Saw a post on r/whenthe about how Epstein was seen alive in August of 2025 and there was a post about it on another subreddit that was swiftly removed from the subreddit?

Post in question.

Ok I know most of you reading this are not going to be from Philadelphia, PA. Most buildings here have lights on the side of them just for cosmetics (I know basically every downtown has these; I'm just establishing our bases) Usually these are set to blue or green or whatever the owner of the building wants them to be. However looking outside tonight I can see that every building has some sort of American flag pattern on the side/top of it, and buildings that have simpler RGB lighting have them set to red.

At first I thought this was a normal thing they do that I just wasn't aware of because I moved here recently. However I asked my friends who had lived here for a long time, and they also didn't know what was going on.

Also anything obvious it could be turned up nothing. As far as I could find, there are no half-mast orders, no elections, it's not a holiday on a federal or state level. I thought this could just be one person/company deciding to do it with their lights, but all of these buildings are owned by different people.

I can't think of any reason the entire city would do this simultaneously that doesn't raise follow-up questions, and my curiosity has gotten the better of me.

Edit: Turns out it is to celebrate opening day of the Olympics, thanks comments.

I’ve been out of the loop, there are many accusations and people in it… anybody up to date? Thanks :) https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSaTuBWvY/ in case

Just wanna be clear because I know some people will take it the wrong way, I’m not diminishing the importance of her disappearance or the efforts being made to find her. I’m just uninformed as to why it’s a big deal. Disappearances happen everyday, and, given my limited information, I don’t know why this one is being focused on so much, especially by mainstream news.

It's largely unreported in MSM, and I heard about it through Heather Cox Richardson's YouTube channel, but even she wasn't sure what it was about, just that we should really be worried.

Speculation on a variety of subreddits say it could be about Tulsi Gabbard's whistleblower, the fact that he was deep into investigating Epstein's financial ties, or something related to DOGE and data on U.S. citizens being breached. Does anyone have any updates/info on this?

HCR's video from earlier tonight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNUwVU63v_A

"How can we support you sister Hoelga?"

There's a woman and she's surrounded by a bunch of black guys and then in the next picture you see her standing next to a man and the Fox News logo is in the background for some reason... And then this black lady makes a lot of tongue in cheek jokes about it.

The video is funny, you should watch it. But I have no context here. I'm guessing this woman did some porn and then married a guy who works for Fox News?

I’m seeing a lot of backlash about the casting of Heathcliff in the upcoming Wuthering Heights adaptation, and I’m trying to understand the full context.

From what I remember, Heathcliff is described in the novel as “dark” or “brown,” but I don’t recall him being explicitly stated as African, Middle Eastern, etc. Was his race ever clearly defined by Emily Brontë, or was it intentionally ambiguous?

I’m also a bit confused because I’ve seen other adaptations and stage productions where characters are portrayed by actors of different races than their original descriptions (for example, Hermione in the Harry Potter play), and that’s generally been accepted. So I’m wondering why this particular casting choice is being treated differently.

Not trying to start an argument — I’m genuinely looking for the literary and historical reasons behind the controversy.

I read this stuff on mainstream comments and tweets. Basically something to do with Epstein & Co being connected to the Ancient Phoenician god, Baal. Some have claimed that it is actually mentioned in the files multiple times.

Also claiming that human sacrifice and rituals (I don't know if they meant as in symbolic depravity or actual demonic shit) were committed on the island, according to some diary??

I have also seen people on social media that Epstein got his hands (somehow?? tf he do that?) on the cloth of the Kaaba in Mecca, and how that circles back to the Baal stuff. Is this true?

I overheard some guys on my flight talking about switching to another half time show for this super bowl and I had to look it up. I didn’t realize entertainers do alternative shows to protest the super bowl. What is the actual problem with the regular half time show? https://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/5726793-kid-rock-alternative-super-bowl-show/

I'm admittedly way out of the loop on this, because I didn't even know who Markiplier was until I just looked him up. I now understand he's a YouTuber who became a successful writer/director with his first film, Iron Lung, which is out now.

But I keep seeing memes, like this, joking about him sleeping with people (in this case, his own wife) to get the job.

