@xor it was pretty good! I imagine it'll be a little more polished tomorrow. have fun!

if someone asked me "what's the big idea" I would be delighted to talk to them about anarcho-syndicalism tbh

"What's the big idea" is a fun phrase because I would be curious to know if a broader conceptual framework underlies a minor slight I'm experiencing

can't believe Stanzi Potenza has turned me into the kind of guy who goes to comedy shows

@miriamkp a treasure!!
