Earlier this week I was reading some blah blah about the exact wording of the thing the first white male Christian American to step on the moon said: "Hey, everybody else - stepping all over the moon is for for white male Christian Americans ONLY!" - when suddenly it came to me: If Karl Marx had said, "To each according to their needs", a lot of us would nodding along in solidarity with Marxism right now.
Way to blow a slogan, Marx.

A Canadian friend who has been taking on a Canadian purveyor of deliberate disinformation and racist propaganda in the courts, and losing, for reasons of judges appointed by Stephen Harper and judges who don't seem to care about or understand how deliberate disinformation and racist propaganda poisons all our lives, has now been unceremoniously banned from Twitter.
No explanation forthcoming. Just had his account deleted. So score another white power win for the Canadian purveyor of deliberate disinformation and racist propaganda.
Meanwhile, the other day I witnessed a fellow on Facebook offer to have a word with Jack Dorsey about this predictable course of events, for me, anyway, in which the billionaire white tech bro's free speech empire opts to deny access to the free speech rights of the good guy in favour of the bad guy's right to continue profiting from his purveying of deliberate disinformation and racist propaganda.
Now this friend of mine is a person of some resources, but not endless resources, who is doing the public good of exposing fraudulent fundraising practices by the owner of this propaganda outlet, a propaganda outlet that employs known white nationalists, and who is known for his tactic of tying up critics in court for years on end. I mean, lordy, there are even tapes! Leaked to the public! By disgruntled former employees!
I'm not on Twitter, but I read it, and because I'm not on it, caught up in its swirling vortex of opining, I can see, in addition to the pointlessness of it all, the white nationalist bot armies that populate it, and the purveyors of deliberate disinformation and racist propaganda who poison all our lives, dominating it.
But, of course, Twitter can't host Donald Trump and pretend to be anything other than a purveyor of deliberate disinformation and racist propaganda itself, can it.

Netflix News
So I decided to watch the Netflix series "Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich" and, I have to say, for a guy we've been told by all and sundry was a charismatic math genius in real life, he sure comes across as an oafish dolt on camera.
Also, I found it hard to square the sophisticated billionaire financier philanthropist party host by night with the cross-eyed mutt by day whose wealthy British heiress and probable spy galpal procured for him local adolescent girls for topless massages for $200 a pop.
And you'll note if you watch the series (which is worth watching for how manipulated you'll feel before, during, and after) that, the victims - who are entirely believable - are careful to specify the $200 offered, and just as careful to not specify leaving with it.
I mean, I get it, why help their abusers get away with the claim that they thought their victims were of-age prostitutes like at Hugh Hefner's Playboy mansion, not local schoolgirls being sex trafficked for peanuts, but you can practically hear the pre-camera-rolling instruction, "Say the part about Ghislaine Maxwell offering you the $200, but just leave out the part about taking it."
I don't know, either, but it's also hard to square these now middle-aged women, again, all entirely believable victims of Jeffrey Epstein & Friends, living in what - in most cases - appear to be fairly upscale surroundings complete with ocean views, telling all about what we already know, backed up by photos we've already seen, and Jeffrey Epstein's ignominious death in the federal custody of Bill Barr, Attorney General of the United States.
Like, correct me if I'm wrong, but did we not all witness - via the media, of course, not with our own eyes - supposedly untouchable Jeffrey Epstein get fed like a goat to a caged lion at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan last August? I mean, did any of us not think he was going to be murdered by that salivating steroid case and dirty ex-cop facing the death penalty for murdering four other cops in a drug deal gone bad?
Anyway, apparently, a $600M payout from the dead Jeffrey Epstein's estate is in play for his victims, and, of course, their lawyers, unless maybe the filthy rich perverts from whom it was extorted decide to demand their money back and it all gets tied up in court forever.
Is the kink for these rich men - and women because there's always at least one to make it #notjustmen - sexually violating minors or knowing that they're being videotaped sexually violating minors?
Knowing that they're going to be blackmailed for being videotaped sexually violating minors?
By the way, even though we can clearly see Bill Clinton in some of the photos, the victims, so far, make it equally clear that they never witnessed him being part of any of the illegal activities engaged in by other party-goers, like the repeatedly named Ghislaine Maxwell, Alan Dershowitz, and Prince Andrew.
But you, like me, already knew that, I'm sure.
To be continued if anything even remotely revelatory comes up.

Way to go, COVID-19, kids don't even change out of their pajamas anymore. I see them everywhere now. Kids in pajamas.
Otherwise, I do enjoy being part of a global effort to not get or spread you, so I suppose that's on you, too.
Also, not having to go anywhere or do anything is the best.
Oh. Did I say "not having to"?
I meant "not being able to".
