I'm not worried about problems with in-person voting in my area, but like I said above, I worried about missing out if I had to be in quarantine on election day. I mentioned this to my kids, and now Jacob is planning to vote on his way home from work today. I think I can get Aidan to do it too, but ...

How is everyone today?

Fantabulous morning!

Yes.

At this point, I feel like Trump is actively trying to lose. No stimulus talks until after the election? I don't get it. I don't understand his position on this from the beginning. This stimulus deal was a chance for him to buy votes. He could have agreed to all of it and been super-generous, and al...

No kidding. Damn.

I gather that when you look at specific neighborhoods in Omaha, however, places to drop off a ballot were taken away from densely populated minority areas that tend to vote reliably D... That certainly sounds like a thing, but I'm not familiar enough with Omaha to know where all those places were. ...

Good morning, Moon!

Good night, Moon!

THREE HUNDRED! That’s a huge round number! So as a special treat… we recorded an episode! After some feedback and quick booger check, Aidan talks gamemastering at the Gaming Table, Mike is shocked to discover that Thor Heyerdahl might be racist, there’s a thing about walnuts, Mike rages at the moon ...

I did some research on Nebraska, because I was under the impression that we didn't have ballot drop-boxes. But I was wrong. My own county is very rural and only has two places to drop off ballots: the courthouse in the county seat, and then a drop box at the city building of the largest town in the ...

Early voting opened in Nebraska at 8:30am. I happened to be in the courthouse at 8:45, so I took 5 minutes out to vote in person. Damn it feels good. I don't think Nebraska will be a contentious region for mail-in voting, but I don't want to risk it either. And I don't want to wait til election day ...

Nerds in the morning!

Yeah, you win. I should have mentioned St. Columba, but A) it doesn't really match the Nessie legends and feels shoehorned in, B) my narrative is much stronger without it, and most importantly C) I completely forgot about it while recording. What I know: more than a century after the event, someone ...

Gah! In the midst of hopelessness and sadness and fear and resignation, I somehow keep forgetting anger. Anger is so exhausting to maintain, and so it numbs into miserable acceptance over time. But fuck that... I'm mad! As Trump and his aides and cronies and GOP senators are testing positive for COV...

That's because your kid made sexist assumptions based on the pink bow eeyore often wears on his tail. When in reality, Kanga is the only female in the 100 Acre Woods.

Ron's such a decent, stand-up guy that I am consistently baffled at how we can be so far apart politically.

Thankfully, no Eeyore. What a downer that guy is.
