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.

BOOOOOOORRRRRING

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.

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

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.

Totally. It is a fun fact!

He’s currently Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs.

And in case anyone reading takes her professional credentials to be “wife” instead of just taking it as a fun fact, she’s a renowned journalist, a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, and one of the world’s most important experts on modern authoritarianism. wiki

I wouldn’t be so sure that climate change and fascism are completely unrelated.

The administration is made up of the dumbest motherfuckers to have ever walked the Earth.

haha oh man what a loser

tl;dr It seems sketchy.

The founder of notice news (and author of this story), Andrew Springer, is a real dude. He seems to have mostly worked at news organizations running their social media. He claims to be an “emmy and peabody award-winning journalist,” but he was not working as a journalist when either of those awards were won. In 2012, Good Morning America won an emmy. He was a “social media producer.” In 2013, ABC News won a Peabody for Hurricane Sandy coverage. Again, he was a social media producer. His bio/CV is here.

Looking at his author page on that site, they claim that he’s published nearly 20 stories in the last 48 hours. Seems unrealistic. Plagiarism? AI? Both seem more likely to me. They don’t have an entry with any bias monitoring organization that I can find.

As for Voldeng, I can’t find much on her but she seems like a bit of a grifter. This is her bio on her brand page:

I create what others often call impossible. I stand for my brand. I build to protect. And I protect what I know in my own knowing way, is right for me to protect.

My work spans every sweep of civilization, and beyond.

From advertising, aerospace, defense, education, energy, environment, finance, governance, law, media, science, and technology, to realms of sheer starlit wonder.

She does it all!

She sells access to different tiers (prices not listed) of “The Knight League”, which is described like this:

The League of the Almighty, on Earth.

It is a fellowship and a calling. Where warrior knights are trained in courage, discipline, and joy. Where oaths matter, crests are borne with honour, and training is effortless lived practice. Where knights rise — noble, ferocious, joyful, Jedi-esque — to stand for something higher. The Most High.

What the fuck is the Knight League? No idea. All her descriptions are master classes in assembling words to say next to nothing. The link that @[email protected] posted is another great example. I have no idea what it is but I know it wants your money.

I’d be very skeptical of either of those people in terms of vetting sources or doing serious journalism.

Twitter ghouls.

I think it’s more like news analysis than straight news or opinion. The line for me is that it’s bringing together recent reporting to get a sense of what Europe will or could do rather than making an argument for what Europe should do.

Yeah, it’s really making CSAM production a subscription service. Vile.

I updated the archive link. The caption’s gone now.

Oh weird. It looks like maybe it was a mistake they corrected. It’s on the archived page but not the actual page.
