(Vernor called it "the net of a million lies" for good reason; he was WAY ahead of his times in that particular respect.)

@cstross
I don't care about one pic.

Congress either enforce the full release as the law it passed specifically for that purpose demands, in which case we get to see all the photos and documents, catalogued and with sources, or they don't, in which case it's already game over and none of the photos matter.

Half measures are nothing, because the central issue is whether the executive branch is above the law, not which additional, arguably surplus, crimes the president can be implicated in.

@cstross I suspect it may be a photo of Donnie and his daughter Tiffany, born in ‘93, the one he ignores (and doesn’t want to shtup). The ages look about right. Now, why they’d be on Epstein’s jet…?

What bother’s me about that thread is people instantly saying it’s AI, and essentially poisoning the well. It’s the current version of claiming a picture’s photoshopped. It’s going to get even harder to tell.
