A game? For me? I should wait to consume it later but I'm sooo hungry. (It's our new copy of Against Time And Death!)

Today’s episode is our last official one for 2025 as we will be taking a holiday break. We may repost some older content or random things to get you through, but otherwise we’ll see you in 2026–happy holidays! Merry Chrismahannahkwanzaastice!

Of course I would say this, but we need to talk about the moral & ideological case for play & leisure more than ever. So much political discourse - especially from the super-rich - assumes we ought to construct society around forcing citizens to spend most of their one, unrepeatable life working.

Hey friends! We thought we’d be recording today but turns out with the holiday coming up we ran out of time. We will not have episodes for Nov. 26 or Dec. 3. See you after the American Thanksgiving holiday!

Hi all! We are aware of the site outage and are looking into it. Thank you for your patience!
