I’m not clear why Trump would care about releasing the Epstein Files:
1. Is he in the files? Yes, they’ve said so.
2. Did he go to Epstein’s island? In all probability. The White House has acknowledged him being on Epstein’s plane.
3. Is he a rapist? Again, yes. He has been accused by multiple women and found liable in court.
4. Is he attracted to underage women? Again, yes. He has admitted as much, multiple times.
What else is in there?

Revulsion at deadly Oklahoma City explosion in 1995 has faded. But echoes of the blast, and its perpetrator, Timothy McVeigh, are heard today as far-right ideas storm the USAndrew Gumbel (The Guardian)
This is a longer post than my usual, due to the significance and intricacy of its topic. On March 1, 2025, Judge Amy Berman Jackson of the District Court of the District of Columbia issued a critically important opinion.Heidi Li Feldman (Heidi Says)

If anyone's been looking to get rid of American social media or just looking for a good Canadian Pixelfed server, pixelfed.ca just launched.
It's run by Fedecan, a registered Canadian non-profit.
They also run lemmy.ca and I can personally vouch for the team being both great admins and terrific people.

Oh, no! Director David Lynch has died!
He is a major reason for my lifelong love of movies, after I saw Elephant Man as a kid. A decade later, while a film student, I hustled my way into a job as a PA on the New Orleans on-location set of Wild At Heart. There I had the dream job of fetching Mr. Lynch his fruit smoothies and driving Nick Cage from his hotel to the set. Watching Lynch work on set and direct his actors was a huge privilege. He was incredibly improvisational, sometimes shooting the scene multiple times, recruiting odd bystanders and inserting them into the set.
I only knew him for a minute, a long time ago, but I am really going to miss knowing David Lynch is in the world.

David Lynch, the surrealist artist who plumbed the darkness lurking underneath American normalcy in the landmark television series "Twin Peaks" and the dreamlike films "Blue Velvet" and "Mulholland Drive," has died.Daniel Arkin (NBC News)

welcome to 2025, a harbinger of things to come
it's not humorous, a #cybertruck burning in front of a #trump tower, because it's being investigated as #terrorism- there was an explosion, 1 dead and 7 wounded. no one knows if the explosion was generated by the cyberstuck or by a bomb, as of yet
however, this reaction from a witness: "It was like a boom-boom-boom, and it almost sounded like a rolling garbage dumpster"

Another slimeball location-data company sells your doctor visits to the police. Grotesque and dangerous contempt for privacy -- and women in red states will surely become prime targets.
Burn this industry to the ground, I'd say, but Congress would have to act, and Congress is hostile to your privacy.
Fine reporting, as usual, from @404mediaco

Fog Data Science is a location tracking company that takes data harvested from smartphones and makes it accessible to cops. A document obtained by 404 Media shows the company explicitly says it will use doctors visits to unmask a target if needed.Joseph Cox (404 Media)

Scathing.
The final COP29 agreement DOES NOT EVEN MENTION making a transition away from fossil fuels.
Our so-called leaders will *never* do what is needed. They’d rather burn the Earth and boil the oceans than turn away from capitalism.

After every COP I find myself thinking: "maybe now people will realise that the *point* of these things is to keep us hoping - to give us an excuse for our own inaction".

in reply to David McLain • • •Various alleged facts are, incredible as it may seem in this light, actually much more shocking. For example, that he raped underage girls whom he knew had been trafficked for the purpose and were effectively teenage sex slaves, and abused them both physically and verbally.
It's also an image thing. A smart person can piece it together easily, as you note. But most of his supporters aren't that smart, and don't know all of this to begin with. A report can do that work for them.

Every time a Republican demands the release the Epstein files & then suddenly backs down, it seems like a game of Clue (or Cluedo, I suppose).
I always end up wondering which "card" the person was shown that made them back down. You know, which person did they find out was implicated that made them decide "oh. It would suck for me if that got out"?
