As the world now knows, one of the more surprising names to have popped up around Jeffrey Epstein is Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates.
It’s been widely reported that Gates had flown on Epstein’s plane at least once, and visited his home multiple times — but the depth of their relationship is not fully known, and more details are emerging. The media is rife with speculation that one cause of Gates’ recent divorce from his wife Melinda was his relationship with Epstein.

The title of Bill Gates’ new book – How to Avoid a Climate Disaster — is very Bill Gates-ian. Above everything else, Gates is an engineer, a man who sees a problem and immediately wonders how to fix it. Gates’ world is rational, logical, and, in a deep but not simple way, optimistic. After all, if a problem is fixable, you just have to find the best tools for the job and get it done.
In his new book, Gates takes on the mother of all problems: the climate crisis. He...

“No one expected a sequel to 2005’s The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl, but We Can Be Heroes proves it was a good idea. Robert Rodriguez’s new film creatively expands the world first established in the original movie and upgrades the action sequences and special effects.”

In 2003, journalist Vicky Ward wrote a colorful and lengthy profile of millionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein for Vanity Fair. Back before Epstein became heavily embroiled in a sex-trafficking ring that sent him to jail more than once, Epstein was a mere financial mastermind with his hands deep in working with some of the world's most high-profile businessmen. The profile, which features much of the content also depicted in Netflix's Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich documentary, just barely touches on Epstein's history of women. That story will play out more on screen, but it bears noting that Ward said years later that she wanted to go into more detail about allegations against Epstein in her Vanity Fair piece, but was blocked by her editors. She said she had on-the-record allegations from three accusers who said they were involved in a sex scandal with Epstein. Vanity Fair's...

30 Rock is airing on Wednesday night this week. How's that for a twist?
Happy Halloween, everybody!

There was definite drama among Community fans yesterday after news spread that the fourth season would debut on Canadian TV on November 9, while U.S. viewers had no premiere date to anticipate. Gawker went on to speculate that this might kill the show as fans would torrent the Canadian episodes and not watch the show on NBC, sinking the ratings. However, the announcement disappeared from CityTV's website and NBC announced that Community will return in February, so fans stopped feeling like they had been told that the dress of life doesn't come in their size.
Speaking of NBC's midseason schedule the Peacock network is taking a risk by putting Revolution on hiatus until March (so that it can be accompanied by the fourth season of The Voice). The common wisdom says that audiences...

CBS ‘Two and a Half Men.’
Before it was published last year, Modernist Cuisine, a 2,400 page, 47-pound , five volume food science cookbook co-written by Nathan Myhrvold, former chief technology officer of Microsoft, drew smirks. What exactly, pundits asked, was the target market for a $450 cookbook? Who but a small cadre of professionals wanted to understand the thermodynamics of a broiler or how to make carrot butter in a centrifuge?
At least 45,000 buyers worldwide is the answer, Mr. Myhrvold said when...
