  • Jeffrey Epstein’s Brother Claims He Heard ‘from a Pretty Good Source’ That Epstein Files Are Being Scrubbed of Republican Names

    Jump

  • No. They have access to a variety of things (e.g. Epstein's estate provided them with a bunch of his emails) but they just voted to force the DOJ to release the Epstein files, it has not happened yet.

  • Jeffrey Epstein’s Brother Claims He Heard ‘from a Pretty Good Source’ That Epstein Files Are Being Scrubbed of Republican Names

    Jump

  • I don't understand this line of thinking. The Epstein files are the product of criminal investigations. The DOJ has the files and so anyone who has seen them thus far would be authorized to access them by the DOJ (primarily FBI agents and DOJ lawyers). There isn't any scenario where people like that would be obligated to publicly report incriminating information in the Epstein files. That's exactly why the DOJ created the Epstein files, to gather incriminating information that can potentially be used in court by Federal prosecutors. If you are under the impression that Democratic politicians have access to the Epstein files, that is not correct.

  • PSA syncthing-fork has changed owners

    Jump

  • Yes, I only use it via syncthing-fork so this is a distinction without a difference to me.

  • PSA syncthing-fork has changed owners

    Jump

  • Not sure if I qualify as extra paranoid but this whole situation feels very sketchy and has me reconsidering my use of syncthing. Making significant changes like this without any explanation is extremely bad practice.

  • My cat desperately wants to remover her own face. How do I stop that?

    Jump

  • How old is the cat? It's only 1 ear or both ears?

  • Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026]

    Jump

  • I'm disappointed in the screens they used but it unfortunately makes sense that 4k microOLED isn't feasible. I wish the new controllers supported Lighthouse tracking too. If the new controllers really are proprietary to just this single HMD that's a big failure in my opinion.

  • House cleaner shot to death on front porch after going to wrong house in Indianapolis suburb

    Jump

  • They had keys, the husband tried first and then when the wife tried she was shot in the head through the door. I don't think it changes anything, cleaners showing up at the wrong house never posed any threat and the shooter seemingly made no attempt at identifying who was at their door.

  • Why all the free-stuff Facebook groups you’re part of just changed their name

    Jump

  • I remember when Adbusters started Buy Nothing day. It's deeply ironic it's now become a product. We're living in the future they warned us about.

  • Eucalyptus look quite different when young, you may have been only seeing pictures of mature specimens.

  • What are some common things people buy that you would never buy?

    Jump

  • Sports paraphernalia or memorabilia.

  • Police report describes Republican Nancy Mace berating airport police and TSA agents

    Jump

  • It's common advice but not necessarily common practice. A huge number of people live paycheck to paycheck, including those with higher incomes.

  • ‘WAKE UP NEW YORK!’ GOP Congressman Posts 9/11 Footage of Plane Slamming Into World Trade Center in Unhinged Attack on Mamdani

    Jump

  • Hochul has been at campaign events with Mamdani within just the past several days, it doesn't really look like she is distancing herself from him when you can find them literally on a stage together. I do agree about Jeffries, I think he is trying to be strategic because of his role in the House, but he sucks too much to pull it off so instead he just looks like an ass. If he was a better politician he could have threaded the needle. In some ways his non-endorsement may have ultimately benefited Mamdani, Democratic leadership is very unpopular right now and having obvious disagreement within the party over Mamdani validates his outsider image.

  • Jesus was a historical person. This doesn’t mean Christianity is correct, but there is sufficient historical evidence and most mainstream scholars of the era agree on this.

    Jump

  • Those seem like poor examples, contemporary authors have access to vastly more resources.

  • Israeli military's top lawyer resigns over leak of video allegedly showing abuse of Palestinian detainee

    Jump

  • It's insane they let a mob break into a military base to free the rapists, and that no one was shot doing it. I don't understand how that could happen without complicity from the IDF.

  • 'Embarrassment': Mike Johnson skewered by colleague as 'worst House speaker in US history'

    Jump

  • There's been Speakers of the House who raped kids so that is really saying a lot about Mike Johnson to call him the worst.

  • Why have so many services started using single-factor passwordless authentication in the last little while?

    Jump

  • This shit drives me nuts. I've put in a lot of effort to secure my accounts but a number of them require SMS without any opt out. We have known about the risks of SMS plenty long enough at this point.

  • US | Pentagon Admits It Has No Idea Who’s on “Drug Boats” Being Bombed

    Jump

  • I'm not following. Whether or not drugs are onboard is irrelevant. Even if they can definitively prove drugs are onboard, it is still a crime for the US military to kill these people. This is categorically an illegitimate use of force. The only possible justification for this is if these boats were armed and posed an imminent threat, which obviously is not applicable.

  • US | Pentagon Admits It Has No Idea Who’s on “Drug Boats” Being Bombed

    Jump

  • At least some of them may have drugs. It doesn't matter though because even with illegal drugs aboard these boats are still not legitimate military targets. These attacks by the US military are inherently criminal.
