Hi. This weekend was marked by violence and tragedy across the globe, and Katy, Cody, and Jonathan do their best to unpack it all. They discuss the mass shooting at Brown University, the antisemitic attack in Australia, and the murder of Rob and Michele Reiner, as well as the hate filled responses to these events from Trump and various Republican senators. It’s a lot.

That "happy Monday" really hit hard emotionally. I'm sorry you have to deal with the news. Thanks for being here.

Let then terrible responses fuel you to be better. We gotta make up for the negativity. Go feed a homeless person, or just stop and talk to them and treat them like a person. Go to the animal shelter and play with a puppy. Spend time at a senior resource center. Go compliment someone (NON-SEXUALLY) at the gym. Make the world a little better somehow today.

I’m from and live not far from where JD Vance is from and I lived in Cincinnati for several years. It seems like Cody gets this as a fellow (former) Ohioan, for me specifically south west Ohio, I think it gives me an extra special kind of disdain for that man. It’s hard to describe.

I'm just going to copy/paste something I put on the GU Discord below, but as an Australian who has lived here for 98% of her life, was a kid during the Port Arthur shootings and remember it very well, as well as the Lindt Cafe siege (the anniversary was this week too), I have never been so sick of American opinions, especially when it's people that know nothing about Australia, Australian events and issues, but also don't WANT to know. Some are asking for our PM's resignation and we, as Australians, should demand it? Like, dude/dipshits, out of everything he's done, calling for tightening of the gun laws is the thing? Not the many, many other things that he should be really called into question for? Perhaps you should shut the fuck up? I posted the following in the GU Discord and I think it's really important for context. A lot of this is from my mum who is a civil service/gov worker and well.. I mean if you've been paying attention, you've seen this too: "The previous conservative govs here were really excited at the idea of breaking down pieces of australian public sectors (especially healthcare) and that one [of them] in particular started laxing gun control.... unfortunately it was something that wasn't tightened back up because [motions around at the last 10 years] and so we now get opinions from people who have their own country's shit to deal with and -even worse- seem to be almost celebrating with glee that another country has a mass shooting?" A quick thing about Rob and Michele's death: A lot of social media opinions, as usual, have now been victim blaming them because they had their addict son living with them and how they should have kicked him out. Want to say from family experience: I need people with no experience on this with bigger audiences to shut the fuck up. You have no idea how much effort parents and families do, the pain that's caused, the violence that can happen from people on drugs or struggling, just so much stuff I can't even put into words here that I don't want to hear some non-blue check or blue-check twitter assholes thinking it's so easy. Anyway, love you guys, thanks for talking about the awful shit with your usual care. PS "Bondi" is pronounced "Bond-eye" ;) (do people even do old-school emojis anymore?)

The Princess Bride is my favorite movie. Rest in peace, Rob Reiner.
