"These men – Trump and Attia and others in the Epstein network of partying and playing and getting 'massages' -- can slough off criticism of their behavior in years past because today, the Trump Department of Justice has said officially that they did nothing wrong."

'You know, you are the worst reporter,' Trump said disdainfully. 'You know, she’s a young woman,' Trump said the Republican lawmakers arrayed around his desk. 'I don’t think I’ve ever seen you smile,' he said, turning back to Collins."

"'I’ve known you for ten years. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a smile on your face,' Trump said bitterly.
'Well,' Collins interjected, 'I’m asking you about survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse, Mr President.'
Ignoring her reply, Trump continued his rant: 'You know why you’re not smiling? Because you know you’re not telling the truth. And you’re a very dishonest organization, and they should be ashamed of you.'"

"They all sell out women in the end. So yet again, it’s being left to the victims. Twenty of the Epstein survivors recently released a statement saying that information about them was included in the latest file release, “while the men who abused us remain hidden and protected”. That is the dark heart of this – yet even now we’re looking the wrong way."

Kalyeena Makortoff & Graeme Wearden report on an apparent tipoff by Peter Mandelson to Epstein that gave him advance notice of Gordon Brown’s resignation and a €500bn eurozone deal.
"The apparent tipoff, revealed in the latest tranche of the Epstein files, not only gave Epstein an inside track on the UK’s political future, but also on large moves that were to ripple through global markets."

It fell 2.2% on the day of the vote, its worst day in over a year, illustrating how concerned traders were about the risk of a hung parliament and political instability."

/26"On the day of Mandelson’s apparent tip-off to Epstein, the pound rose by more than two cents to $1.505, before losing all its gains as Brown’s resignation – and his plan for Labour to hold coalition talks with Clegg’s Liberal Democrats – sent shock waves through Westminster."

"Here is a list, long but hardly exhaustive, of the individuals who elevated him, who hired him, who funded him, who enabled him, who befriended him, who partook of his services, and, in some cases, were his partners in crime."
The preceding is Greg Olear's introduction to a previous article he wrote compiling a tally of the rich and famous who interacted with and sustained Epstein — see the link below.

@wdlindsy Yeah, they kinda need to put those in columns so those who had only passing acquaintance w/him are not sullied like those who partook in every taboo because he made it available.

"Jeffrey Epstein was not a self-made man. His success, especially in the early days, depended on the largesse of the rich and powerful men and women with whom he curried favor. He was an opportunist. His genius, if we can call it that, lay in cultivating and leveraging relationships with important people, both in the United States and around the world."
~ Greg Olear
@wdlindsy He was a charming con man.

Epstein was the quintessential pimp. The privleged need such a person to provide them with their dirty pleasures without getting their hands dirty. Someone they can blame and flush when they get caught out. He was the middle manager to the golden boys joie de vivre.

"who now admits to doing some serious partying with Jeffrey Epstein in the years after Epstein’s conviction on charges of procuring a child for prostitution. Partying with Epstein, Blanche assures us, is 'not a crime.'
See how it works?"

@sabrinkmann thanks! @UlrikeHahn shared with me a link by Bluesky folks that talked about the potentials of the ATmosphere for sentiment analysis for brands, etc.
I get it, but the network is still so niche and with so few daily active users that 100 million dollars invested in it seem A LOT. They have stagnant growth.
For the fediverse, yes I have ideas about sustainability (ie. public institutions treating it as a public utility and funding its server and development costs)

@_elena Thank you for your post! I think this is something we (Fediverse users) need to improve.
Realistically, I see two scenarios in which they could generate a return on investment: enshittification or using Bluesky to promote the crypto agenda.
I think there's a very small chance they'll incorporate crypto for useful e-commerce or smaller transactions, like donations or Patreon.However, communication about these concerns is lacking. Many institutions only see this platform, which has a lot of money for development and advocacy, as having a better "solution" than the Fediverse.
We also just talked about that now. I also see many challenges in finding good solutions for financial sustainability for development, community care, and advocacy. Do you have any ideas about this?
Something like a global "prediction market" involving a lot of cryptocurrency? In other words, gambling.
