I’ve been thinking a lot about this lately as I start to play around with the idea of a four day work week for myself. I want to be able to devote one day of the week on passion projects.
The attitude should be, "Well, unfortunately we have to stay profitable." It's an annoyance. An inconvenient fact of life. If your attitude is, "I'm so psyched to turn some profits!" you are probably not high on my collab list.

It’s late so I’m going to tryyy to say this succinctly. I see people complaining that this is just “vote Dem because Trump” and that Dems are offering nothing. But like, having the Dem party FINALLY acknowledge that the R’s are fucking insane? Thats HUGE.
“An impassioned, invigorated President Joe Biden on Friday tried to flip the script on his reelection campaign as he faces pressure… telling a rollicking crowd of supporters at a Detroit rally that the focus should be on the threat former President Donald Trump poses to the country”

I have that thing where when I forget the name of an actor the only reference I can think of is an extremely esoteric movie. “You know, the guy from Valley Girl. “

Looking forward to the @washingtonpost.com publishing dozens of stories and op-ed calling on Clarence Thomas to resign, because his inability over decades to fully complete a simple financial disclosure form raises serious questions about his cognitive ability to do his job.

Congrats Afternath! Now, to the rest of you, why aren’t you subscribing? There should be at least one more zero after their sub numbers. Get to it!
Been a minute since we've done one of these, but: We recently passed the 3,600 subscriber mark! Merch is on the way -- after we sort through some logistics -- and another podcast isn't far off. Thank you to all of our subscribers, without whom none of this would be possible

Happy 57th anniversary of signing the first contract for A Wizard of Earthsea, which you will note was titled, at the time of signing, The Wizard's Quest. Narrow escape!

Stephen Miller now following Trump's lead and saying he has nothing to do with Project 2025. 1. His organization is on the Project 2025 advisory board. 2. He recorded a video as part of Project 2025 training tools 3. You can see Mandate for Leadership, the Project 2025 publication in the background
