(01:57) Good "ready to support striking Portland grocery workers" morninggg
(05:03) Oh also... mercury is out of retrograde. We get some time to pick up the pieces. 🤣
(16:10) Hi this is Jorah Nones. Goodmorning! Astrology? No way, tell me where you fall on the Political Compass!
(16:26) That "empires falling" is referring to the Pluto return of the United States I think, with Pluto re-entering Capricorn just before the election, before finally transiting into Aquarius for the rest of our lives
(15:45) MAGA "logic" says government is too incompetent and inept to regulate industry, but it's just the thing for regulating pregnant women's bodies.
(22:20) Monday was awesome. Mud was slung & I was there for it. 💥
(29:38) When Kaiser pharmacists went on strike some months ago they issued a public statement telling people it was OK to cross the picket line to get their meds.
(31:32) There was also a billboard in Beaverton weeks ago urging people to either switch their pharmacy or get meds earlier with a possible strike coming.
(1:09:12) L E T H A L 🫡
