Canceled my Discord Nitro subscription. Having client-side features I can choose to toggle on and off as a parent of my children? Cool. This invasive, flawed, massive facial recognition age verification policy? Bullshit. Parenting my children is *my* responsibility, not yours nor the government's.

1. In a major victory, Democrats have managed to get all anti-trans riders stripped from the final appropriations bills.
This includes HHS and Ed, which had the worst provisions in congressional history.
If it passes, it will be a big win for 2026.

Democrats Successfully Strip All Anti-Trans Riders From Final Appropriations Bills
The HHS and Education bills once contained the most sweeping anti-trans provisions in congressional history. Now they contain none.

EPIC had finally made its way into my karaoke bucket list with "Would You Fall in Love with Me Again?". Although I can *technically* hit the notes for both parts, I'd much rather find someone who can be the singing Odysseus to my singing Penelope. It's a really fun song to sing.

That said, we want to thank everyone for listening to this grand and glorious and sometimes frustrating experiment in audio drama. Don't let anyone tell you that publishing a new episode every day is easy, even when it's minimalist audio drama. This team works hard to bring hope to the world.

We somehow missed our Today/Tomorrow posting for Day 3000 of the broadcast. Life just got in the way and, since we don't schedule these in advance (we do each one in real time) it just didn't happen.
