I write horror and crime fiction, live in Brooklyn and love cooking and martial arts. My wife is the actress Linda Jones and our dog is half pit, half Dutch shepherd and all clown. Though I may wince, you really can choose any pizza toppings you like.

On Dec. 8, 2015, Jeffrey Epstein offers a NY Times reporter photos of Donald Trump and "girls in bikinis in my kitchen." Epstein tells the reporter that he "gave" Trump his "20 year old girlfriend...after two years."
When people looked into these type of rumors the Times smugly criticized them.

I am calling upon the people of Ireland to immediately begin construction of a thread on this site about how you or someone you know was roasted for a fashion choice. We need it.
All roasts must have come from Irish people *only*. Please respect this important rule, it makes a difference.

Thomas Massie to CNN on the Epstein files: "This vote is gonna be on your record for longer than Trump is gonna be president. And what are you gonna do in 2028 and 2030 when you're in a debate … and they say, 'How can we trust you? You covered up for a pedophile back in 2025.'"

Maybe it's time to make more noise about this? Last spring a thousand agents frantically redacted all mentions of Trump's name in the Epstein files. How does that square with what can and will be released?
FBI agents were told to 'flag' any Epstein records that mentioned Trump, Sen. Durbin says
President Donald Trump, bowing to days of pressure, asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to get grand jury testimony about Jeffrey Epstein unsealed.

This is the most insane shit. Epstein advised the Trump admin on how to discredit Kavanaugh’s accuser so he could get a Supreme Court seat? I’ve been losing my mind all day.
Jeffrey Epstein advised Steve Bannon that the lawyers representing Brett Kavanaugh in his confirmation hearing should accuse Christine Blasey Ford of being on medications that cause false memories or memory loss.

The New York Times had this information about Epstein and Trump a year before the 2016 election, and said "but her emails is a more interesting topic."
It was misogyny—the publication actively helped derail Hillary Clinton's campaign—but it really does look like catch and kill, too.

In fact, B&N has been expanding rather a bit recently; their sales are up and they've refreshed their stores. And independent books stores have been growing in numbers too! It's been quite a turnaround for brick and mortar bookstores in the last couple of years. I hope it lasts.
