If you have student loans then, like me, you may be constantly refreshing Mohela waiting to see if your Public Service Loan Forgiveness file still exists or if some Department of Education angel deleted our student loans before taking an illegal buyout (HINT HINT). If the worst case happens and my PSLF is cancelled and I still owe all of my student loans, WE RIDE AT DAWN.
But seriously, I think there was a turning point in la resistance today. The great thing about Trump (besides the one time I have agreed with him, when he tweeted “these liberal paper straws don’t work” and he was right, these liberal paper straws don’t work) is that we know how his mind works. We know this guy! And we know that the best way to make him turn on someone is to make that person the center of attention. Because only Trump can be the center of attention. So as I was watching the Dem anti-Musk rally on the Hill today and seeing all of the MSNBC headlines and news notifications about Musk all day, I though yes, they finally get it. Make everything about Musk and he’ll be out in three Scaramuccis.

I am so excited about this week’s guest! If you’re single you have probably heard of
and her excellent Substack, The Single Supplement. It is honest and funny and engaging and wonderful and now she has written a book that is all of those things! I couldn’t put Single down and I really hope that every one who is single or knows someone who is read it. Her book comes out on Feb 11 so pre-order it now and then get excited by listening to the episode!
What to do with yourself

An Update on Our Family (Max)- I think it’s pretty clear that every family vlogger belongs in jail, but that may just be me. Even if you don’t have any opinions on family channels, you may have an opinion about Myka Stauffer, the infamous mom vlogger who adopted a special needs child from China and then dissolved the adoption. This docuseries is a really good examination not just of the Stauffer situation, but of family vloggers in general. But seriously, STRAIGHT TO JAIL.
Scamanda (Hulu)- SCAMANDA IS FINALLY OUT! Listen to the podcast, binge the show, look askance at every woman you meet whose name is Amanda. Ok, not that last one.
