I normally stay out of political drama, but since I was the “friend in Savannah” Cynthia referenced, I feel obligated to speak honestly about what I personally witnessed.
Thomas and Cynthia visited my home in Savannah after the passing of his wife. From my recollection, it had only been a few months, and he was clearly heartbroken and grieving. I specifically remember conversations by the pool where he talked about how deeply the loss affected him. He did not come across as someone acting recklessly or maliciously. He was kind to Cynthia, respectful, and they appeared happy together at the time.
I also personally knew Cynthia was going through a very difficult divorce during that period and was unhappy with her legal representation. To my recollection, the $5,000 Thomas gave or lent her was related to helping her obtain a different attorney during that divorce situation — not “hush money.”
Separately, Cynthia had ongoing workplace complaints involving Rep. Spartz’s office that she discussed long before any of this current public controversy. From what I understood at the time, those issues were about what she described as a toxic work environment and had nothing to do with Thomas.
I am not speaking on politics, campaigns, or what may or may not be happening behind the scenes. I can only speak to what I personally observed. Based on my own experience around both of them, the timing of these allegations — one week before an election — feels very strange to me.
People can draw their own conclusions, but I felt it was important to share firsthand context instead of speculation.

@Thinkwert That's the old way of looking at her.
Today way know that Cathy Ames was *really* a misunderstood Fin de siècle girlboss

@Thinkwert It’s on my all times favor it’s list. I, too, hope that Netflix doesn’t ruin it.

Cathy Ames (the Florence Pugh character) is one of the great psychopaths of American literature but this trailer is making her seem…sympathetic? I hope they don’t change her. The novel is fantastic.

Hold up… I thought they destroyed all those MK-Ultra files???
Leading Report@LeadingReport
CIA seized 40 boxes of JFK and MK-ULTRA files that were being processed by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) for declassification.

@emzanotti I’ve had success doing that on multiple occasions with several different hens.

@ll_r_ps @bowtiedfarmer Before you snark back, I am a homeowner and would welcome a 50% reduction in price if it meant Gen Z can buy a house. Because I’m not a typical boomer.

@IslandRobinKV @bowtiedfarmer Didn’t you mean to capitalize every other letter?
English

@ll_r_ps @bowtiedfarmer Cute meme reference. That being said, when boomers came into power there was 3 T in debts now it’s 39 T and the dollar has lost 30% of its value in six years. You’re an asshole for hindering gen Z in getting a roof over their heads to protect property value. Boomerism.

East of Eden is one of my favorite books. The series will either be amazing or it will ruin it (for example how the film Simon Birch butchered A Prayer for Owen Meany)

Tim Dillion is such a hero, it’s really impossible to overstate how much I love him.

@annathiikaa @harpersharps @lydiakauppi @PonyBoy_XY “Cool story bro” is a very common phrase to make fun of someone for being stupid. Given my understanding of American colloquialism, it was easy to read into.
English

@IslandRobinKV @harpersharps @lydiakauppi @PonyBoy_XY Wow you’re a mind reader and understand people’s intentions perfectly, that’s cool! Tell me what my actual response to your comment is!
English

@pnwguerrilla I, homestead, grow all my own food etc. Something I think about is how I’ll never really be self sufficient until I can reach the level of this guy

English

@ll_r_ps @bowtiedfarmer A lot of people also want the that nations wealth back that the boomers stole. Want in one hand shit in the other, see what fills up faster.
English

@bowtiedfarmer A lot of people don’t want shanty towns dragging down their property value. Places already plagued with blight and poverty might want to permit it, or homesteading farmland, but not everywhere.
English

@harpersharps @lydiakauppi @PonyBoy_XY No. He is reminding people there is more than one way to get it done. She choose to respond with zero grace, making her look like the asshole.
English

@lydiakauppi @PonyBoy_XY So rude to belittle his accomplishment. You think you’re better because you did it with drugs? You could just show respect to people who choose to loose weight differently.

The panda conspiracy is more interesting than any other conspiracy. They had depictions of tigers for 7,000 years but this fat stupid abomination was hidden and unkillable and won’t fuck and never ovulates.
I literally would rather find out about what the hell a panda is than how 9/11 happened.
Pan is a hybrid demon depicted as an enchanter and corrupter. What if it’s actually this retard.

In a stable money society, the only thing a person needs to know is to spend less than he earns, and to save. Such a society is perfect for the middle class that just wants to build a home and continue the society.
And it’s better for interest rates to be moderately high, so he can earn bank interest - because the average person has no time or inclination to engage in stock and real estate speculation. Higher interest rates also mean house prices are lower - because they are a place to live and not a speculative investment.
The only people who win on low interest rates are sophisticated schemers who can borrow at zero and make wild investment bets. If they go bad they walk away or file for bankruptcy on the special purpose entity set up for the play. If they score - they take all the gains, and then go on TV and claim special knowledge to credulous CNBC hosts.
We are living in a casino capitalism society that works against middle class savers who just want to contribute to their community.
