- Reposted by Josh Crutchmer"The Washington Post could have been the moral center of the news industry in this era, as it was during the 1970s. It had the reporters, editors, editorial writers, columnists, researchers, lawyers and legacy. But it didn’t have the owner." newrepublic.com/article/2061...

- Reposted by Josh CrutchmerOne of the classic Westminster Dog Show bits for me is when the in-arena announcer describes the dogs as like "a courageous little clown and an ideal companion" while they're trotting around. More athletic competitions need that kind of real-time commentary.

Filth, illness, medical abuse—her child has lasting complications from being injured by a staff member. We don't know the half of what's happening in the camps, but we know enough.

- Reposted by Josh CrutchmerTrump to Kaitlan Collins after she pressed him on getting justice for Epstein survivors: "No wonder CNN has no ratings because of people like you. You know, she‘s a young woman. I don‘t think I‘ve ever seen you smile. I‘ve known you for 10 years. I don‘t think I‘ve ever seen a smile in your face."

- Reposted by Josh CrutchmerTo my view, this exchange further undermines Wolff’s claims that his relationship with Epstein was that of journalist and subject. Here, Wolff shares the pitch for funding from an accused man with Epstein, and offers commentary indicating a shared ideological commitment against the Me Too movement.
- I hadn’t known this. Two men who were accused of sexual abuse on the Shitty Media Men document that I created back in 2017 reached out to Michael Wolff for help as they looked to sue me, and Wolf forwarded their concerns to Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein offered to help. www.jmail.world/thread/EFTA0...

- Reposted by Josh CrutchmerOne of my favorite parts of the book CHAOS is that it presents you with all this new information that edges towards something tangible and then never really coheres and ultimately drives the author insane. This is a good write up but that’s what it feels like reading any of it.
- I read thousands of pages of Epstein files this weekend trying to understand what he wanted out of his meeting with 4chan's Christopher Poole. Here's everything we know about Epstein's plans to dismantle the internet and, eventually, democracy. www.garbageday.email/p/here-s-how...

Instead of accepting, Norman sent a reply calling Alan Dershowitz a pedophile rapist and saying Trivers should be ashamed for defending them, and both should be strangled instead
