Some Competence, Mostly Buffoonery (CIB #213)

Are we still freaking out about next week’s presidential election? Of course! But there’s plenty of other fun to be had, including a discussion on the decisions by the LA Times and the Washington Post to not endorse Kamala Harris, Abe’s fancy new electronic toy, and our usual whining about the culture. 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.
