I saw someone on TikTok ask (rather vulgarly) that we just have, for once, a week that is … precedented. And I mean, yes. Could we?
Well, not this week. The shooting. The convention. The running mate. The president with COVID. The ominous election.
And then Bob Newhart died, too.
So we decided we need — and that you might need, too — an hour to figure out where to find hope even in the face of all this.
