Happy New Year to you and Maris!! I'm wishing every good thing, blessing, and joy there is for you guys this year! <3
Thank you so much for this newsletter--this alone is a BIG DEAL, at least to me! This has made things much better many times when they really weren't, if that makes sense. I really appreciate you!!!
If you think that Israel is just fighting a war against Hamas (who raped and murdered hundreds of jews, Arabs and tourists and still hold hostages) and hezbollah (who have held Lebanon hostage for decades on behalf of their Iranian masters and were planning to imitate hamas) for funsies, then you are a brainwashed idiot who thinks that murdering jews is a small price to pay for Iranian religious extremists.
Your candle lighting means nothing. Candles don't make up for all the dead jews you happily ignore.
dear josh,
great piece!
thank you for sharing this:
"I haven’t felt especially accomplished this year, which is okay (he says but has not internalized yet). But I have done a lot of STUFF."
followed by a list of STUFF that many people, self included, would call ACCOMPLISHMENTS!
i mean, even listing all the stuff seems like an accomplishment.
but there's accomplishments in them thar stuffs.
congrats and great work and i love you!
love

I like to think you were thinking of me as one of the people you listened to complain 😎
You are one of my favorite complainers!
Hi Josh!
Happy New Year! I am sorry to be the one to have to tell you this, but that was not Dionne Warwick. 😔
Better luck next year!
Tom.
I am watching at least one Rick Steeves video a day off YT. They are pre-NYE ball so I think less about all the germ exchange
Hahaha fun!!
Happy New Year and thanks for the song! I’m a recently new reader, enjoy you on Wait Wait, and I can “hear” you as I read. 😁
Thanks so much, Nancy! And welcome!
