We all use social media for different reasons; I see here as my virtual office/street, where we can chat about history, archaeology, warhammer, wargaming, sci-fi, music, culture... in short, pretty much anything! I generally follow back (technical competence notwithstanding 🤭) so, welcome all!

Epstein’s brother Mark tells Chris Cuomo that the reason the Trump administration is finally releasing the Epstein files is because they’ve been “sanitized.”
Quoting “a pretty good source,” he says “they’re scrubbing the files to take Republican names out.”
“Jeffrey definitely had dirt on Trump.“
