FacebookGoogle+TwitterLinkedinemail Pablo Picasso Man with ice cream cone 1938 My first thought after reading about Jeffrey Epstein’s so-called suicide is: let it go, watch a movie instead, or go out to dinner.

FacebookGoogle+TwitterLinkedinemail Edward Hopper Ground swell 1939 The US government has to come up with very very strong legislation for social media, and it has to do that very soon. Because if it doesn’t, it risks those same social media inciting a civil war (that’s no hyperbole, that is real) on American soil. And beyond as well, but as Donald Trump said about European efforts to curtail Twitter, Facebook et al’s activities, they’re American companies and hence America’s responsibility. Well,
