The #Epstein clique didn't create everything horrible on Earth, but it sure seems like they were in the thick of it all.
Here is an article on how they promoted #sexism in #STEM .

@alice The harm caused when attackers are not screened never really goes away. I got attacked by Nazis on Twitter. I still feel it.
@kimlockhartga I've been tempted to start collecting the attacks I get and publishing them (with content warnings!) because a thing I hear over and over is:
"Really? I never see stuff like that here."
And these (mostly) white (mostly) guys were saying the same thing when #BlackMastodon talks about #Racism.
Or when #FemmeFedi talks about #Sexism.
It's like, dude, you don't see it because you're not the target. 😮💨
This is heart-rending. What's wrong with us? Why are we so shitty to women – and even girls, this person is 15 years old, for Chtulu's sake. What do people think they stand to gain?
I feel completely out of touch, uncomprehending. And I feel a deep shame, even though I am innocent of those particular accusations. Just by being a man. Damn it. #sexism

Interview: U.K. Arrests Ex-Prince. Where is the Accountability in US?
British police released former Prince Andrew on Thursday. The police investigation is continuing, so far only into his actions as a UK trade envoy.
Authorities did not reference abuse allegations against Mountbatten, who settled a lawsuit with Epstein survivor Virginia Roberts Giuffre in 2022.

"The billionaires' eugenics project"
An Epstein-funded group "cloaked eugenics, race 'science' & sexual misconduct in Ivy-League respectability."
The group called 'Edge' had token female members, who were excluded from men-only schmoozing, conferences & "Billionaire dinners":
"The Epstein files tell us [that] the men – from Pinker to Dawkins to Musk to Gates – converged on nothing less than the ideology of Mein Kampf."

Today, in honor of Black History Month, we remember Flo Kennedy, who was born on this date February 11, 1916, in Kansas City, Missouri. Kennedy was a lawyer, feminist and civil-rights activist. As a lawyer, she represented Billie Holiday, Charlie Parker, Assata Shakur, H. Rap Brown, and Valerie Solanas (for her attempted murder of Andy Warhol). In 1972 she formed the Feminist Party and filed an Internal Revenue Service complaint alleging that the Catholic Church violates tax-exempt requirements by spending money to influence political decisions. "I'm just a loud-mouthed middle-aged colored lady . . . & a lot of people think I'm crazy. Maybe you do too, but I never stop to wonder why I'm not like other people. The mystery to me is why more people aren't like me."
She grew up at a time when the KKK was quite active in Kansas City. She remembered her father had to have a shotgun to keep them safe. "My parents gave us a fantastic sense of security and worth. By the time the bigots got around to telling us that we were nobody, we already knew we were somebody." As a young woman, she moved to Harlem and enrolled at Columbia. She was refused admission to their law school because she “was a woman.” She knew it was because she was black. So, she threatened to sue them and they admitted her. She was the only black person among the eight women in her class.
As an activist, she once said, "we have a pathologically, institutionally racist, sexist, classist society. And that niggerizing techniques that are used don't only damage black people, but they also damage women, gay people, ex-prison inmates, prostitutes, children, old people, handicapped people, native Americans. And that if we can begin to analyze the pathology of oppression… we would learn a lot about how to deal with it." As early as 1966, she was picketing and lobbying the media over their portrayal of Black people. She played a prominent role in the protest against the 1968 Miss America Pageant. After the Attica prison uprising, she said, “We do not support Attica. We ARE Attica.” She also participated in the 1973 protests at Harvard over the lack of women’s bathrooms. When asked why she participated in the pouring of urine on the steps of Lower Hall, she said, “I'm just a loud-mouthed middle-aged colored lady with a fused spine and three feet of intestines missing and a lot of people think I'm crazy. Maybe you do too, but I never stop to wonder why I'm not like other people. The mystery to me is why more people aren't like me.
In addition to her activism and legal work, Kennedy also acted in the films “The Landlord” (1970), adapted from Kristin Hunter's 1966 novel, and the independent political drama “Born In Flames” (1983), directed by Lizzie Borden. She also acted in “Who Says I Can't Ride a Rainbow” alongside Morgan Freeman.

"Our disquiet with a situation, with our interactions are dismissed as drama. Our lack of safety is ignored. So of course it isn't worth it.
So we carefully work in the shadows. Giving support to each other and counteract the gas lighting in our communities.
It's not drama. No you aren't imagining this.
Are you safe?"

BIPOC have said it over & over (before most of 'em left for Blue Sky), but if a white woman with lots of followers here here has just been driven into "taking a long break" because of the toxicity of the reply guys here, perhaps some of the white folks here might now be ready to realize that aspects of culture here on Mastodon can be really toxic and the tools for dealing with it are less robust here than what is reportedly available elsewhere. #Sexism #Racism #JustDebateMeBros

"Former Stanford professor Nathan Wolfe ’92 planned sexual behavior research, described interns with Epstein"
"Wolfe made his plans for a research study explicit in May 2013, writing to Epstein about testing “[their] horny virus hypothesis” with an experiment he believed would interest Epstein. A “real-time study in undergrads,” which he devised..."

#LLM proponents are disproportionately male, while critics or people who take a more sceptical stance do tend to be, in aggregate, more female and less binary in #gender on the whole. Sometimes this is innocuous, but other times it leads to things like Kat Marchin being driven off the internet thanks to relentless death threats over the Openslopware project. The point is that there's a noticeable asymmetry in the people who are for the use of coding agents as opposed to those who have a warier attitude to the tech, and that this asymmetry isn't exactly innocuous.
