"What are all these powerful and prominent people doing with a monster like Epstein?" im1776.com/prints/issue-3…

Pedro Álvares Cabral by Carlos Alberto Santos

Spain and Italy getting close to halving the number of people in each generation. Who is supposed to pay for pensions and healthcare benefits there as we go forward?

Nothing lasts forever. Note to Germany and Austria - you are alone in Europe and the world when it comes to refusing to use nuclear power amid surging digitalization & electrification. And you are already on the wrong side of the trend.

Watched my first full episode of #TheGildedAge An interesting and, from what I saw, historically accurate drama. Would only add the collapse in British land values post the appalling corn laws repeal is to blame for this Duke of Nebbishire seeking an American heiress.

Whiggish nonsense brewing here

Gray Connolly Haha

Let the bears in!

Wrote this Epstein / Maxwell thread during the first Covid lockdown … all very strange from the death of Sir Robert Maxwell to the death of Jeffrey Epstein and all the “friends” they made along the way … and the journalists who did not ask any questions 🧵⬇️

Good stuff. In a practical way the Maxwell network became the Epstein network, via Ghislaine: some different financiers, broadly similar intelligence services.

Almost every politician is leaving this issue on the floor. Whoever fixes this will harness the political goodwill of entire generations.

Trump and Epstein were close in the 1990s but had a falling out before Epstein's 2008 DoJ sweetheart plea deal (exactly why isn't clear). Trump's exposure here is much less than, say, Lolita Express Gold Member Bill Clinton's. Bummer if that reality hurts your Narrative.

Good morning all & OTD in 1709, the Russian Tsar, Peter the Great, finally defeats Charles XII's Swedish army at the Battle of Poltava in the modern Ukraine. The Swedish army had slowly disintegrated over the preceding Russian winter and was defeated decisively by the Russians.

Respect her keeping going tbqh

You can support fiscal conservatism. You can support funding the Ukraine war. You cannot do both.

If your reading led you to the brain dead boomer position that you are forever in the 1930s … you may need to read (much) more widely
