Holy Christ-on-a-stick!
"Along with the product keys, e-books, and news articles, the Trump administration also published highly sensitive information about the very victims the Epstein file release was supposed to help. It’s not just names and identifying information; it’s also photos and videos. Yes, the DOJ published dozens of uncensored nude images of young women—some possibly teenagers—on its official website."

@MsMissy we need to refer to billionaires as the “Epstein class” from here on out. #EpsteinFiles #EatTheRich
One of the weirdest things about the Epstein files - and maybe this is just how the ultra-wealthy work - is how much of it consists of him engaging in elaborate back-and-forth email chains with underlings who are arranging things that normal people have no trouble doing themselves with little effort.
Like there are pages and pages of him trying to score tickets to DEFCON, which anyone can get simply by showing up and waiting in a short line.
@mattblaze I had a window into how this particular sense of entitlement rolls among privileged white males when the COO of a software company I worked for circa '97 got the heave-ho.
It seems that he knew the CEO had a relative (brother, cousin, I forget) who was high up in a ticketing service provider that shall remain nameless for the purposes of this tale. Our hapless dude tried to use this happenstance connection by emailing the relative and asking for some choice seats at the NBA finals.
Word of this got back to our head honcho and the swipe lanyard was deactivated within the hour. Much rejoicing among the rank and file was the order of the day, which just happened to be Cinco de Mayo.
This was the same guy who wanted to design the new office with a big open plan area where all the female staff would be placed. He called it a "bullpen" and talked about how an exec should be able to walk out of His Office into this space holding a memo, and eager hands would clamor to grab it for typing and circulation.
I should look and see if his name is in the #epsteinFiles
While Mandelson and Andrew are important stories in the UK, I feel like most UK media are currently missing the big picture. Which is that the Epstein-Thiel-Bannon-Russia network, has been conspiring to destroy western democratic institutions. Andrew and Mandleson are disgusting cogs in that bigger machine. I've seen very few headlines mentioning Thiel directly over here.

“A congressman finally says out loud what the Epstein files show: allegations of Trump raping children, threatening to kill children. … Bodies allegedly buried at multiple Trump-connected properties. And the FBI never raided the one place they should have. Meanwhile, that same FBI raids…election offices while ICE agents who killed American citizens walk free.”

"The clubby deal-making and moral racketeering of the Epstein class is now the United States’ governing philosophy."

#EpsteinFiles : Quand Jeffrey Epstein voulait s’offrir l’avion présidentiel tunisien
(Malek Khadhraoui)
...it might be interesting to do a statistical analysis of how often certain people are mentioned in the #EpsteinFiles .
#ElonMusk , for instance, is mentioned 1,088 times.
Turns out QAnon was right!
- There was a deep state
- They successfully affected world affairs, like Brexit
- They ran a secret child sex trafficing ring
And Trump was in it.
@JdeBP I have no idea what you're trying to say.
As I pointed out in that post, there's a whole bunch of well-known people in the software world in there simply by dint of their names being attached to the copyright licences of various pieces of free/open source softwares. (Hyperlink to document in that post.)
And unlike in other cases, the USADOJ people didn't go through that document and black out the e-mail addresses.
Apparently I am mentioned (just once) in the Epstein Files.

(Spoiler: it's a deeply nerdy infosec discussion which name-checks one of my short stories. It doesn't even mention Epstein or Maxwell, let alone the Tangerine Shitgibbon or anything remotely incriminating.)
You would have had your full name and unredacted e-mail address if only you had licenced some free/open source software. (-:
Another non-political tid-bit from the #EpsteinFiles.
A whole load of famous software developers, from Paul Vixie and Bram Moolenaar through Matthew Dillon and Theo de Raadt to a positive laundry list of Perl module developers, all get search hits because someone decided to make a 205-page collection of free software/open source copyright licences.
https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%209/EFTA00289243.pdf
I expect some very bored person one day to make a statistical analysis of how many of each kind of licence is in there.
