Just wanted to say a quick thank you to everyone who has supported my work and to offer a discount membership through the New Year for those who want to convert their subscriptions to paid memberships.
In just a few short weeks, you have helped me build Bette Dangerous’ membership to 355 global subscribers and counting. You words of encouragement have meant everything to me. I do believe reader-funded investigative reporting is the future, and you are proof of the model. I am also grateful to have a home for my Hollywood memories. I worked this town for decades as a nightlife columnist and will never run out of material. Thank you for being my captive audience.
I am going to go back to reading the 845-page January 6 Committee Report and will be reporting my findings here. In addition, if you get a chance, please read my report from today in Byline Supplement on Gastronativism, about the politics of food. Think, ‘borscht wars’ and culinary power struggles. At the bottom of the report is a preview of my radio interview on the year in politics. I hope you like it.
Because music is the fuel of my resistance, and because I’m a sucker for holiday songs, please enjoy my favorite version of Auld Lang Syne by the one and only Rod Stewart. Wishing everyone a safe and beautiful holiday, and good health - physically and mentally - for the year ahead. We have work to do.🤍
Oh Heidi, I am so happy Betty Dangerous is doing well. You are very dear and a hell of a writer. Radicalized has educated all of us who watch twice a week. I spend more time with you three than any of my close friends. Merry Christmas to you and your son and daughter. Much love.
I remember your tree from last year. That just blew my mind. I ordered a book with the full report in it. Someone posted the report does not facilitate a word search. Which they said is unconscionable and felt deliberate on the part of the Jan 6th. By the way, is Melania an “oligarch?” She suddenly backs the West Wing right before the 6th. Be well. Sending white light around you and your loved ones. ❤️
