@noelcaslercomedy.bsky.social ICYMI: Epstein claimed he had been working with Vitaly Churkin, the Russian Ambassador to UN who died kinda young and suddenly in his office. He was one of the "9 prominent dead Russians" in a CNN story around that time.

I don’t post on twitter any more, but I access it periodically for reference. @noelcaslercomedy.bsky.social has always been up front about The Apprentice “star” so I revisited one of his posts from a couple of years ago. I’ll remove this if he objects, but for now, here it is. Prophetic, isn’t it?!

It’s useful for people of my generation to be reminded that this wasn’t that long ago. Ruby Bridges isn’t just still alive—she’s only 71, not ancient!
65 years ago on Nov. 14, little Ruby Bridges was escorted into an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Norman Rockwell, renowned for blissful depictions of Americana, did this remarkable painting for Look magazine. Printed as a double page, over-size spread, it's his masterpiece.
