As a proud (former) NYer I can very much attest that NYC HATES his guts. He basically got excommunicated, that's why he ran away to Florida

Yeah. The bad parts (I mean aside from the general entitled assholery, racism and classism, hooking up other elites, tossing bills at his victims, etc) are really truly fucking bad.

At one point the feds had not adequately culled the visual files like pics and video, and you could append various extensions to files labeled pdf. Body parts are black boxed; context is not. I made that mistake exactly once. Jesus fucking christ there is some evil shit in this world, and a great deal of it exists in Epstein/Trump's world, by deliberate choice.

The feds have since shut that loophole down, which is a bit rich: they don't want to shut the reality of those horrors perpetrated upon children down, just the visual evidence of it. I genuinely hope the afterlife involves all these people getting fucked sideways with a rusty lawnmower blade into eternity.

Well that's what journalism and similar vocations are for.

I listened to dozens of podcasts, read dozens of articles that analyze these files. Deeply, often disturbingly so. And it still gets worse with every new episode/article.

Of course, it means I have to put some trust in these people, and I don't do that lightly.

Its called The Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room.

I recommend you give the video a watch.

Hard disagree. The fact it's an art exhibit is the point, not a defect. The article summarizes it better than I could:

The library—essentially, the Epstein files in analog—is intended to represent the staggering scale of Epstein’s crimes, as well as the impunity with which he carried them out. More than 17,000 pounds [7700 kg] of evidence is on display at the library, says David Garrett, the main organizer of the exhibit at the Institute for Primary Facts, a nonprofit intended to promote transparency and accountability in the US government.

If you went into this expecting it to be about accessibility, that's not the library's fault. The fact that it's giving these a physical form is the point, because it's 1) giving a visceral representation of how immense the scale of these crimes were and 2) showing that this is 100% out in the open despite essentially fuck-all being done about it. It is a monument to injustice.

It's a statement. Art exhibits make statements. And honestly, reading about this one shook me a little, reminding me after half a decade how profoundly abnormal all of this really is. It's a way for the audience to ground themselves, and it achieves that magnificently – I'm sure even better in person.

B) Only members of government and law enforcement are permitted access to the files — so, the folks who already did fuck all.

To be clear, everyone can see the exhibit, it's showing the huge amount of the files and how crazy it is. I'm not sure you looked into it.

What a bad take.

Why are you printing shit out instead of going and getting that there accountability taken care of, bro

What power do you think this non-profit has to do anything about it? Riling people up with a public exhibit that shows the physical scale of the files for the first time is more than 99.9% of people.

Including people like you making an anonymous comment on a server in another country about how someone you surely just learned about isn't doing enough.

one guy can make an art gallery, but the nation has to agree to bringing tyrants to heel.
