To be a man in such times is to be one amongst several billions. It is to live in the stupidest and most cretinous regime imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of technology and science, for so much has been coopted by Silicon Valley in service of a long-term capital strike, never to be repurposed. Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim dark present there is only war. There is no peace amongst the nations, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting Boomer reply guys.

The university where Gov. Ralph Northam (D-Va.) attended medical school on Wednesday will announce the results of an inquiry into how a photo depicting men dressed in blackface and Ku Klux Klan robes ended up on Northam's 1984 yearbook page.

Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS) will hold a news conference on Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. to announce the findings of a probe conducted by the McGuireWoods law firm into where the photo came from and the school's culture at the time, EVMS spokeswoman Jennifer McCarrel told The Hill in a statement.

Everything is horrible.

Quote

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), another 2020 presidential candidate, also criticized the finale, remarking that she was “pissed off” and “particularly upset” by the writers’ treatment of Daenerys Targaryen, a female lead portrayed by actress Emilia Clarke.

“She’s somebody who made sure the lowest income, the least empowered could have a voice, and that was who she was,” Gillibrand said in a video published Monday by NowThis News. “Her goal was to break the wheel. Her goal was to reform government and make sure it represented the people first.”

Instead, the show’s scribes “destroyed who she was and why she wanted to ascend to power,” Gillibrand said. “I thought it was cheap, and I was very unhappy.”

I don't think there's been as much change in Iowa as you're implying. Certainly that's always been one of the places where Sanders is expected to do well in the primary.

Now she just needs to realize that "quick and decisive victories" are the exception rather than the norm, provided they even exist.

Michael Avenatti, the attorney who rocketed to fame through his representation of porn star Stormy Daniels in her battles with President Donald Trump, was charged Wednesday with ripping her off.

Federal prosecutors in New York City say Avenatti used a doctored document to divert about $300,000 that Daniels was supposed to get from a book deal, then used the money for personal and business expenses. Only half of that money was paid back, prosecutors said.

...

In announcing the new charges Wednesday, prosecutors said that Avenatti sent a “fraudulent and unauthorized letter” to Daniels’ literary agent, instructing the agent to send payments not to Daniels but to a bank account Avenatti controlled. They said he used the stolen funds to pay employees of his law firm and pay for hotels, airfare, dry cleaning and his Ferrari.

...

Daniels raised concerns with Avenatti about late payments around the time her book, “Full Disclosure,” was published in October, according to the indictment.

“When is the publisher going to cough up my money,” she asked Avenatti in early December, according to the indictment.

Avenatti responded that he was “working them and threatening litigation,” prosecutors said, but he did not tell Daniels he had already received the money.

Daniels began publicly raising concerns about Avenatti’s conduct in November. In a statement, she said Avenatti had launched a fundraising effort to raise money for her legal case without telling her. She also said he had filed a defamation lawsuit against Trump, on her behalf, against her wishes.

Did he and Paul Manafort have some kind of bet to see who could commit all the crimes on the books first or what?
