“Dan Reed says the success of the Michael Jackson biopic is proof ‘people don’t care that he was a child molester’”
Not to split hairs but I don’t remember Jackson having a corpse disposal ocean trap door or having extensive email chains with people that really make it look like he was eating human flesh
Still fucking disgusting that his estate is acting like this though
Oh you don’t like Jeffrey Epstein? Then why are you still listening to his music?
Say what you will about Epstein, but his work with the Beatles was legendary.
I’m watching The Expanse (sci-fi movie) and every time they say “Epstein drive” (what they call warp drives, except it’s not warp speed) I wonder if the two guys who make up the pseudonym James S. A. Corey are in the Epstein Files… or if S. A. stands for what I think it does. (Expanse/Corey fans about to blow up on me, but you gotta admit naming your warp drive after Jeffrey Epstein is cringey and edgelord as fuck!)
Amazing show but the name of the engines everyone uses has literally aged like milk. Also, the show is not that old.
I mean the first Expanse book was published in 2011 well before Epstein was any kind of household name, I seriously doubt it was named after him, its a pretty old Jewish surname
I’m still not quite sure if this is a bit, but the name is not uncommon. Specifically, there have been many notable figures with that surname in the fields of physics and mathematics.
Still, it’s aged like milk. I’m currently reading Hyperion by Dan Simmons (1989) and the drives in that book are called Hawking Drives. Way cooler — though, I think there were also some allegations against Stephen Hawking.
Hitler was an artist, but it’s not what he’s remembered for. (I’ll never forget the Justified episode about the Jewish art collector who collected Hitler’s art. I won’t spoil the ending, but it was very educational and the ending was very fitting.) Now, Hitler has family living in the west. They’ve since changed their name. The name is tainted and it may always be. I’m not sure it’ll be okay for someone to be named Hitler in 500 years. But who knows. I think if a “Hitler” cured cancer, he or she wouldn’t attribute it to that name.
Yeah it’s fucked up, just because of the sheer number of scientific discoveries by Epsteins. Then this guy comes along and now the name is only associated with him and his crimes.
Also, I thought of a common one: Epstein-Barr.
I don’t want to make light of the situation, but since you mentioned it, there is a certain dark humour in the fact that the Epstein-Barr virus is transmitted mainly via kissing.
You have to learn to separate the art from the artist.
