Thank you for sharing this and for taking the time to review the book. I worried about this book a lot and I hope it was in some way useful. Look forward to reading more of your work in future

Jeffrey Epstein sent $75,000 to Lord Mandelson linked accounts, documents appear to show Lord Mandelson says he has no record or recollection of receiving the sums and does not know if the documents are authentic.

If someone has no recollection of receiving $75,000, they probably have way too much money bbc.com/news/article...

I have no research-informed insight, just another right-wing politician looking as if he might have shat himself in an example of body language gone rogue

If you are eating pre-prepared lasagne that you bought in a supermarket, you're already beyond help. Go to Italy, eat proper nice pasta and then your standards will be forever higher

You can also use white vinegar (but I suppose it might have the same risk as salt of affecting surrounding plants or contaminating the soil for a while - don't know).

NYC people--early voting is on! May I suggest you include Zohran Mamdani in your choice of five candidates. And it's especially important that you not rank Cuomo at all. Unlike Cuomo, Mamdani LIKES New York City and its residents.
