The case of the posthumous video games:

The official @FortniteStatus X account, responding to another user, posted (archived) on Feb. 6 that a user changed their name to littlestjeff1 after the name surfaced in the Epstein files, saying in part, “Hey Official Fortnite here - this was a ruse by a Fortnite player. A few days ago, an existing Fortnite account owner changed their username from something totally unrelated to littlestjeff1, following the revelation of littlestjeff1 as a name on YouTube.”

The post also said none of Epstein’s email addresses listed in the public-facing case files exist in the game’s account system.

The case of the day-before-email:

From a DOJ spokesperson:

Official statements regarding the death of Jeffrey Epstein were edited and circulated over several email chains within the Southern District of New York beginning August 10, 2019. While initial drafts of the statement list the previous date, this was merely an unfortunate typo that was later updated to reflect the correct date before being publicized. Any suggestion that the Department drafted a statement in advance of Jeffrey Epstein’s death is false.

Also:

Searches for the Aug. 10 news release revealed correspondence between FBI staff on Aug. 10 about what appeared to be the finished news release that Biase sent. Searches of the DOJ’s database did not reveal records of DOJ, U.S. attorney’s office or FBI staff discussing the versions of the news release dated Aug. 9, suggesting it wasn’t circulated internally or externally in the DOJ before Epstein’s death.

We shouldn’t downplay it by calling it a Chinese outlet like it’s news. It’s Chinese state propaganda.

We should use the good source you cited instead of letting this Trojan horse through the gate.

BOOOOOOORRRRRING

Sorry, I wasn’t insisting that you knew about it. Enough time has passed that many haven’t heard of it because no one’s talking about it anymore. It was well-reported at the time though. An important reason it isn’t talked about anymore is that it was resolved a long time ago too.

Reposting this so it’s not buried in replies:

Unity News Network (UNN) is a conspiracy theory website headed by David Clews, a former Conservative and Labour councillor in Renfrewshire, Scotland.

Founded in 2018 by Clews and Carl Pearson, who was then UKIP’s Scottish youth leader, UNN built an audience by supporting the protest movement to free the anti-Muslim extremist Stephen Lennon (AKA Tommy Robinson) during his spell behind bars that year. The outlet’s following grew significantly after it began spreading conspiratorial content relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. At the time of writing, it has over 104,000 followers on Facebook, 90,000 on Twitter and 21,000 on Telegram.

While Pearson is no longer involved in the project, under Clews UNN has adopted an increasingly extreme outlook. For example, the outlet has promoted the White Genocide conspiracy theory and described the West as being in the grip of “cultural Marxist degeneracy”.

Clews has also established increasingly tight links to the UK’s extreme right, most notably speaking at the conferences of the neo-Nazi group Patriotic Alternative (PA) in 2022 and 2023. Regular UNN writer Niall McCrae also addressed the PA conference in 2024.

Everyone had heard about it. He said it on Howard Stern in 2003. Stern was king of the radio world and his show was being filmed at the time too. He reached millions of people. Tarantino has been a huge star since 1992 with everyone reporting his every word. Multiple major newspapers reported on his apology (including the one I linked to).

This is just some shitheel “news” organization repackaging this out of context into propaganda.

Why is this getting passed around now? Tarantino made those comments on a radio show in 2003. He apologized to Geimer for making them nearly a decade ago and she accepted his apology.

https://www.theguardian.com/film/2018/feb/08/quentin-tarantino-apologizes-for-polanski-defense-i-was-ignorant

“I want to publicly apologize to Samantha Geimer for my cavalier remarks on the Howard Stern Show speculating about her and the crime that was committed against her,” he wrote. “Fifteen years later, I realize how wrong I was. Ms Geimer WAS raped by Roman Polanski. When Howard brought up Polanski, I incorrectly played devil’s advocate in the debate for the sake of being provocative. I didn’t take Ms Geimer’s feelings into consideration and for that I am truly sorry. So, Ms Geimer, I was ignorant, and insensitive, and above all, incorrect.”

Get thee to mildly infuriating, you scoundrel!

You’d have to force carbonate with CO2. 40% ABV is way too high for fermentation.

This is some serious mission creep from the ‘slam’ weirdo community.

Probably nothing. What could he promise?

Given Denmark and Greenland seem to not have any idea what he’s talking about, this is most likely Trump caving and still trying to get a “Victory!” headline.

That’s not an effective test of whether this works. So no thank you, dear.

“Moderately confident”
“This is a BETA feature”

It’s like Kyiv/Kiev. Chernobyl is Russian; Chornobyl is Ukrainian.

It’s hard to say because the chuds are also extraordinarily stupid.

Macron, call sign Maverick. I don’t know if not looking like you could buzz the tower at any given moment is technically a medical condition but the glasses are working.

Four weeks with no reply? Fire away, I say.

Totally. It is a fun fact!
