**THE SCOTT ADAMS SCHOOL — MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2026**The Home Team is back and kicking off the week with a whole pile of news, current events, persuasion, reframing, and whatever else the simulation decided to dump on our desks over the weekend.Today we’re digging into:• The latest from the **Strait of Hormuz** — what’s happening, what’s *not* happening, and what actually matters.• **Saudi Arabia** dealing with an attack and what that could mean in the bigger picture.• **Bill Maher** has a very interesting conversation featuring **Jessica Tarlov**. Is this cognitive dissonance? A political bubble? Or are we watching competing realities collide in real time?• And apparently we need to talk about **Greenland** again. At this rate, maybe we should just start calling it **Orangeland**. 🍊• Plus plenty of other news, current events, oddities, persuasion opportunities, and things that make us wonder whether the writers of the simulation have started drinking before lunch.☕ **Grab your vessel of any kind and join us for the Simultaneous Sip.****COMING UP THIS WEEK:**📊 **Tuesday:** Special Guest **Mark Mitchell from the Honest Polling Company** joins the School.👀 **Thursday:** We have a **special surprise announcement**.
