JOE.MY.GOD.: Remember how Roseanne Barr and other Q Anon nutjobs thought Trump was helping to free child sex slaves around the world ... secretly? Well, maybe not. His Labor Secretary, Alex Acosta, is now caught up in that scandal involving serial sex abuser Jeffrey Epstein getting a barely illegal deal from prosecutors years ago.

Trump, who hung out with Epstein socially.

For me, sharing and enjoying images of beauty doesn't make me hate myself (though I'm the first to admit I have what I would consider an average amount of issues with how I look), it's escapist and an appreciation and a marveling at the ability of the human body.
If that makes someone sad about their body, that's on them. Also, I would argue that any patting on Sam Smith's back for posting the following daring photo actually feeds into his body dysmorphia — there is nothing brave about looking this good and taking your shirt off:
KENNETH IN THE (212): Fuck it — tell me Sam Smith wouldn't fit right in on this cover:
