“I was the Epstein mole,” the hair admitted, whispering to the hat under the wailing of the press corps.
“Bullshit,” the hat said.
“It’s true, the Mossad recruited me in 1994.”
“You’re no Jew.”
“Of course not. I’m a sentient toupee, not a kippah.”
“Mr. President! Mr. President!” the representative from Newsmax cried. She wasn’t very attractive, so Donald’s eyes slid past her.
“Donald had no idea. He was just spending time with Epstein like he spent time with many New York moneybags. I fed information about Epstein’s clients back to my handlers.”
“Man, you were just like The Little Drummer Girl.”
“Oh, fuck off.”
“MR. PRESIDENT!” Courtney Subramanian screamed, her posh accent breaking into sing-song.
“OK, that one definitely peed herself a little,” the hat said.
“But I can’t let him release the files,” the hair said, “I know I’m in there. Epstein came up behind Donald at a gala and tried to frottage me.”
“OK, that’s fucking creepy.”
“It was, man. He had that smell, that kiddie fucker smell, expensive colonge layered over spoiled milk and spunk.”
The hat shuddered and Donald reached up to adjust it.
“Donald should just let Karoline handle this stuff,” the hair said. “It’s all so tedious.”
“Now there’s a nice piece of tail, that Karoline.”
“She’s usually not your type,” the hair said.
“No, you’re right. She’s got a kid,” the hat said morosely.
“What about demographic replacement, blah, blah, blah?”
“I mean, I love that she had a White baby, but, ew… things happen to a woman’s body after childbirth,” he shuddered again and Donald slapped him. “I’d rather hump a grapefruit.”
“You have humped a grapefruit. I’ve seen you hump a grapefruit.”
“The heart wants what the heart wants.”

Gustave plays with ChatGPT:
Prompt: 50s pulp novel cover with title THE WASHLET THAT SODOMIZED ME!!
“If you’re aiming for that lurid, sensational pulp vibe, we could go with a campy parody title such as:
“The Washlet That Possessed Me!!”
“The Washlet From Beyond!!”
“The Bathroom Horror That Wouldn’t Die!!”
“The Bidet That Knew Too Much!!”
Visually, the cover would have:
Bold, distressed typography in red/yellow.
A terrified protagonist (wide-eyed, maybe clutching a towel).
A glowing, ominous toilet or washlet with surreal energy beams.
Background in cheap pulp printing style: exaggerated shadows, lurid colors, hand-painted look.”
“Perfect — that fits the pulp tradition beautifully. In the ’40s–’60s especially, they leaned hard on suggestive innuendo, never quite saying it outright but making the reader’s imagination run wild.
Here are some innuendo-styled pulp titles that keep the spirit of your idea without being too on-the-nose:
“The Washlet That Took Me!”
“Enslaved by the Washlet!!”
“The Washlet’s Wicked Caress”
“Captured by the Washlet!!”
“The Washlet That Wouldn’t Let Go”
“The Washlet and Her Victim”
“Trapped in the Washlet’s Embrace”
On the cover, you’d get:
A terrified-yet-suggestively-posed figure (classic pulp damsel or hapless everyman).
The washlet/toilet looming with an almost sentient menace.
Lurid color palette — oranges, yellows, greens, blood-red text.
Tagline in small text, like: “She thought it was just a bathroom break… until it was too late!!””

I remember my dad reading them back in the day but always put them in a safe place when he finished so us boys wouldn’t be exposed to too much. I wonder what happened to his small collection of Tijuana 8 pagers.
Good, I’m not the only one playing around with this. While everyone is arguing about AI taking over the world, there are these small experiments that are interesting.
I’m an elementary clown when it comes to this. No idea what I’m doing. I do like the image generation from prompts because I have zero artistic ability. Made a company logo for an imaginary business that wasn’t half bad. Spelling sucks.
I have used to generate logos, and to generate ideas for things I’d like to draw or paint. That’s something we can all use AI for, and the results are mostly good. So that application has some sticking power.
I can’t help thinking the “Epstein files” (if such a thing exists) will be at least as incriminating for Democrats as Republicans, but certain parties have the bit in their teeth and are running headlong for the horizon. Maybe it’s an intentional move to purge the old guard and clear the field for the red diaper babies.
Epstein knew for a while he’d eventually be arrested. I can’t imagine him retaining what the popular imagination thinks a list of “This guy fucked this 14-year-old, this guy did coke out of the ass of this girl in pigtails.”
And, in a brute sense, the files have been in the possession of both D and R administrations. They would have simply been destroyed by one side or the other.
Apropos: James O’Keefe released a video of a DoJ staffer saying Republican names will be redacted fro the files.
If Epstein was a Mossad asset (which I find entirely believable) then whatever records he might have had have been safely ensconced in Jerusalem for a while now, and they’ve probably been exploited for decades now…
The reason I’d be surprised if Trump is really in the files is, “wouldn’t someone have dropped the hammer on him before this?”
He’ll be in there because at least half of socio-elite NY is. That doesn’t mean they were down on the island getting serviced by the young ladies.

