I really liked the names you chose for your taxonomy! Accreted is spot on. Rebellious and revolutionary also, conveys the reactive/constructive distinction nicely.

Also unsurprised that journalists would like to hear your take on Ellison given the, err, prescience of your past comments.

Given that these have led me to some of my favourite reads in the last few years, this has me incredibly excited!

Won't be able to join, but have to shout out
Ed Conway's "Material World".

Extremely, extremely good. Lots of nice historical and contemporary information, and very readable.

The reading posts got me to on to The Tainted Cup and A Drop of Corruption. Which really doesn't need an apology, even if I'm now also stuck waiting for the next book.

They're not really goth, but I'm trying to place Creeper on here, and I keep oscillating between Circus and Dracula.

I say this with nothing but affection.

How damaging is β€˜giftgate’? - UK in a changing Europe Ben Worthy and Michele Crepaz analyse the Labour gifts row, saying that while Starmer has not broken any rules the story creates difficulties.

In the UK they seem even cheaper than the US! Just look at Scott Benton.
Or the whole "gift-gate" situation (although there's no explicit evidence that was quid-pro-quo, such relatively small amounts to risk the impression of impropriety) ukandeu.ac.uk/how-damaging...

I reckon they could also move up if they replicate some aspects of Cognito's usability to other services.

I'm sure there *are* some well-reasoned and pragmatic reasons behind how Cognito works, but boy does it cause headaches.

TunnbrΓΆdsrulle-The Swedish Wrap Anthony Bourdain Loved A tunnbrΓΆdsrulle (also known as a tumlerulle) is a Swedish wrap filled with tasty goodness. After a bite, Anthony Bourdin famously said, β€œThe finest and best thing I ever had in my life.” Here we shar...

Hot dogs in a wrap! Usually filled with (at least) mashed potatoes, ketchup and mustard. Often also "prawn salad", which is much better than it sounds.
They're pretty ubiquitous street food. It fucking whips.

On this note I'd recommend getting a "tunnbrΓΆdsrulle" before you leave Stockholm

Ach, I'm sorry my hometown is treating you like that. It does sound like the average Swedish experience though.

I would unironically say that climbing gyms are one of the few places where people are marginally more sociable. (Though I imagine that's too little and too late)

This is such a capital-P Post.

The thread is thoughtful as per usual, but I just want to recognise game.

As much as I can see all the reasons why this couldn't/shouldn't happen, there's still a part of me that would love to see it.

The first 20 minutes of this episode really encapsulates why I love listening to you lot every week. The perfect balance of emotional gut punch and Im/mortal Coil.

Congratulations to you as well!

I feel like no announcement like this ever gets out without at least one typo, no matter how many times it's looked over before publishing.

Fair dues! I'm also not a native speaker. Just got slightly stuck on it when reading.

As an aside, it feels like there's a word missing in the start of one paragraph

> Customers starting landing faster now;

(or I'm just being thrown by the change of tense?)

Now that's a five star runtime!

Thank you all for a really lovely journey!
I only started it a few weeks ago, and caught up just last week, but I'm aware it's been much longer for y'all.

It's given me a much deeper appreciation for the series! Very excited to follow you to new things!

I think the funniest part is that the generated responses are obviously weighted to be agreeable, so when he asks things like "will running the unit tests cause you to delete prod again?" or "will you continue to ignore my instructions?" he gets cheerful agreement.

Just wanted to say that I'm incredibly excited for Kaizen. The demo had an incredible warmth and made me very nostalgic, and I can't wait to see how it all plays out.

Immediately ordered a copy of Process. Felt like it'd be a disservice to read digitally. It's so beautiful!

I'm on my second day of Act 2, and it's been a remarkable experience so far. The little interlude was incredible.

Really compelling stuff.

I think your reasoning is sound. Quelling resistance through occupation seems infeasible.

Also feels beyond the pale that it'd escalate to outright shelling/cutting supply chains. Which I guess is the other way we've seen occupying forces attempt to do that.
