Greg, Brian, and Colin are reunited for the 100th (public) episode to talk about domestication during the pandemic, the promising start of the Seattle Public School District's online learning program (powered by Microsoft Teams), code bootcamp child soldiers, flatlines and brain implants, Loren Culp's tepid gubernatorial platform, and The State of Things (sorry, it's still bad).

Greg reads a very special letter to the show from a Bothell listener. With Brian back from his bomb shelter in the mountains outside of Boise, Greg catches him up with all the awful news from when he was gone.

Also, Greg debuts his new theory about fascism. All this and more on Seattle Sucks!

Then we talk with friend of the show Munya about the march to Jenny Durkan’s house last Sunday and her subsequent heel-turn.
