Please take the political discussion to the PF forum! TIA
Just listening to the Podcast Raging Moderates, and at 15:10 Jessica Tarlov wonders whether Epstein was a murderer because apparently he ordered 150 gallons of sulfuric acid – why? – and also that there was a trapdoor in the Island house that opened to the sea below. She says this is speculation, but also that it raises questions. She also says that some code words he used (“white tuna”) could be read to be referring to a dead body.
Adding to the list of gross academics …
I can’t believe this guy.
“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. 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.”
Seriously??!!
I don’t know one woman or girl who hasn’t been inappropriately harassed by a man. This subject, and the details that are coming out daily, truly make me want to throw up.

Mentioned ephebophilia is the free space in the center of the pedophile bingo card.
We live in the bad place now.
This is so disturbing - the very thought they gave this scumbag $700,000 sickens me.
NYT: “Goldman Sachs’s top lawyer, Kathryn Ruemmler, resigned on Thursday night in the wake of the Justice Department’s release of emails and other material that revealed her extensive relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier.”
Ezra Klein’s podcast today on Epstein is excellent.
Mehmet Oz, currently the Secretary of…something HHS adjacent, appears in the documents hosting a Valentine’s party to which Epstein receives a personal invite. 10 years after the first charges against Epstein were made.
I’m not familiar with the website and I thought the description made it sound sketchy. However, I assumed the information shared about the professor was probably true, but I know that assuming is unwise in this day and age!
Sorry
Co-hosting with his wife! Imagine that dinner conversation: “Honey, I know he’s a convicted pedophile, but he’s so much fun to hang out with it, why are you so judgemental?”
