  • The roster includes Sam Altman, Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan, and Elon Musk — some of the most powerful people in the world, and yet, in Peter Thiel’s words to the Times, it is a club that’s “really run out of energy . . .I don’t know if the branding is outright negative,” Thiel told the outlet, “but it feels way less important for people to join.”

    I wonder what (or who) else this roster of billionaires all have in common? 🤔

    Also: Peter Thiel: Why Monopolies Are a Good Thing

    Those seem to be two conflicting ideas… It’s almost like this guy has no fucking clue what he’s talking about, but people keep listening to him and amplifying his bullshit because he’s part of some club that signals anytime he opens his mouth important things are being said…

    “I have a law degree from Stanford.” & “Academic elites are destroying society.”

    “My dream was always to be nominated to the supreme court, but they rejected me when I applied for a clerkship.” & “I believe traditional government institutions must be toppled.”

    “I fear regulations of technology will lead to a single one world authoritarian government.” & “I plan to use my monopoly to create and control that one world authoritarian government, but it’s different because it’s a private business and nobody but me and my pedophile friends had any say in it taking control.”

    Or if you just want it all boiled down into Thiel’s greatest hit:.“I’ve come to believe that democracy and freedom are incompatible.”




  • I only watched the opening monologue but thought it was pretty funny, especially for the Oscars. I chuckled a few times, which is more than I can say for the few previous times I’ve attempted to actually watch the Oscars.

    I thought it was funny when he joked about Sean Penn getting an erection at gun point and Paul Thomas Anderson deciding they should keep that in the movie. Sean Penn not seeming to find that very funny made it really funny.

    I just think it’s insane/sad that we’re living in a world where literally just mentioning the crimes of your pedophiliac authoritarian dictator and his pedo oligarchs can be considered “shocking.”

    Like if this was happening at any other time in history that would be a throw away line on even the most tame late night talk show. But we can’t even live in a world where we acknowledge reality right now bc Trump will just sick his dollar store Charlie Brown on anyone that hurts his fee fees.

    Do you remember how often and for how long we heard jokes about Clinton getting a BJ from every late night host on network TV? Yet even mentioning the elites at Club Ped (without even naming any of them) is somehow pushing the limit?

    I was just telling my husband my very first memory of Conan O’Brien on TV was watching one of his “In the year 2000” sketches. The line was “DNA analysis will reveal the stain on Monica Lewinsky’s dress to be mustard… From Bill Clinton’s Penis!!!”

    Still think of that scene to this day every time I eat mustard.







  • Song faces a minimum of 20 years and a maximum of life in prison, according to the US attorney for the northern district of Texas. Arnold, Evetts, Morris, Rueda, Batten, Elizabeth Soto and Ines Soto each face between 10 and 60 years in prison. Sanchez Estrada faces up to 40 years.

    Just out of curiosity, has the DOJ ever gotten around to charging anybody in the Epstein files other than Maxwell? Bc there’s like millions of files.

    Like even just one single pedophile? Just to make the streets a little safer? Surely if they can make all this complete bullshit stick they can make something from those files stick, right?

    I’m sure they’re more than motivated and will be getting around to it soon. It’s only been 14 months and they probably just got a little distracted.

    They had to take care of the much more dangerous members of a made up organization. Now that that’s all cleared up and out of the way, I’m sure the hammer of justice will be swift for all those names that show up over and over again in those files…




  • Oh you can’t find a partner even willing to get married and reproduce right now?

    They just keep repeating the same nonsense on loop like:

    “Are you literally insane?”

    “Have you even noticed the present reality we’re living in?”

    “I could be charged with a crime just for having complications during pregnancy.”

    “They hooked a braindead woman in Georgia up to life support last year like a human incubator. She attempted to go to the ER because of a painful headache. Instead of helping her they gave her 2 aspirin and sent her home where she suffered from a ruptured brain aneurysm.”

    “They literally just sent her away when she sought their help, but only after declaring her braindead decided to actually admit her to the hospital.”

    “They made her family wait to remove her from life support until she had given birth to a premature baby. The baby was born with multiple birth defects he will struggle with for the rest of his life.”

    “Of course they aren’t even giving him healthcare or helping to pay his medical bills. They kept his mother alive like some kind of science experiment from the Handmaid’s Tale, and demanded he be born simply to refuse to help him survive.”

    “Because it turns out the world is literally run by completely sadistic pedophiles. They don’t even need an Epstein anymore because now they’re legally allowed to kidnap and traffick children!”

    “They’re splitting families apart and holding them indefinitely in concentration camps. There’s been multiple documented cases of murder, abuse, and sexual assault carried out by guards, and we’re just letting it happen. Now they’re buying up warehouses across the country to convert into more camps!”

    “How can you even think about something like that?! They’re dragging us into an endless WWIII just to distract from the pedophiles and help corporations increase their profits! What the fuck do you think they’re planning to do with all these kids they’re trying to force us to give birth to?”

    Psssh, sounds like typical unhinged feminism. Destroying the American dream.








  • Some populations are more at risk than others. Alaska Natives have the highest documented colorectal cancer mortality in the world, but Siegel said that, because the total number of Alaska Natives is so small, it’s hard to get funding to study why.

    I don’t doubt that it is difficult to get funding (especially now), but seems kind of dumb.

    If anything such a small population in a relatively isolated environment seems like it would allow researchers to better control variability. Unless it’s strictly a genetic risk factor, it would seem that any significant environmental risk factors they find could then just be helpful when determining what risk factors to consider in bigger heterogenous populations, right?
