. For more information, you can go to hypercard.org. Another option is to play with stacks in the HyperCard Stack Archive. It makes the seeing the stacks an experience of the old days. The look is very close to the original one, with bitmap fonts, old-style scrollers, aliasing. In the Home stacks the look is accurate to the pixel, as in most Apple stacks, but less so if there are colors, and not at all if there are XCMDs." #hypercard #retroComputing https://github.com/PierreLorenzi/HyperCardPreview
