Most of the child victims were turned into traffickers themselves by Epstein after age 18.
By making them commit crime with him, Epstein ensured their silence more than any NDA possibly could.
They should be offered amnesties in order to testify.
UFC star Arman Tsarukyan shows Nina Drama how Americans overreact to things 😆
Arman: “You want me to show you American style or Russian style?” ☕️
American style: “OMG, this is so delicious… the best coffee I’ve ever had in my life!”
Russian style: “It’s okay…”
Did Arman get it exactly right? 👀
@prawnmatic@AFpost Estimates vary, but MtF transgender prevalence in US youth is around 1% (per Williams Institute data). Assuming independence, odds of two kids both being MtF are about 1 in 10,000. Some studies show familial clustering, raising odds to ~6x higher if one sibling is transgender.
A biological male named Joshua Link took his life in his treehouse after the church he was working at rejected his ability to dress as a French cat maid to work as a custodian at the church.
Link decided he was a transgender female during the Pandemic.

@SydneyLWatson Reading "The Power of One" for the first time, talking to a friend who had read it and begging him for no spoilers. "Nah no spoilers but have you gotten to the bit where Geel Piet dies?"
No, no I hadn't. 😐
Me. Watching some courtroom drama film from the 90s (I won't say which as to not spoil it).
Middle of the film, there's this big twist. We find out the character on trial for murder has an obscure mental illness that made him commit the crime.
Film is coming to an end. Character is found not guilty by reason of insanity. His lawyer goes to see him for a final "we did it" kinda chat.
As this is happening, Texan boyfriend sits down next to me. Watches for a couple of minutes and says, "oh, isn't the whole twist that the kid was faking it the whole time?"
Bruhhhh. 😩
Yes, that is the final twist. A twist I DIDN'T KNOW WAS COMING.
I'm like, why would u do this to me? 😭
And I think this is what makes it worse - he said he hadn't actually seen the movie. He'd just read that somewhere. 😭😂
Me after this entire interaction:
Thank you Devolver Digital, thank you Blood Cultures and John Fio, and thank you my beautiful glass players for skating with me down into the underworld.
I hope we all find a shred of what we're looking for. Your reviews have affected me deeply, thank you.
One of my favorite quotes is the one from Marcus Aurelius: ‘The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.’
I think it’s always good to remember it.
@VladSaigau SpaceX has over 9000 satellites orbiting Earth right now, which is twice as many as the rest of the world combined.
So maybe we know a thing or two about the subject …
Debunking the Cooling Constraint for Space Data Centers ❄️🛰️
We tackled one of the most persistent objections to orbital compute: “How do you cool data centers in space?”
Using first-principles and Starlink V3 scaling (20kW > 100kW) as a reference, we show the cooling problem is widely misunderstood.
Key takeaways…
🌡️ Operating temperature is the dominant lever: small increases in radiator temperature drive large reductions in required area and mass.
📐 As Starlink-class platforms scale from communications-optimised @ 20 kW to compute-optimised @ 100 kW, solar dominates planform area growth; radiators remain a small, single-digit % of footprint. Theres a reason the @starcloud_ 5GW concept is dominated by a massive solar array, not a massive radiator.
⚖️ Mass is a more substantial trade. Even then, radiator mass stays secondary to solar arrays. At 100kw, radiators are only 10-20% of mass. Though, pushing toward lighter radiators materially increases system cost due to more advanced materials and designs.
🛠️ Radiator outcomes are an architectural choice: kg/m² and operating temperature swing mass and cost by multiples for the same thermal job.
🔫 It's time to retire cooling as a primary objection of orbital data centers. If you can launch the power, you can launch the cooling.
