The Daily Whatever, July 24: Outrage & Civil Discourse with Walter Rhein and Nick Paro

I was delighted to welcome

Walter Rhein

and

Nick Paro

to The Daily Whatever this morning as the incomparable

Dana DuBois

continues her penguin-rescuing mission on the Western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP (What, you didn’t think it could mean two things?))

We kicked off the show with a show of love for our dear friend

Füsun Aydın

. Please, send her some love and show you care by signing up for her newsletter and, if you are able, by becoming a paid subscriber to her. Füsun, we love you! I hope you were able to see the outpouring of love for you this morning in the Chat.

Walter and Nick each have a distinctive style here on Substack; Nick is known for his poetry, and Walter is the modern master of the powerful Note. We spoke a bit about that, and then, inevitably, got sidetracked by the looming specter of the Epstein Files, and the scourge of pedophilia.

We all shared a ton, and our community Chat was, as usual, open, honest, loving, and supportive.

We hope you’ll have a chance to watch the recording, and please let us know what you think!

Thank you
