☕ **The Scott Adams School | Thursday, October 29, 2026** Today, **Erica and Owen** tackle the midterm elections, Israel, Muslims, monkeys, and so much more. Yes, monkeys made the agenda. It’s that kind of news day. We’ve got plenty to cover, a little Debris to sort through, and no guarantees about where the conversation will take us. Grab your beverage, settle in, and join us for the **Simultaneous Sip!** **Marcela is off today and tomorrow**, handling business in court and doing her lawyer thing. We’ll try to behave in her absence. No binding promises. 🎙️ **A quick introduction to Erica’s unofficial office staff:** If you hear Erica talking to **Chester**, that’s her elite, amazing AI assistant—now apparently a recurring character on the show. The position comes with absolutely no benefits, but plenty of assignments. And if you hear a meow, that’s **Stella**, Erica’s senior kitty, making one of her frequent cameos. She always has something to say, rarely waits for a handoff, and considers every microphone an open microphone. 🐾 📚 **Tomorrow: Joel Pollak joins us!** We’ll have the **pre-order link for the much-anticipated Scott Adams biography** to share with you tomorrow. We’re excited to have Joel back and bring you more about this special project. 🛍️ **Coffee with Scott Adams merchandise** The merchandise site is open for **domestic AND international shipping!** Find the mugs, beanies, hats, and Simultaneous Swaddle blankets here: https://emblempromos.chipply.com/cat/CWSA 📅 **Get your official 2027 Dilbert calendars!** Don’t let the new year sneak up on you with a boring calendar.
