Karl seems alright but he is more likely to be looking for something serious, after his wife left. I chose another woman when asked by the wife, so I can hopefully bring Debbie and other women into the relationship(maybe even eventually hate fucking Trish, even if our boy did fuck up losing a file, she still seems a bit too bitchy), even though all other choices I led her down the Daniel path.

Will PM you other stuff but since I screencapped this, will post it here.Įdit to add, just got to the Friday dinner with her boss and Daniel. Should have been the FMC meeting Heather at the door instead. I just noticed that during the FMC side of events, it shifted back to the MC perspective for one frame. Already finshed the "garbage" MC playthrough of this build.

Red Notice by Bill Browder Synopsis (an excerpt from Goodreads)Ī real-life political thriller about an American financier in the Wild East of Russia, the murder of his principled young tax attorney, and his dangerous mission to expose the Kremlin’s corruption.īill Browder’s journey started on the South Side of Chicago and moved through Stanford Business School to the dog-eat-dog world of hedge fund investing in the 1990s. Even when the author delved too deeply into financial, legal and illegal nitty gritty, it was still a page turner. Yet Red Notice by Bill Browder turned out to be a very interesting story.

He even released the text of what he said was an e-mail from someone who had been beaten up on the beach for reading one of his books. (Dershowitz denies the accusations.)ĭershowitz has lately been going on television and Twitter to discuss cancel culture, specifically how he has been shunned on Martha’s Vineyard, his longtime summer getaway. In 2019, Connie Bruck profiled Dershowitz for The New Yorker, and looked into allegations that he had sexually abused Virginia Giuffre, who was trafficked by Epstein. (He has defended both.) In recent years, however, his career has taken even more controversial turns, notably his public campaign against the Mueller investigation and his decision to join President Trump’s legal team.

(Of course if they love it let them read it every time they want to.) Each time it's read as the child grows she will get more out of it. I'd say, buy this book for a little one and share it every time Grandpa is expected for a visit, and then on the anniversary of his birthday if he dies before the child is grown. but this book has all that and more, and it just blows me away.
