Hm, so weird that one of her songs is specifically about this

I do.

Trump to the Navy: "We have to take care of this little gnat that's on our shoulder called the Democrats."

It really is staggering to see so many people willing to abandon our 249 year experiment in democracy for an increasingly unstable criminally convicted reality show charlatan.

Thanks so much for the attention in the newsletter. It honestly felt really good and it was great advice. Love your newsletter, love your online presence, and love your work!

Hi, it’s me.

Swiss cheese because of the holes.

Haha I do laugh a lot and I think I must look like such a dork, but my favorites to run with are CBB proper, Eat Pray Dunk, the Neighborhood Listen, SHS, and Threedom. I run very long distances sometimes so my CBB friends keep me company.

Healing your inner child with red cups, pizza, and stained glass.

I only run to CBB World podcasts.

I’ve been training for a marathon for months and am now suffering an injury and might possibly not be able to run it. It’s two weeks away and is a 50/50 chance at this point. Entry, flights, hotel all already paid for and my partner is doing it. We trained together and wanted to do this together.

It’s always a treat when Bob Ducca shows up!

Will it matter?

Millions of dollars worth of contraceptives destined for low-income countries were destroyed at the direction of the Trump administration.

White supremacist bullshit.

Was that the one from the Dennis the Menace movie?

Thank you

Where do we read about this?

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

I think this might be my favorite book now.

“They’re stupid!”
“They’re evil!”
“No, they’re stupid!”
“No, they’re evil!”

Folks, let me solve this for you: It’s both.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

Maybe, but all the evidence suggests that he actually is not very smart.

So interesting to hear about how #WetDay is celebrated among different cultures. For some, a saguaro cactus or a Joshua tree can serve as their wettest tree! #DesertLife @cbbworld.bsky.social @scottaukerman.bsky.social @pftompkins.bsky.social
