"I don't just make up animals!"

This week Ruth speaks up for the great white shark, and against vending machines, which she says are responsible for more deaths than the terrifying denizen of the deep. Also, Ruthie and Dad discuss the difference between happiness and satisfaction, the nature of memory, and, in a rare moment of middle-class discourse, sending back a below-standard sea bass in a restaurant. James Graham's Brexit drama, An Uncivil War, is discussed, Ruth explains milennial burn-out, and wonders if there's a racial element to the relative lack of publicity given to accusations of sexual impropriety against R n B singer R. Kelly.
