Youtube comment of the day: "Even though this is a podcast you could have spiced it up with some pictures and not just you two talking. Even though I love the subject it is way too boring to finish." NARRATOR: The episode in question has had over 125,000 views

A sly dig in Carney's speech to the EU Parliament? 😁: "I’m not proposing a third bloc in order to become a great power rival only with better manners.😁 We do not seek power to dominate others. We are pursuing resilience so no one can control our open markets, impair our sovereignty..." #carney #eu

Just listening to Mark Carney's excellent speech at the EU Parliament. Even if you don't agree with him, isn't it nice to listen to a leader talking in complete sentences, with good grammar, getting to the point without rambling all over the place and whining about imaginary slights? #carneyeu

Great photo from the Irish Open, local farmers use a lowloader for a free look at Shane Lowry taking a putt, while enjoying cans of cider. The cows enjoyed it too. US President and reportedly 1,000 flunkeys and support personnel were hanging around the hotel, all paid for by US Taxpayers 🙄#POTUSGOLF

Oh God! Winter must be coming! Boots are emailing me on all the email addresses they have gathered from me over the years, offering 'flu and COVID vaccinations. Please don't - I want to pretend there's some Summer left. Time to catch a ferry and go cycling in Brittany, I think.

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

I’m seriously confused by Trump’s Great American State Fair. What exactly is the “great” part? America turns 250, and instead of celebrating our diverse history, liberty, and democracy, we get political merch, a grievance tour, and Nazis marching through the capital. Hell of a birthday party 🤡