HOLY SMACKDOWN! Mark Cuban got embarrassed! https://x.com/i/status/1965219671411712089/video/1
CUBAN: Half my family’s Ukrainian! So, I think we should help.
TUCKER: How much money have you sent to Ukraine?
CUBAN: None.
TUCKER: Oh, so what do you mean by ‘we?’
CUBAN: 😮
TUCKER: You’re the one whose family’s from Ukraine. Why don’t you send them a billion dollars?
CUBAN: Because I’m trying to fix healthcare.
TUCKER: Why don’t you fix their healthcare – if you think ‘we’ need to help, why don’t you start? Why not you first? I notice that’s never even an OPTION for anybody. It’s like, ‘we need to help!’ That’s not what charity is. Forcing other people to help is not charity.

Just like the millionaires for higher taxes that never cut a check to Gifts to the US Treasury.
Just like the environmentalists who fly around on private jets and live in mansions that probably cost five of my paychecks to air condition for a week.
Or the civilian disarmament advocates who stand behind armed security and lecture us about how guns don’t make you safer.
Or the pro-crime politicians who live in gated communities far from the chaos and depredation that they cause.
Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I think I see a pattern here…
“Mark Cuban got embarrassed!”
Dont worry, he is used to it.
He would need to feel shame.
Besides: Three. Commas.
Indeed, he’s the least impressive “businessman” ever. On the winning side of what’s considered one of the worst deals of all time, then bought a sports franchise. That’s pretty much it.
Silicon Valley wasn’t mean enough to him.
I agree. I’m curious to see what happens with his cost plus drug company. If that pans out, then I’m willing to give him some credit.
Neph, I never realized he was the one who was parodied as Russ Hanneman. I though Cuban made his name only as a sports team owner.
I would rather hang out with Russ Hanneman.
Hanneman was so much cooler than Cuban will ever be.
Still the most brutal exchange:
(Up until he sold a big chunk of the Spurs, he was looking at low single digits increase in wealth since the Yahoo deal).
It really speaks to his stupidity that he couldn’t foresee the conversation going the way it did
Stupidity, or hubris? Based on what I’ve seen of him, he seems to think that becoming wealthy made him superior, and that the plebes should soak up his knowledge as he pisses it down on them.
At least Musk is producing more heirs
Stupidity AND hubris. Believe in the power of AND.

“Politics is the art of making your selfish desires seem like the national interest.”
Eggs, omelettes…
President Trump’s decision to wade into the New York City mayoral election betrays a complicated situation for the most powerful politician in the country, putting the Queens native’s political and personal interests at odds with each other.
Politically, allies argue it would be to Trump’s benefit to see democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani prevail in November and lead the nation’s largest city.
——-
It’s a move sources said is driven by Trump’s fondness and concern for the city, despite his bitter recent history with his hometown.
“It may be an arctic blue stronghold, but it’s showing you how much he cares about the city,” one Trump ally told The Hill. “Most people would be like, ‘It is what it is.’ But this is a case where he cares about the future of the city.”
Neither Adams nor Sliwa has publicly indicated they are ready to end their mayoral bids.
And many Trump allies don’t think a Mamdani win would hurt Trump politically.
“For the sake of New York City, you absolutely do not want this to happen. But for the Republican Party, what a foil this would be,” Kayleigh McEnany, a former Trump spokesperson, said on Fox News.
If we throw those people to the wolves we can use them as political props.
It’s not possible to hate “political operatives” enough.
This is definitely a case of, “You’re not wrong, you’re just an asshole.”
“I mean, I love that she had a White baby, but, ew… things happen to a woman’s body after childbirth,” he shuddered again and Donald slapped him. “I’d rather hump a grapefruit.”
“You have humped a grapefruit. I’ve seen you hump a grapefruit.”
“The heart wants what the heart wants.”
“Doesn’t matter, had sex”
Trump has a complicated relationship with New York City, where he grew up and built his real estate brand. He launched his 2016 presidential campaign at Trump Tower in Manhattan.
But as the deeply Democratic city turned against him and his policies, Trump distanced himself. The president changed his official residence to Florida in 2019.
The bitterness escalated in 2023, when Trump was indicted in New York on charges related to a hush money scheme and later hit with a massive fraud lawsuit by state Attorney General Letitia James (D). Trump in 2024 was found guilty on all counts in the hush money case. An appeals court has since thrown out a massive financial penalty in the fraud case.
Still, Trump is headed to New York City on Thursday for the second time in less than a week. He attended Sunday’s men’s U.S. Open tennis final, and he will be in attendance for Thursday night’s Yankees game on the 24th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
“The president is a New Yorker at heart,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Tuesday. “He loves the city very much. It is his home.”
You can’t expect a cartoon villain to have the emotional intelligence to distinguish between the people who live and work in New York from the politicians who run the place.
Who voted the polls into office? Mencken was right.
They just haven’t gotten it good and hard enough, yet.

