What strikes me about these Epstein materials - there are really no surprises. The 1000+ victims have already named all these men.
Even Bill Gates. His wife publicly said she divorced him because of his relationship with Epstein.
We just don't believe women, systemically.

Been putting off a long (4 hour), dirty (cement), job for about 8 months.
Finally did it.
Long? Took me 40 minutes, including prep & cleaning time.
Dirty? I had to wash my hands and throw my pants into the laundry.

Governments do what they are *told* to do by the capitalist lobby.
When 97% is 'no clear consensus', and 52% is 'the will of the people', it's time to face facts that Governments do what Governments want to do regardless of what their people actually want.

The #MyXboxStory @trueachievements.com is kinda funky!
Can't believe I have a 44% completion rate though. 🤯
(And not to mention the £13k worth of games... 😬)

Whilst I'd played computer games before the Master System (BBCs, Intellivision) this was the first console that was "mine", purchased as a surprise Christmas present for me by my Dad.
And I *loved* it. I can hand on heart say this console is the reason I got into gaming. It was amazing.
