TEN THOUSAND STARLINKS: On
March 16th, a Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from Vandenberg Space Force
Base carrying 25 Starlink satellites. It was a routine launch for
SpaceX, the 33rd of 2026. But those 25 Starlinks crossed a milestone.
For the first time in history, more than 10,000 Starlink satellites were
simultaneously circling Earth.

Consider where we started: When SpaceX
launched its first operational Starlinks in May 2019, there were roughly
2,000 active satellites of all kinds orbiting Earth. Starlink alone
now outnumbers the entire pre-2019 fleet five to one. The constellation
has utterly transformed the orbital environment.
The numbers are sobering. Since 2019, more
than 11,596 Starlinks have been launched. Of those, more than 1,500 have
already reentered the atmosphere as SpaceX retires older satellites to
make room for newer models. Each re-entry deposits about 30 kg of
aluminum oxide into the upper atmosphere--an uncontrolled chemistry experiment on a planetary scale.
In the cold open, James Austin Johnson played President Donald Trump delivering remarks and declaring, "Happy World War III to all who celebrate!"
Johnson's
Trump went on to say he launched the attack on Iran because he and his
"Board of Peace decided that we were bored of peace" and because he
needed help "distracting from the Epstein files."
"I
know on the campaign trail I promised no new foreign wars," he said.
"But listen: Wars, plural, right? I'm allowed to do one."
The
two-day celebration of Purim begins Tuesday evening. A total lunar
eclipse (Blood Moon) will occur later that night (early hours Wednesday
March 3rd) with maximum eclipse (when the moon is deepest red) at 3:33
a.m. PST (11:33 UTC). That’s 3:3:3:33! The entire event will be visible
across North America, with totality lasting nearly an hour.
Interestingly,
the March 3 Blood Moon, peaking around 3:33 AM PT in Virgo, signifies a
powerful time for karmic shifts, emotional release, and rapid life
changes. The number 333 often represents divine guidance and spiritual
alignment, while the Virgo eclipse focuses on releasing energies that no
longer serve personal growth. Make of that what you will.
Fired
Rutgers pseudoscientist, Robert Ludlow Trivers, a sweaty piece of shit
who used Epstein’s money to try to make “evolution” justify patriarchy
and honor killings, currently hiding somewhere in Jamaica
I
offer these articles freely, but your support is needed and
appreciated. Please subscribe, paid if you can, and share — or leave me a
tip! Thanks.
I
continue to comb through The Files from Hell so you don’t have to, and
today I want to share what I found out about the relationship between a
dead child-rapist Jeffrey Edward Epstein and a
should-be-dead-soon-if-we’re-lucky pseudo-intellectual piece of shit
named Robert Ludlow Trivers.
You’re welcome.
Trivers, 83, is a mediocre white man still hailed in many circles as an influential evolutionary biologist and sociobiologist.
He shouldn’t be.
And anyone who still thinks he’s smart is probably an idiot, just like Trivers.
His
“important” work, pioneered back in the 1970s when he still had a full
head of hair, is one big exercise in motivated reasoning, confirmation
bias, non-falsifiable thinking, and pseudoscience in service to his
ad-hoc hypotheses — a classic case of a sexist, racist, bloviating,
narcissistic pus-bucket who hid his personal insecurities, depravities
and lack of conscience behind “academic research” as a university
professor, one of the few careers where men with his so-called
personality are still allowed to spew bullshit in lecture halls whilst
getting paid for it.
Well, until he got fired, anyway. Which
he did. In 2015. From Rutgers. Where he did things like — brace
yourselves — lick the ear of a pregnant student, who complained about
this to the administration there. He also insulted women students
generally from behind his protective podium. A lot. And they complained
about him. A lot. Oh, and he also threatened to hurt and perhaps kill a
colleague back in 2012. None of this got him fired though. He was only
fired after he refused to teach a course on aggression, saying he knew
nothing about it whilst, you know, being aggressive.
God,
I hate men like Bob. Can I call him Bob now? I don’t want to dignify
him by using his last name. Bob would have been perfectly despicable
without a close friendship with Epstein — Jeff. Can I call him Jeff?
Yes. His close friendship with Jeff over decades. Bob would have been
worthy of shoving out of a plane into an active volcano even without
the more than 900 emails between the two (or their assistants) that I
was able to find in the digital Syrup of Ipecac that is Los Epstein
Files. But alas, there is all of THAT, too.
I’ve seen a
bunch of corporate media articles that say things like “Jeffrey Epstein
liked to surround himself with the greatest minds in science.” That’s
simply not true. Yes, Jeff often met with CERTAIN professors, academics
and scientists. But he, like Bob, was extremely selective — and by that I
mean Jeff cherry-picked ‘scientists,’ selecting only those, like Steven
Pinker (or, as I like to think of him, Peeven Stinker) who were willing
to cherry-pick ‘facts’ to bolster their fucked-up beliefs.
Nowhere
was this adoration of intellectually dishonest ballsacks more apparent
than in Jeff’s relationship with Bob, who dedicated his career to
asserting that the very worst traits of men who rape, kill and bully —
men like Bob and Jeff — confer some sort of evolutionary biological
advantage.
