If the Epstein files turn up evidence of Trump with an underage girl, expect a lively discussion on the right about the arbitrariness of age of consent laws.

This is such important historical work. I lived through the thick of this, and Cosper covers it with honesty and care.

The thing I’m wondering is why JD Vance’s suits never fit. He always looks like he grabbed a matching jacket and pants set off the rack at JC Penny’s on the way to the event.

This is almost certainly bullshit; that said, be on the lookout for a forthcoming podcast from @eddymoretti.bsky.social detailing some much more interesting Trump/Russia ties. www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news...

If I were a conspiracy theorist, I’d be thinking that Joe Biden faked his dementia to sabotage the Dems so that they wouldn’t be holding the bag in the economic collapse coming in the next four years. These market trends are terrifying.

Favreau is more right than wrong here. The problem the left has in winning elections is not the internal machinations of the Democrat party, or the lack of a “perfect” candidate. The problem Dems have is with the voters.

They say that salespeople are the easiest people to sell to, and I think that’s what’s going on with Trump’s cabinet picks. Each one is a magnificent shittalker, and Trump is snookered into believing that means they are competent in their respective fields.

Aesthetics people: I'm looking for things to read about the development of taste, i.e. the capacity for aesthetic appreciation. Not stuff about the judgment of taste: I'm specifically interested in reading about what it is to *develop* one's taste, and how one goes about it. Reposts welcome!

The trouble with RFK jr. is not that he is an heterodox thinker, it’s that he’s never met a conspiracy theory he didn’t like.

From Hugh Hefner, to Jeffrey Epstein, to Roy Moore, to Mark Robinson, to Matt Gaetz--any Trump supporters out there care to admit that he surrounds himself with, and endorses, men whose sexual preferences are far from traditional? Party of family values indeed.

Herbert Read doubts that “a person with real sensibility ever stands before a picture and, after a long process of analysis, pronounces himself pleased. We either like at first sight, or not at all.” Not sure he’s right?

People holiday shopping: Do you have friends or family who are curious about what to do, think, and feel when artists whom they love do shitty things? I wrote a book about that, and you can grab it for under $15. No easy answers, but plenty of food for thought #philsky www.amazon.com/Drawing-Line...
