    Jonathan Swift must have really wanted to cannibalize poor children!

    I’ll never forget bringing that up in a classroom and realizing adults had no idea it was satire.

      … This isn’t satire and King is in the Epstein files.

      This isn’t the only pedophile adjacent thing he’s written by the way, not even close.

        Did I say King’s writing was satire? I said Jonathan Swift’s short story was satire.

        As for King being in the Epstein files, do you have a source for this? I can’t seem to find it.

              Looks like I misremembered. Specifically, he tweeted that the Epstein list is as real as the tooth fairy and Santa Claus.

              Downplaying the existence of a list of highly likely pedophiles doesn’t really put you in a good light. :/ But he never directly defended Epstein, as far as I can see. That’s my error.
