Donald Trump was maybe kinda almost targeted for assassination again, and the pets-eating discourse has entered its second week and shows no sign of getting smarter. CIB has some thoughts on why it doesn’t actually matter if any pets were or were not consumed in a town in Ohio, along with plenty of our other usual silliness. Listen, if you must! Has something we said, or failed to say, made you FEEL something? You can tell us all about it by joining the conversation on our Substack or you can send us an email here. Enjoy!
