Week of July 4th: No Episode

 No episode this week!

Nothing bad happened. It's just been a long holiday week, a cohost wasn't available, and I (Bart) was working on a project that was actually making some progress. After weighing the options and remembering that the show wasn't sponsored, I (again, Bart) made the decision to take a night off from the podcast.

We plan to return next week with episode 399!

Have a great week!

Episode 397:There Can Be Only One (Independence Day)

There were some tech issues (not my fault this time!) (Okay, the weird scratchy noise against the mic was my fault...but not the issues that I'm referring to) so Bart isn't keeping tight notes on this one. Next week the notes and links should be properly set, but this week,...I don't get paid promotion or large enough following to worry about this...

The show is only Bart this time, and he talks about ride sharing sting operations, Texans losing control of their thermostats because apparently they can't read, and the GOP pretends that making a holiday out of Juneteenth is too confusing for people and definitely not because they're bigoted trash. Have a great week!
