Desecrated Temples, Desiccated Brains (CIB #241)

We’re back after a week away from the news to briefly talk about the goings on in the world while spending most of our time together yapping about ourselves, as is our prerogative on our very own podcast. 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.
