Why am I reading the Epstein files? I feel dirty. I want to throw up now. I’m DONE. This is so dark and disgusting, I do not have the stomach for this. Please send me your best mind eraser remedies. I am no longer curious after reading this. 🤢

I’m being forcibly evacuated from my house so Edison electric can helicopter in a new power line behind my house. They said the operation will have 5 guards to protect the perimeter and I do not have the option to be anywhere near my property. I’m sure this is how things are done but never have I ever experienced anything like this and I’m naturally suspicious.

GM Nostr. My most recent work project had me thinking about Marie Antoinette. I thought about how her character was assassinated (and we all know this resulted in her actual death) by highlighting her decadence as the reason for France’s bankruptcy, but how it was actually caused by decades of wars including the support of the American Revolution. Anyway, what I thought about quite a bit was the village she constructed on the grounds of Versailles the Hameau de la Reine (The Queen’s Hamlet). She was deeply influenced by philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who argued that people should return to nature to find true virtue. She wore muslin dresses and entertained guests at intimate dinners. Political rivals accused her of cosplaying as a peasant while the real ones starved. It was built as a place of peace but it became a primary weapon against her. The Queen’s Hamlet is one of the earliest examples of escapist architecture. It shows a fundamental human need to reconnect with natural textures like stone, wood, and water (and muslin dresses) when life becomes too synthetic or high pressure. During the French Revolution, while the palace was looted, the Hamlet was largely spared because it was actually a useful, productive farm. It fell into ruin afterward but was later restored by Napoleon and again by John D. Rockefeller in the 1920s.
