@andymasley.bsky.social cooked with this one

aren't there some wild stories of people eating it for a few months and it completely wrecking their digestive system for years+?

He's running for House right now and it's riveting, I just want to read it all day but I have to work T.T

The Robert Caro LBJ biography has wildly exceeded my expectations so far. I expected it to be full of detail and wild stories (and it is), but I didn't expect the breathtaking writing and craftsmanship that Caro put into it. I've never read a biography so compelling.

I can see how much you all like to be based and this job will let you do it *anywhere*. Consider applying!

I've seen enough: fine, I'll join.
