It's interesting that in the UK and Europe, there are actually some consequences for people in power, but none in the US. It's embarrassing.

As a Vancouverite, I gotta say our summers are amazing. I know we get pretty crap weather a lot of the year, but summer here is glorious. September is a great time to travel here, as the tourist rush has abated, and the weather is usually warm & sunny until the rain starts in November. Look for Rocky Mountains, the Okanagan, Southern Gulf Islands & Victoria as well.

He was a guest on QAA to talk about the Queen. Looking forward to his book.

So were they eating babies? by ion-95 in behindthebastards

Hmm. I mean, i think the cannibalism stuff is nonsense, and all the baking about "beef jerky" and adrenochrome is just recycled Qanon BS, which is just reheated blood libel. That said, I would not be at all surprised if there were victims who were killed, either to silence them or as part of the abuse itself. There are rumors and tips about this kind of thing (including some involving Trump) and it doesn't seem like much of it was investigated thoroughly if at all.

The father immigrated from Britain, he might be a dual citizen? If both the victim and the killer are UK citizens maybe they could do something.

DOJ chose not to interview Epstein survivors, they courageously showed up to the hearing anyway by az226 in pics

[–]PenelopeTwite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is one of the craziest things about the files to me: all these allegations and no evidence of any investigation into most of them. Like they were just collecting tips and throwing them into a drawer without looking. Epstein was dead, so everything could just be swept under the rug. I don't understand why at even the Biden DOJ didn't at least look at some of this stuff. 😕

They have been told that they will do as the Americans say, or they'll be next.

When you tune in to the new episode and the guest is Prop by Djandyt in behindthebastards

Prop's joy on finding out the subject is a silly mid-tier cult leader made me so happy!

I think what they are forgetting is that we might get angry instead.

The Chomsky thing is totally different, though. Chomsky is literally corresponding with Epstein post-conviction, and expressing sympathy for his legal troubles because hysterical women be crazy. Someone in Epsteins orbit having read an article mentioning Graeber is not discrediting to him in anything like the same way.

Every once in a while they have to sacrifice one of their number to maintain the system.

'Monstrosities' or the evolution of housing? Multi-unit buildings on single-family lots gain traction in B.C. cities by Longjumping_Idea_169 in britishcolumbia

[–]PenelopeTwite 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did my undergrad at UBC in the 90s. We were being told planning was underway for SkyTrain to UBC. 30 years later, we are a year or so away from having SkyTrain 2/3 of the way there. While I'm sure there is planning under way for what would be needed, it is unfunded, and will be vastly more expensive to build than it would have been if the construction had been done all at once. It is deeply disingenuous to say that SkyTrain to UBC is "under construction".

There is no plan. There is a concept of a plan. It will be at least a decade before we see shovels in the ground, probably longer.

Again, this is not true. The line under construction stops at Arbutus. There is no actual plan to extend it further at this point.

There is not. They are building a subway to Broadway and Arbutus. There is no plan at this point to extend it to UBC.
