Last Notes npub1ltsjpvhzr798su8f6lltfu203h77q7x85357ktjpths94uyqzh2szttxft The Rob Burgess Show I keep blocking them but they keep coming under new accounts. Truly bizarre… https://assets.newsie.social/media_attachments/files/112/040/432/026/643/058/original/115caca05fde4905.jpeg https://assets.newsie.social/media_attachments/files/112/040/432/019/899/860/original/f7da31459deb1922.jpeg npub1ltsjpvhzr798su8f6lltfu203h77q7x85357ktjpths94uyqzh2szttxft The Rob Burgess Show Some truly strange AI garbage being suggested on my Facebook feed out of nowhere lately… https://assets.newsie.social/media_attachments/files/112/034/305/976/722/709/original/a4ca1daf4bd581d7.jpeg https://assets.newsie.social/media_attachments/files/112/034/305/977/261/633/original/8462c07ff5fc0431.jpeg npub1ltsjpvhzr798su8f6lltfu203h77q7x85357ktjpths94uyqzh2szttxft The Rob Burgess Show “My Uncle Alex, who is up in Heaven now, one of the things he found objectionable about human beings was that they so rarely noticed it when times were sweet. We could be drinking lemonade in the shade of an apple tree in the summertime, and Uncle Alex would interrupt the conversation to say, ‘If this isn't nice, what is?’ So I hope that you will do the same for the rest of your lives.” — Kurt Vonnegut npub1ltsjpvhzr798su8f6lltfu203h77q7x85357ktjpths94uyqzh2szttxft The Rob Burgess Show What can Democrats realistically do between now and next November from stopping the Trump dictatorship from beginning? It seems like we're all just sleepwalking towards a cliff right now... npub1ltsjpvhzr798su8f6lltfu203h77q7x85357ktjpths94uyqzh2szttxft The Rob Burgess Show We finally watched “Barbie” last night. Very impressive and enjoyable. Amazing performances all around, especially Ryan Gosling. Existentialism in a branded toy movie: What a combo. npub1ltsjpvhzr798su8f6lltfu203h77q7x85357ktjpths94uyqzh2szttxft The Rob Burgess Show Good riddance to George Santos for all the obvious reasons, but you've got to admit: He did have a certain Disney villain-like flair you rarely see in public life. The foes of common decency rarely burn this bright. npub1ltsjpvhzr798su8f6lltfu203h77q7x85357ktjpths94uyqzh2szttxft The Rob Burgess Show Sure, McCarthy humiliated himself repeatedly, but at least he got nothing in return. And you can’t take that away from him. npub1ltsjpvhzr798su8f6lltfu203h77q7x85357ktjpths94uyqzh2szttxft The Rob Burgess Show Fetterman seems to be the only Senate Democrat to call for Menendez’s resignation. Why not more? The Democratic governor gets to appoint the replacement, right? So, it’s not like they’re risking anything. npub1ltsjpvhzr798su8f6lltfu203h77q7x85357ktjpths94uyqzh2szttxft The Rob Burgess Show Saw this dog with fur dyed to look like a panda on the Huntington Beach Pier… https://assets.newsie.social/media_attachments/files/111/075/962/000/150/240/original/08fd327bd3c179b5.jpeg npub1ltsjpvhzr798su8f6lltfu203h77q7x85357ktjpths94uyqzh2szttxft The Rob Burgess Show Did you watch last night's Republican primary debate? As we have since the 2016 election cycle, regular guest Jonathan Fowler and I are watching, taking notes and sharing our thoughts on my podcast, The Rob Burgess Show. What were your thoughts on the debate? Any moments that stood out to you? npub1ltsjpvhzr798su8f6lltfu203h77q7x85357ktjpths94uyqzh2szttxft The Rob Burgess Show Shout out to my parents’ generation for sliding into stability before credit scores or crushing student loan debt were a thing. It must have been fun! npub1ltsjpvhzr798su8f6lltfu203h77q7x85357ktjpths94uyqzh2szttxft The Rob Burgess Show Younger people might not realize this, but when Columbine happened, it dominated the news for weeks. How long do you reckon it would be national news today? Two days, maybe three? I just hate how numb we are to these mass shootings. I feel like we collectively treat it like an outbreak of severe weather: A random deadly occurrence no one can do anything about, instead of an ongoing, preventable, predictable, systemic failure. npub1ltsjpvhzr798su8f6lltfu203h77q7x85357ktjpths94uyqzh2szttxft The Rob Burgess Show This is one of my favorite quotes about politics and explains so much about the GOP reaction to Trump’s indictment: “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect." — Frank Wilhoit npub1ltsjpvhzr798su8f6lltfu203h77q7x85357ktjpths94uyqzh2szttxft The Rob Burgess Show One of the perks of giving up caffeine is that moderation in the number of cups of tea I have is a thing of the past. I had at least five cups yesterday. Just throwing caution to the wind over here.
