An unscripted and unrehearsed conversation, recorded at our dining room table on an iPhone.  Driftglass:  "Tuesday night I was feeling a little doomed, and my wife asked me what was wrong and I told her that at that moment I was doing some serious thinking about what to do in 2024 if Trump won.  And that thinking about the unthinkable was depressing the hell out of me.

So we talked about it.  And then she took out her phone and said that she bet that other people were feeling the same thing too but didn’t want to demoralize our side, and were maybe keeping it to themselves. And maybe we should just record our conversation, and that would be our podcast for this week."

A bad week for testosterone in the halls of Congress - Why are men so emotional?  Candace Owens rediscovers her Bible, and Ben Shapiro says she should quit over it?  Yes, Trump is Hitler after all.  And the Sulzberger family newspaper continues to normalize that.  What is bothering Brit Hume these days?  The answer won't surprise you.  This and other news of the week.  More at proleftpod.com.

We remember the two Mayor Daley's of Chicago, and the younger Daley's selling off of public facilities like the parking meters to keep "his" city going.  It's great urban history.  More at proleftpod.com.

A somewhat deep dive into the Book of Revelation?  Don't worry; we also include connections to John Wick/Keanu Reeves as Jesus.  But seriously, folks, these end times Republicans are deeply committed to the end of the world and think war in Israel is just the ticket to them going to Heaven and the rest of us going ...elsewhere.   And don't get us started about protecting the environment here on Earth.  More at proleftpod.com.

It's my 19th Blogiversary

I usually forget, but this year I finally added it to Google Calendar.

Nineteen years is a long time!  I'm so grateful for the friendships this blog has brought to my life, the best of which by far is my wonderful husband. 

Thank you, readers and listeners, for your friendship and support of our podcast work. 

This week we learned that our health insurance premium will increase by $400 a month and will for the first time be more than our mortgage payment. Turns out your early 60's are spent scrimping to avoid spending retirement savings on current health care? When did that happen? 

We live in a small house and drive a twelve-year-old car.  We definitely know how to scrimp.

And we'll be using "Go Fund Me Supplemental Insurance" next year -- watch this space! 

 Support our work here or at Patreon.   And thank you!
