On this week’s episode, I read to you—like a daddy rocking his baby to sleep—the most recent posts from my Substack newsletter, which you can find here. (You can subscribe for free or pay a few bucks, if you want to support my work, but really I just appreicate you reading / listening and sharing.) These essays cover both life in general and some political stuff also. I put the political ones at the end, so you don’t have to involve yourself in that, if you don’t want to. But please do notice the balanced nature of my analysis, in that I am pointing out the flaws of both Left and Right, though it probably feel as if I’m being more critical of whichever team you’re on! Ain’t that weird? The Great NYC Rationalization - how living in New York requires constant self-justification How Email Will Save the World - why linear, 1990’s comms tech is better than text! The Hilarious World of Estate Planning - (it’s not really hilarious, but that’s the joke) Cancel Culture is Alive and Well - Trump, Jimmy Kimmel and free speech Kamala’s Book is Brat AF - how the former VP’s memoir shows us how little we missed What Bumper Stickers Tell us About America - Please rate and review Reasonably Happy here.
