I know Bill Gates’ spokeswoman’s said Gates was amused by Epstein’s “unique decor” in other contexts https://t.co/5GyimzjTp8, but these island rooms seem kind of…dreary. Not rooms you sit in to look out the window. What could you do to entertain yourself? Frisbee on the patio? https://t.co/gLLtPuQZoy

Key point of course, is that as far as we know *nothing happened*–i.e. he didn’t make a pass at her. He talked about it with his highly suspect buddy Epstein (half of me thinks he made it seem important to amuse and suck up to Epstein, from whom he wanted donations). https://t.co/aqvHnwEBOh