Bob’s approach to biology, if one can even call it
that, was appealing to Jeff, who hosted Bob many times at his
properties, even bringing Bob’s then 17-year-old son to Jeff’s Palm
Beach estate at one point. And as for Jeff being an intellectual? A
cursory read of the misspelled, poorly-punctuated emails of this college
dropout tells the truth: Jeff was a good conman and rapist, but he was
not a sophisticated intellectual by any stretch of the imagination. In a
wonderful article in The Outline about Jeff’s love of evolutionary
biologists like Bob, writer Alexandra Walling quotes a frequent dinner
guests of Jeff’s as saying he had no ability to pay attention for more
than a few minutes without interrupting to ask things like, “What does
this have to do with pussy?”
Anyway.
After one visit to
Jeff’s place, Bob emails Jeff gushingly, to say he had a wonderful time,
noting he especially “loved Jeff’s staff, as usual,” saying “it was a
REAL pleasure,” with REAL in all caps. The pure juvenile snickering of
the email’s tone would be pathetic if it didn’t seem like some kind of
clumsy code for “thanks for letting me ‘hang out’ with those little
girls again.”
Anyway, such a shitforbrains frat-boy approach to
evolutionary biology has unfortunately not been all that unusual under
patriarchy. Western academia has historically favored degenerate men so
steeped in the culture of Judeo-Christian misogyny — even whilst
proclaiming their oh-so-sciencey atheism — that they were incapable of
anything remotely like scientific objectivity. Men like Bob. Men who
shove their broken observations of the natural world through a fetid
personal sieve of sexism and colonialist racism.
But even amongst
that gaggle of dumbasses, Bob stands out for his Superior Dumbassery.
In email after email, some sent in the middle of the night, Bob
basically begs for Jeff to like him. Kind of like those pathetic emails
from Elon Musk and Steve Bannon, begging to come to parties and asking
how to get girls. In paragraph after paragraph, Bob tells Epstein about
his life, the way an adolescent boy might try to impress his older
brother who blows frogs up for fun. Jeff answers the way any good
domineering dipshit who realizes he’s got the insecure professor right
where he wants him should: with a word or two. No more than that. Leaves
Bob to twist.
It’s clear from their exchanges that Jeff was not
overly impressed with Bob, likely because insecurity as blatant as Bob’s
would read as uninteresting to a psychopath like Jeff, who liked a
challenge. Bob was too easy to manipulate. Too easy to bend. To eager to
please. Rapists hate that.
Nonetheless, Jeff DID finance a bit of
research for Bob: $20,000 here, $30,000 there. The most Jeff ever gave
Bob at once appears to have been $40,000. In an email to fellow
pseudointellect Noem Chomsky in the wake of Bob’s firing, Jeff brags
about being Bob’s sole patron.
In exchange for this money, Jeff
seems to have steered the direction of Bob’s research and career,
evidenced by emails about papers and talks Bob tells Jeff he’s done,
“just like you told me to.” He says this twice, like a kid who finished
chores and wants daddy to come see.
Now, I know this seems like a
lot of money to many of us. But there are other scientists who got half a
million to a million bucks or more from Jeff. Twenty grand under these
circumstances feels almost insulting. When Bob got fired from Rutgers,
former MIT professor (and fellow depraved fuckwit) Joi Ito emailed Jeff
about it, asking if he’d heard, Jeff replied, simply, “It wouldn’t
surprise me.”
The most obvious project Jeff funded for Bob was one
in 2014 in which Bob set out to “prove” that a supposed superior
symmetry in Jamaican people was the reason they “are better at
sprinting.”
But the “symmetrical knees” study was only the front-facing hypothesis.
Behind it lay two extremely creepy truths.
One,
Bob, who is white, has had a lifelong obsession with black (and
sometimes brown) women, one that he alludes to several times in the
emails with Jeff. He loves black women because he believes selective
breeding by white men made them “superior” genetically.
In an
email about a trip he took to give a lecture in Zagreb, Croatia, Bob
tells Jeff the women are very beautiful but lighter-skinned than he
usually enjoys. Of the lecture itself, Bob brags that he has a whole
section in which he “slices and dices the feminists.” He seems to think
this will make Jeff like him more. It didn’t work.
Anyway. In
other emails, Bob goes on and on about the physical attractiveness of an
East Indian woman scientist, and makes multiple references to his
fetish for black women.
Two, Bob tells Jeff he chose Jamaica to
do the research, because it was to be conducted on children by filming
them dancing and then measuring their body parts and proportions. This
type of research, he says, would be easier in Jamaica because the
government was lax about doing testing on children, whereas most other
countries with large Jamaican diaspora populations, such as England,
were strict about NOT doing such experiments on kids.
There is no barf emoji big enough for this horror.
Massie: US Government Under Siege By Chemical Giant Bayer
Posted on
Pravda
Rep. Thomas Massie just went scorched earth on the executive branch,
naming names and connecting dots between German Bayer, the White House,
and the Supreme Court.
All three branches are “under siege by lobbyists and lawyers from a German company named Bayer. ”
Bayer spent over $9 million lobbying to avoid liability for Roundup herbicide damages.
“The Constitution guarantees people a trial if they’ve been harmed. Why are we contemplating going against the Constitution?”
The connections:
The AG Pam Bondi has “opined favorably for this German company in front of the Supreme Court” on liability.
The President’s Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, and Bondi both worked
for a lobbying firm that received “millions of dollars from Bayer. ”
Furthermore, an executive order has declared the production of this Bayer chemical a “national defense priority. ”
“We know why they’re doing that. It’s to keep them from having any liability.”
