I wrote about this a bit in my last book but it really shakes me that a defining feature of this catastrophic era is that we just keep going to work. We work through pandemics, we work through natural disasters, we work through economic calamity, we work through coups, we work, we work, we work.

I don’t want a drink that replaces a meal, I don’t want a book summary, I want to savor things

Weird Little Guys is really, really good. Along with content which is ... meticulous.. in a way that that pleases me the way those perfectly cut cake videos do, the audio soundscape is dark & electric. And try listening to it on a foggy, late night drive up Mt. Hamilton -- it's a journey.