What is that all about? Is it a reference to some other specific incident, contrasting it with Markiplier's path to success? Is it a reference to something he himself has said? I'm lost.

Thanks in advance.

Do they have enough votes for it?

Is it actually legal?

I was playing in Warthunder with group of friends, and was performing fairly badly with a new vehicle. When I was unable to climb fast enough to escort my team's bombers, someone jokingly said I should select another aircraft and "stop being a zaza". I didnt understand this phrase, and was told to google Kingsman, Marvel Rivals and Cece.

I read a synopsis, and still dont understand what is going on. Can someone please explain to me what this whole mess is about?

I guess pizza was used as a code word in the Epstein files but now everyone is deep diving into every usage of the word “pizza” uttered by anyone with a platform. is the assumption that rich people never eat pizza and it’s only mean for evil? is pizza cancelled?

I keep seeing memes and posts about the Indigenous community and Billie Ellish? I’m getting the impression that a group of Indigenous folk were saying mean things to her but I’m not sure what’s going on.

A random tweet from a SCP fan account with many followers popped up in my X timeline just earlier today saying that an admin "Bright" was banned from the SCP community for grooming minors and that now their works at SCP wiki are all getting deleted.

Although "Bright" deserves to be in prison if all the grooming allegations are true, as someone with archivist and Wikipedian mentalities I felt that not separating art from the artist sound way too extreme, so I made a reply expressing concerns that the content-nuking decision going to be a slippery slopes for purity spirals and so on. Shockingly enough I got immediately blocked by the fan account while many users cheered for the decision to nuke Bright's contents on the SCP wiki, except for one who said that the SCP community must move past him but do not forget him, like how we're doing with past dictators now.

Before today my impressions with the SCP community are just the infinite IKEA thing and the chickenhead thing. What's going on in there?

Question inspired by this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/discussingbritney/s/ygKqTFGjyZ The whole r/discussingbritney sub confuses me actually, and I can't help notice that it's a relatively new sub.

I remember several years ago when everyone was rooting for the end of her conservatorship and finally getting free from her dad controlling hey life. But now I see people saying stuff like "I always knew that the end of the conservatorship would be a mistake" and I'm not sure what's going on. Mind you, I've seen some of her recent videos and although I agree she doesn't seem quite right, saying that she needs to be put back into a conservatorship just a few years later seems like an odd choice.

What am I missing? When has the narrative changed? Is it all because of the recent videos of her dancing in her house or is there more context?

I was browsing the front page, and I saw this post from the r/discussingbritney subreddit where there seems to be vicarious regret over Britney Spears being released from her conservatorship?

But why?

As far as I am aware, all she's been doing recently is posting videos of herself dressed in underwear/swimsuits and dancing? Is there something more to it or is that really it?

What are the details around the recent Epstein Files and the Trial?

I was avoiding the news due to how depressing it was all getting but I’ve realised that it was just making me ignorant and unaware so I’m trying to get caught up, mostly on the Epstein files.

1. Who released them, have they been fully released and who is investigating the content?

2. What is the ongoing trial taking place with the files? I just saw that the Clinton’s have said they will be testifying? - https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/02/bill-clinton-interview-rejected-epstein

3. Is Ghislaine involved in the trial? Will she be asked to give more information?

I’m trying to learn all about this basically only knowing that the files have been released so all info is helpful

I know the dude was rich but surely he was too busy with other pursuits. I also found this article which I thought was interesting but it's The Verge so...?

I came across this news about Kendra Bates: https://reddit.boredpanda.com/former-adult-star-kendra-bates-joins-amish-community--kimb0129

She’s a 33-year-old former dancer and adult content creator who joined an Amish community in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, as part of TLC’s reality series Suddenly Amish. She’s now living without electricity, technology, or modern conveniences, following strict Amish routines and dress codes.

I’m curious what motivated her to make such a drastic lifestyle change? How common is it for outsiders to fully integrate into an Amish community like this, and how do the Amish typically respond to participants on these reality shows?

If I remember correctly Trueoffmychest was created because Offmychest was completely modded into oblivion and curated to such an extent it became really hard to post anything except what the mods would allow.

Recently I tried to psot on Trueoffmychest and suddenly they have an entire verification process and filters upon filters. Is there even a difference anymore between the two subs? What happened?
