Maybe what your fiction-loving medieval curious friend/relation/acquaintance needs for the holidays is a copy of my The Queen’s Companion. Crusades! Eleanor of Aquitaine! Famine! Sea voyages!

I don't mean to seem alarmed, but it appears Google's book search function is, just...gone.

In a sane country it would be a huge deal, front page news, that a privately owned utility that millions researches, from journalists to scholars, rely on every day to advance knowledge can just disappear.

Q: Do you plan on tearing the Kennedy Center down and how much will all of the renovations cost?

TRUMP: Probably around $200 million. I'm not ripping it down. I'll be using the steel. So we're using the structure. We're using some of the marble.

Let’s not forget that Pam Bondi, along with Alex Acosta, architected Epstein’s “sweetheart deal” in Florida, (2005) giving Epstein a slap on the wrist.

Former housekeeper told PBPD Epstein would have "two massages a day."

You know, folks, I did mass wartime rape cases as a part of my human rights work, and the scale of this is starting to feel quite comparable.

This shit is really hard to read. Girls crying hysterically during interviews as they tell PBPD that Epstein had molested them over and over and over again.

2005. He was 51-52 at the time. It is all monstrous. And Trump was still his best friend.

I think the disconnect between Atlantic elites is that Americans think Donald Trump is a kid getting to drive a monster truck for Make A Wish and Europeans and Canadians think Donald Trump is the president of the United States.

The Internet Medieval Sourcebook is 30 year old today. with an inception date of 26th January 1996.

It turns out that although not in any sense breaking new scholarship, it remains my most longstanding contribution to the republic of letters.