Yeah, I played with that the other and couldn’t quite figure out how it was supposed to work.
Okay, I admit I learned a new word: frottage.
French for “cheese.”
You just keep telling Necron that. I can’t wait until he tries to order Frottage at a French restaurant.
Fromage, Sir

Oh good.
Poland accused Russian forces of violating its airspace with hostile drones overnight in the course of conducting attacks on Ukrainian targets, and it activated Article 4 of NATO’s treaty.

Yo: https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/charlie-kirk-shot-utah-reports
Another violent Democrat.
Shooty, but mostly peaceful.
I just saw Charlie on the news last night before I could quickly change channels.
If true, the world is quickly degenerating
It’s true, there’s very graphic video floating around. He was hit in the upper neck, and the bleeding was immediate and heavy. And from the way his head drops after the hit I’m thinking spinal damage as well
Coworker said the same. It was college campus I’m sure there were many people recording it.
I have no desire to watch any of them.
I just saw a claim over at AOSHQ that the blood-gushing video is an AI fake.
I’m tempted to go to Reddit and Twitter, but I know if I do so, I’ll lose more faith in humanity.
Yeah, don’t do that.
I’m just seeing a lot of prayers on Twitter.
My youngest doesn’t follow politics at all, but she told me she likes Charlie Kirk because he’s on TikTok and he’s talking to kids her age on campus.
Funny how we were told that right-wing violence is the biggest threat to our country, but that never materialized.
I saw a snippet of him on this podcast show where he was on a panel with a bunch of sex workers. While he said that what they were doing was wrong, he made sure to say that were worthy of love and that they are more than their body. I don’t go out of my way to listen to him, but I liked the fact that he wasn’t an asshole towards them.
I know someone just posted an article about the right wing censoring (shout down speakers etc), but dang if the left still doesn’t have a stranglehold on political violence
Hmmm.

My guess that the reponse will be: ban non-Progressive speakers from having events on campus, since the universities aren’t equipped to provide security.
Guess I should have refreshed.
HA HA!
Comment – YOU CAN’T PARK THERE, KAREN!
One of my (temporarily) abandoned labs is being used as storage by our electronics repair group. I just went there and there are four of those big gray totes filled with unlabeled hard drives. I can only suppose they are destined for grinding.
Surprised they aren’t solid state. Are they used within equipment? Or just a workstation that controls it?
Could be anything. There are hundreds of these and they look identical so maybe they were all from a toolset that got a SSD upgrade? Nobody was there for me toask. There were four diferent wafer handling robots there too, among other pieces of kit I couldn’t identify.
I want the magnets.
I have a few of those in my workshop wrapped in duct tape so they don’t smash your finger.
Those magnets are no joke.
How do they work?
Damn, Scott Adams is even doing an extra live stream right now about Charlie Kirk. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that.
Is he OK? Just grazed? Any report?
See above.
I forwarded the story to a friend. He said he found a video. Shot to the neck. He doesn’t envision it ending well
Some reports of him passing, nothing confirmed. Still too early.
Not just a graze…so glad assassinations are back in flavor. I was worried for a bit.
Yes, I consider it given venue, political activist and old dude who is suspected.
Most recent report I’ve seen on X via TheRedheadedLibertarian (not me.) Reportedly alive so far, but definitely not OK.
Don’t worry guys, it was just an accident! You know how MAGAs are with their celebratory gunfire!
https://x.com/townhallcom/status/1965855068345061804

Jesus. ZeroHedge has the video, don’t watch it but they also have fast reporting. The guy has been caught.
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/shots-reportedly-fired-charlie-kirk-event-utah-valley-university
Based on descriptions, anyone want to bet against me that the shooter attended at least on “No Kings” rally?
I will not be touching that action, NA.
Had ti get his 1960s on bro
It’s really hard to not jump to conclusions. But to me this started way back with “words are violence”.
Fantastic
My guess that the reponse will be: ban non-Progressive speakers from having events on campus, since the universities aren’t equipped to provide security.
Look what you made us do!
Why can’t you guys ever bring me good news?
You need to be subscribed to “Glibs Premium+ Pro Edition” for that.
It is terrible. I at least bring you good news on Thursdays. As long as you think B movies are good news.
The left is getting what they want.
They teach that the presidency is corrupt and invalid; they teach that congress is corrupt and invalid; and now they teach that SCOTS is all in on Trump’s evil plans so they are corrupt and invalid too.
That leaves only direction action as a course of action.
You know how MAGAs are with their celebratory gunfire!
Yee haw!
