  • I've overlooked the occasional ridiculous and uninformed opinion for years because, hey, whatever, nobody's perfect. But they're straight-up spreading blood libel in recent episodes. What the actual fuck...

  • Keep it up! 6 out of 5

    I have loved you babes for years. Period. But this series of

    Epstein episodes has been exceptional. This is Sinisterhood at its best. It has been a consistently satisfying source of sanity, facts, and compassion. I am so with you, Christie and Heather. Keep. It. Up.
