It’s been 51 years, and I still know for certain that Happy Days aired Tuesday nights at 8pm. How messed up is that? MS shrinks my brain, keeping me from finding words regularly, and yet, that piece of useless information is still in there somewhere. That’s because before the Internet, VCRs, DVRs, and Streaming, the…

The Resistance Begins
In this week’s America Has Fallen Podcast (Season 2, Episode 2), Laura notes that no response is often the best response. Although we enjoy venting on the pod and sharing clips on social media, online silence can starve the algorithm. It turns out that old-school blogging and curating an email list allow us to share our thoughts without necessarily feeding the beast.
This week’s pod has inspired Linda to kick it old school as she fills her Resistance Toolbox. (So much so, she can’t get 2013 Miley Cyrus out of her head.)
Still Podcasting
I like podcasting because I like talking. I enjoy discussing American politics because I’m an opinionated American (shocking, I know). But I hate the marketing part. If you don’t tell people you have a podcast, why record a podcast? I could just call Laura, my podcasting cohort, weekly and bitch about politics over the phone….
Latest Podcasts
Laura and I dove into the world of Cults because we firmly believe MAGA is one. However, unlike Jim Jones, Trump will absolutely charge his followers for the Kool-Aid. Can you imagine having to Venmo your Supreme Leader for the privilege of participating in his mass suicide? The Bad News: I’m related to a MAGA…
I Could Do This Daily
America Has Fallen, my new podcast, started as a creative outlet to deal with our daily chaos. Honestly, it was a tongue-in-cheek idea my friend Laura and I devised. Then, Felon 47 was inaugurated, and shit started happening fast. Now, we make our podcast because we’re afraid that in six months, we will lose our…
The Biden Backlash Doesn’t Surprise Me One Bit
I recorded this for my podcast (Episode 3: Democrats are the Worst at Marketing and Messaging) a few weeks ago. It turns out I’m a psychic! For those who would rather read my snarky remarks, here they are for your perusing pleasure. Are you better off than you were four years ago? Hmmm…. I’m not…
My Incredible Shrinking World
There are no straight lines when treating diseases, conditions or syndromes. Doctors rarely give an exact regimen to follow. Ask cancer patients how many micro and macro therapeutic decisions they are forced to make. Speak with a Type 1 Diabetic about the different insulins and glucose monitoring kits he must choose from. Ask someone suffering from…
F**K Anatoly’s Mom’s Disease
The Neubie is still impressing the heck out of me. I’ve made more lasting improvements and experienced more carryover with this machine than with all of my other treatments combined. After 4 months of home use, I’m happy to report the following improvements in my left leg: Am I walking better? Nope. Am I improving…
Good Advice
I LOVE reading advice columns and gravitate toward any sort of instructional teachings in general. That’s probably why The Dear Abby and Erma Bombeck infatuations of my youth, have led my down the digital rabbit hole of today’s podcasts, Am I The Asshole (AITA) Sub Reddits, Ted Talks, and Twitter feeds not to mention a…
30 Years
How ironic that today, on my thirtieth wedding anniversary, I just finished reading, Heather Havrilesky’s New York Times article, Marriage Requires Amnesia: Do I hate my husband? Oh for sure, yes, definitely. I’m happy to say that after three decades, I don’t hate my husband. I fell in love with a handsome, hard-working, good man…
