She asked about WWI then naturally and I said it was too complicated so she settled on an explainer on why Russia is invading Ukraine which was a bit easier since it followed up on the Cold War explainer.

I spent my seven year olds bath time earlier this week explaining both WWII and the Cold War. She has been reading the I Survived comics and had lots of context questions.

Many relationships went far deeper than the occasional cocktail-party photograph. Epstein and Kathryn Ruemmler, the White House counsel under President Barack Obama, swapped 11,300 emails from 2014 to 2019, with at least one direct message on 70% of days. Ariane de Rothschild, a banking billionaire, sent or received 5,500 emails; Larry Summers, a former treasury secretary, 4,300. In some cases Epstein grew close to family members: he was in touch with both Noam Chomsky, a linguist, and his wife, Valeria, and chatted with Soon-Yi Previn, Woody Allen’s wife, more than with Mr Allen himself.

Schmitt literally lives in the most affluent suburb of St. Louis and has been a city boy his whole life. I was canvassing his polling place last election and saw him vote. He has never touched a cow in his life. Being a Republican is all affect.
