In addition to age of consent activism, Jeffrey Epstein supplicant Thomas K. Hubbard also wanted to fund “The Autogynephilia Project,” a longtime dream of chaser J. Michael Bailey. My profile of Hubbard in reply. www.chron.com/politics/art...

What the actual fuck
People involved include:

Thomas K. Hubbard, President and Executive Director 
Ryan Conrad, Director
Michael Shimkin, former vice chair of National Association for Rational Sexual Offense Laws
Shawn Rolfe, sex offender registry reform advocate
former directors include:
Harris Mirkin
Gert Hekma
Beert Verstraete
Thomas Waugh
James Dubro
In October 2025, “Isaac Q” of the William A. Percy Foundation announced funding for “The Autogynephilia Project,” writing in part:When contacted by Chron, Hubbard said the Epstein foundation had a "long record of supporting various academic interests."

"I was not then and am not now aware of any evidence that Jeffrey Epstein was a 'pedophile' in the technical sense; his sexual preference appears to have been for young women aged 16-22, which would at most reflect partial ephebophilia," Hubbard told Chron in an emailed statement. "Although most of the women who were involved with him at that age retrospectively regret it, I am unaware of any evidence that the contacts were non-consensual at the time."

"Some were self-conscious sex workers who recruited others into his orbit and are now making cynical claims of victimization to cash in on his estate and business partners, as reported by Michael Tracey and other credible journalists," Hubbard added. "Like over 1,000,000 Americans, he did have a conviction for a sex-related offense, but from what I could see in 2015, it was for something that would not even have been illegal in most European countries and resulted in a very short sentence."

Much of the electorate has no memory at all of the politics of that era. They do have sharp memories of what we have had recently. And many conclude anything might be better.

So, bunch of lads in vans with a fake version of the logo of a fuel company on them, caught with fuel but…
Fears of an imminent terrorist attack were downgraded when experts found fuel, not explosives, in the three vans the men were driving. Sources dismissed online speculation that they were fuel thieves.

And you’re *sure* they’re patsy proxies for Iran and not, you know, fuel thieves.
Laurence Taylor, the national head of counterterrorism, said on Tuesday night: “Those vehicles have been subject to extensive examination, with the support of military assets and forensic experts, and we can confirm that no improvised explosive devices were found. However, a quantity of petrol was recovered.”

Here's a noteworthy flaw to this thesis: those same regimes also treat social media like any other media: i.e. controlled by the regime with opposition media banned, and authoritarian politicians in democracies explicitly want to attack your right to freely use social media without posting your ID.

Today’s podcast and LOL yes lads, everyone was gloomy in 2024 because “Keir Starmer didn’t want to be too upbeat”. It definitely wasn’t because the most horrific and malicious people in the party were in charge and it had dawned on everyone that they had pledged themselves to the cause of Evil.
Yeah, it's got this nervous energy to this conference, I think. Everybody's kind of slightly buzzing, very excited, but also not quite sure what they've done in the last few months and not quite sure where they're headed. There's suddenly, I was watching the main stage today and you're seeing people go up and give speeches that haven't been in front line jobs for a little while and are suddenly back at the heart of government.
And there's just a feeling of, oh my goodness, it's almost like what the mood of the first conference after the 2024 general election should have been. That should have been exactly, but it wasn't.
Because this is sort of this weird pessimism that Kirsten Stammer didn't want to appear too upbeat. And it ended up being really gloomy and they ended up in a downward spiral. But I've spoken to several coffees with different cabinet ministers and every single one of them has arrived with a smile on their face.
