The only thing worse than a CSA ring that never gets caught, is a CSA ring that gets caught and nothing happens to the people involved. It's like putting out a sign: if you have x amount of $ or clout, yeah, you can totally get away with this.

Announcing "The Panic Button": an antidote to political gaslighting, complacency and moral paralysis A current-events collaboration with actuary and politics nerd Micah Darnall, who just so happens to be my husband.

This afternoon I decided to spend an hour catching up on some reading I needed to do, and I kid you not I fell asleep like 9 times and finally gave up. This is why I read at the gym.

I finally told him it's kind of like the Roman Empire and that seemed to get through to him.

I've tried so hard to explain to my husband that yes actually I *do* like Wuthering Heights (the book, not the new movie)but NO I don't find it even slightly romantic.

CAN you eat four servings of artichoke dip as dinner? Yes. SHOULD you eat four servings of artichoke dip for dinner? No. No you should not.

I've defined fundamentalism as "the militant response of a religious group when it perceives itself to be threatened by modernity." But what IS modernity, and why would it be a threat to religion?

The one thing that Phyllis Schlafly got right, and why the current administration doesn't want us to figure it out. The Right is attacking protesters for being too "organized" because they know full well that grassroots movements need to be heckin' organized to be effective

The bottom line is: organizing works. The reason the Right is panicking about the level of coordination they’re seeing right now is because *they know that*. substack.com/home/post/p-...

We watched "Don't Look Up" last night and the social phenomenon where the public turns the narrative into "messenger-loses-compusure-on-podcast" instead of "planet-destroying comet is on track to hit earth" is so on point that it hurts.

Maybe beside the point, but "it's a tragedy whenever a U.S. citizen dies" is a very weird thing to say. It's a tragedy when ANYONE dies.

It's Christmas in Moscow, I can tell you that right now.

I'm sorry but who the actual HECK told the Atlantic that what the people want is a think-piece about Wilson, Rigney, Hegseth, et al from Hillary Rodham Clinton??

Anybody else's kids gaslight them about the foods they like and dislike?

Oh, you are SO not wrong.

Um absolutely NOT

Books in the 1600s:

Chapter 1: I'm really the stupidest of men and I'm embarrassed to present these humble thoughts to you but please read all 985 pages and also I don't think I've ever said anything wrong in my entire life.

Yes, I agree. I do use them sometimes at home. 😂

We are at the "replying with cryptic Bible verses" phase of MAGA counter-resistance.

I still don't, but it makes me really stabby when people try to discredit resistance efforts because dissenters are using "bad words." The f-word never killed anybody. ICE has shot & killed eight people just this year, *that we know of*.

It's probably good that I didn't know how much of my podcasting time budget would be spent trying to trouble-shoot technical problems instead of researching & writing content.

Choices were made, David. Choices were made.

I have been trying to but it's not showing at any of our theaters!

To the man in the cowboy hat and boots standing with his hands in his pockets while his wife - dressed in an ankle-length denim skirt - loaded their Costco haul into the back of their SUV: yes, I am judging you.

(yes, there theoretically could be a legit reason but I'm feeling petty)
