please consider subscribing if you aren't already. 3600 is amazing, its more than double our launch figure in less than a year, but as you can see the 5000-5500 mark is where we really need to get

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

yeah, my problem the first time was i that i got lost in the cast in volumes 2 and 3 and then was sort of approaching it like "just make it to The Captive and The Fugitive," which I read in college, and it wasn't a sustainable way to read and I put it down. But I loved it! I want to read it all!

This feels like a @timmarchman.bsky.social question, but I've finally got an entire set of Proust in the same translation, and it's time to try to tackle this again. (I came so close many years ago!) What's the best way through? Is there a good companion book? A schedule? Just put my back into it?

Season 3 of The Bear can feel like a lot of noise without much action, but I think the pace highlights how its characters relate to their work, and if they can ever be less fucked up about it

i'm not a big fan of all the johnny truant stuff; i have a low bar for nonsense so that stuff turns me off. I've read the book a few times and once read it the way it's "supposed" to be, and that was a good experience, but really i just like the... straightforward house stuff

Dr Disrespect sent explicit messages to a minor and deserves 100% accountability for his actions. But he only got to that point because sponsors and business rewarded him for toxic behavior. He's not the only one. Devs and sponsors need to step up and not rewarding professional assholes.
