Let's untangle the connection between Mike Bloomberg, romantic horse stories, and Bionicle novels

We all know lots of trivia about Mike Bloomberg at this point. Nobody will be surprised to learn that he’s responsible for giving the world the racist stop and frisk policy, that he can’t stop getting in trouble for acting like real piece of shit to the women who work for him, that he likes to hang out with Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, that he makes transphobic comments, and that he’s undermining any lingering hope for the democratic process by buying his way into an election with help from the brain geniuses who marketed Fyre Fest and any social media influencers in need of some fast cash.
Somehow, despite the ever-deepening scum mine that is the former Mayor’s history, there are always more unexpected Bloomberg facts to find. Like, for instance, the one where it turns out you can trace a direct line from the man himself through to horse romance novels and books about Bionicles.
