On the subject of Ted Kaczynski and people in the Epstein files, I get an opportunity to revive this old limerick:

Lewinsky and Clinton have shown,
what Kaczynski must surely have known:
That an intern is better
than a bomb in a letter
of the possible ways to be blown.

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 3 points 1 week ago

Oh, '90s. You were a simpler time.

[-] not_IO@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 week ago

the dream of the 90s is alive on Lemmy

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

We could still make limericks about current-day atrocities if we wanted to.

[-] abigscaryhobo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Trump and Epstein they knew,

The most terrible things they could do,

Defile young kids, for the highest bids,

Then pass the bill on to you.

[-] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

He also bombed a campus police officer, multiple passenger planes, two store owners, etc.

There isn't praiseworthy fiber in this man, he needed help and pity.

[-] ImWaitingForRetcons@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

It’s less about showing him to be even vaguely moral, and proving that the US government is supremely corrupt and immoral.

[-] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 0 points 1 week ago

The meme, maybe, but the fucking post title says "W for Uncle Ted"

[-] blujan@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

It's a W when compared to the american government in this one specific instance

[-] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online -1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

A horrible attrocity is not a W "compared to" other things.

Bombing a large number of random people isn't justified if one of them turns out to be a piece of shit 16 years later.

[-] mike_hunt@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

Well, has anyone tried looking these people up in the Epstein files yet?

[-] Cypher@aussie.zone 1 points 1 week ago

He’s really good at maths

[-] jambudz@lemmy.zip -1 points 1 week ago

He was American! He was good at math! :p

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

Can you blame a guy for spiraling after being MK Ultra'ed?

[-] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online -1 points 1 week ago

I couldn't praise him, no.

[-] suddenlyme@lemmy.zip -1 points 1 week ago

Its still a valid conversation

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

In another post, I mentioned that he may have been correct all along, and the people he targeted had it coming, except for the innocent ones. Ted was a bit sloppy in that regard.

I got savagely downvoted.

[-] aaa999@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

This is typical of far right dipshits though. 1. vaguely identify an actual observable problem that any fuckup can see 2. be wrong about a bunch of stuff 3. murder

[-] ReverendIrreverence@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Uncle Ted was the polar opposite of a "far right dipshit" though unless I am missing something

[-] nomy@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

That's exactly what he was. He spent half of Industrial Society and Its Future railing against the left and arguing that it was a psychological phenomenon linked to a "need for power".

He liked the environment, that was about the only "left" thing about him.

Yall need to do more research before you jump on a bandwagon.

[-] Redjard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago

The people were guilty except for the innocent ones?

[-] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

"I aced that test! As long you don't count the answers I got wrong..."

[-] edm@thelemmy.club 1 points 1 week ago

Not that different from all the innocents the US gov has murdered. We literally just watched ICE gun down two citizens in Minnesota and per usual nothing will happen or change.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago

Yep, pretty much. Seems like unassailable logic to me.

[-] Redjard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 1 week ago

Do you have a list of innocents and guilties, preferably with some notes as to why for guilty ones? Or maybe a link to your mentioned comment?

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today -1 points 1 week ago

Nah, I'm busy. You know how to use Google.

[-] gnutrino@programming.dev 3 points 1 week ago

Presumably a reference to David Gelernter for anyone else wondering.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 5 points 1 week ago

In one 2011 email, Gelernter recommended an undergraduate student to Epstein for an editorial position in part because she was a "v[ery] small goodlooking blonde".

Fucking psychopath. Not sorry Ted blew off his jerk-off hand.

[-] its_prolly_fine@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

telling colleagues that he was "very glad [he] wrote the note" and that Epstein "...was obsessed with girls (like every other unmarried billionaire in Manhattan; in fact, like every other heterosex[ual] male), and if I hadn't said what I did in that letter ten-odd years ago, he would certainly have called me & asked for a lot more aesthetic detail. (This is how men behave.)

His response to the backlash is insane.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah, THAT'S normal.

[-] Fmstrat@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

For those who go down the rabbit hole:

  • Wikipedia still lists him as employed at Yale
  • Yale's faculty page still has him listed
  • He was very recently relieved from teaching duties while Yale reviews the emails that happened after Epstein's conviction
  • He rates last out of 82 computer science professors at Yale
[-] andros_rex@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I’m wondering why he had a job to begin with. Being against women in the workforce should preclude you from being allowed to teach women who might enter the workforce.

With professors like that, it’s no wonder that there’s a dearth of women in CS.

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 0 points 1 week ago

It's not much better once you get into the workforce. Unfortunately. And so much of the misogyny is invisible to men until it's pointed out to them explicitly.

But I agree:

If you believe that members of the opposite sex should not be permitted to be working, you should not be permitted to work outside of occupations which are necessarily restricted by sex.

Similarly, if you don't think think you should have to work with brown people, disabled people, foreign people....

[-] andros_rex@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

The boy who was in charge of my robotics club believed that girls can’t program and refused to teach or help me (I remember that I “looked too confused” to be helped out with enums….) . I remember once, I was playing with some Java code at lunch, and him and the other coders all stopped to mock how shitty a programmer I was because they saw a bunch of squiggly red lines (hadn’t loaded in all the libraries, just was curious what mobile video game coding looked like).

It was so goddamn isolating as a high schooler. Being a weirdo computer geek, but not welcome with the other weirdo computer geeks because of my sex.

[-] xkbx@startrek.website 1 points 1 week ago

Thanks. I tried looking at the people the Unabomber killed and I couldn’t find shit

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I was wondering how a bomber could bring someone to justice before the crimes happened

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 2 points 1 week ago

I'm going to guess not all these guys suddenly became pedophiles after meeting Epstein.

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

it's more "I don't think epstein was active when the unabomber was killing people" so the dead people were visiting the island? Oh , he injured someone that went on to go to epstein island, thus , no time paradox.

[-] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Dude was ahead of the curve. I sing his praises here at least once a week.

[-] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

What proof is there that Ted Kaczynski actually got anyone in the Epstein files?

[-] Redjard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago

One case mentioned further up is David Gelernter, who survived with permanent injuries and shows up in the Epstein files to the point of it now ending his career.

This is however well after the attacks, the Unabomber predates the timespan we have significant information about. Given the wiki entry of that David Gelernter, I wouldn't be surprised if he shows up in some analog Epstein documents we don't yet know about.

I checked another random victim and found no info at all at a glance though, so I'm not convinced on the unabomber picking targets based on this, which seems like what some others here are claiming. Could just be a by-chance hit. If you bomb people you dislike I suppose you'll have an increased chance of targetting pedos by intuition.
