@bethmacy.bsky.social Did you see the Politico article listed on the DrudgeReport as a to be read article! It was yesterday.

Trump and Epstein shared women. And children. www.thedailybeast.com/i-know-why-d...

@lauralippman.bsky.social Days like this I really miss MEMORIES.

How much do we miss Al Franken and Sherrod Brown right now? If those 2 great minds and hearts were still in the Senate, the republic might survive.

Great article "Classic Crime Novels Reissued" by @sarahweinman.com Made me think about the mysterious Mr. Hitchkock and the magnificent Mr Niven ( yeah, I know, a movie.)

Congratulations to Jeff Heller for being chosen as one of the 20 top memoirs of 2025. So cool so happy for you. @jeffheller.bsky.social

As we mourn Rob Reiner, don’t skip this: he was, pretty much, personally responsible for overturning California’s Prop 8 banning same sex marriage. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

Finally! Justice Sandra Day O'Connor was very active with the Trust. Wonder is any current Supremes are?

Who is Robert St. Lawrence? Why are we always following the same people?

Cool,

Oh, Mr. Simon, sometimes you are unimpeachable, remarkable and a lifeline to at least a grin. Thanks

Pete Hegseth (what kind of name is that anyway?) is giving alcohol recovery a very bad name. there are so many brave and good sober alcoholics. I hope that Pete Hegseth’s dry drunk (or full on wet drunk) behavior does not affect the recovering or their reputation. For sure, he’s no 12 stepper.

It's the first Tuesday of the month and the last newsletter of the year (maybe), free and almost worth the price. Click through for my Italy idyll, a gratuitous selfie, a tiny elegy to a great writer, and a chance to win the Mystery Box. lauramlippman.substack.com/p/cara-mia

Luckily, there are decent FBI agents and counsel who will expose this hideous behavior. The saying is, it's not the crime that does you in, it's the coverup. In this case, it is both.

It's 75 degrees inside my house this afternoon. Blue Ridge Mountains. Heat turned off. So weird.

A #metoo must read! Excellent blend of historical facts and outrage.

Hi, THE KILLING KIND is $.99 on US Amazon Prime today. AP sent me a notice. How many Kindle books would you have to sell to get a new lamp? I'm doing my part, lol.

@lauralippman.bsky.social This is for you!

Oh, my goodness. What a wonderful summer delight. Mrs Blossom, we've missed you.

Happy Obama Appreciation Day.

15 people became statistics last week from Fentanyl ODs. Narcan shortage.

Big week. Fave @lauralippman.bsky.social and another fave John Sandford are getting big awards. Enjoy this honor. So deserved.

First time I went to Europe, I bought a maple leaf pin off a hippie entrepreneur. He was doing a great biz selling hash and pins.

Too bad it will be dumped.

Heartbreaking.

Great news for @lauralippman.bsky.social Happy for you.

I think that won't be true until the next decade. Wish DJT did not have the constitution of a cockroach. He has surpassed his life expectancy given his diet, weight, and complacency.

Restoring is impossible. We have to rebuild anew.

I heard there were no active cases in the world.

Still don’t get his pathology ? Worst thing is for smart people to challenge this psychopath. Fuels his madness. Stop making it worse, people.

This is... actually a fairly reasonable takeaway from this year.
