caleb saw longlegs! no big spoilers; caleb liked it mostly. he’s also reading the lord of the ring, which is awesome. caleb is planning a trip to california to go to a movie premiere – the movie that rafe and caleb helped produce, called “art of a hit.”

HOT HOT TOPICS
– I still don’t know how credit scores work. I have a score over 800 and loans still have shitty interest rates.
– If you feel yourself getting into a state of panic, do you have a method or procedure that works for you to refocus, calm yourself, and get back to the task at hand?
– Given the state of world affairs, how do we foster a renewed spirit of empathy and compassion in such a divided world?
– In the line of the “conclusions mat” from office space, what do we think about state-mints? mints in the shape of states with unique flavors? or flavors for different expressions/styles?
– after 3 days of 96-101 degrees temperatures outside I believe my brain is officially in a gaseous state, and no longer solid. are we just ok letting global warming kill us off slowly at this point?
– (topical topic) how much schadenfreude is “too much” schadenfreude? at what point does saying “they got what they deserved” turn into “I’m an absolute ghoul who thrives on the suffering of people I don’t like”?
– should the hospital of a state-run university have pastoral care? long story short, I was in the hospital for 6 nights, and on the first full day a pastor came and sang songs from a list. mostly secular songs on the list but there were christian hymns that patients could pick as well. is that an establishment clause concern?
– should new parents be evaluated before leaving the hospital with the new born? some people just arent meant to be parents.
