[re Ozempic] “The fact that [fat people] have been through so many rounds of this, it's like, ‘Why aren't you on Fen Phen? Why aren't you on bariatric surgery? Why aren't you clean eating?’ All this is just new packaging for like ‘Why aren't you thin?’ And that is worth listening to. This isn't like a paranoid fantasy on the part of fat people. This is something that they've been through numerous times over the course of their lifetimes now. We're just doing the same thing again even when the data does not remotely indicate that we're not going to have fat people anymore. It never has. We're always going to have fat people and there's always going to be people, whatever the medical intervention is, that can't use it or it doesn't work for them or they've tried it already, that's always going to be the case. The fact that people are so obsessed with asking the question, ‘Is this the end of obesity?’, like really early, ‘Is this going to be the reason we don't have fat people around anymore?’, it's like it's so fucking telling.” – Michael Hobbes on Maintenance Phase

Hey love the show, this is one of my favorite podcasts, is there going to be another season? It's been a while since there was any news anywhere

Thank you! That's so wonderful to hear, and we're grateful you're listening.

We're working on a new series now that's currently three seasons long! It features the characters you know and continues the story you know — and adds so much more. Including a full musical's worth of songs.

So yes, there's a lot to come!

The Lutherans should have been cave mystics. Their focus on the supremacy of the word and individualist soteriology would be perfect for caves. The Lutherans should have taken their Bibles and their printing presses and sealed themselves within the earth with several tons of canned peaches. They would've learned to eat olms and drink from underground springs and read their Bibles with their newly evolved huge eyes. I want them pious and salamandrine.

Friends, I’m going to express myself today in a way I’m not particularly comfortable doing. I hope you’ll forgive me. Ever since I was a teenager I’ve been fascinated by the bestseller list of The New York Times Sunday book review, especially nonfiction. I wondered how certain books and their topics got to be high on the list. I was particularly interested in the books that got to be 1 bestsellers. I thought that their authors and ideas provided tiny windows into the American mind at those particular moments in time. For the last 43 years, I’ve also felt a personal stake. My first book was published in 1982. It didn’t make anywhere near the bestseller list. One day I was at a friend’s house and noticed it on a bookshelf in his living room. I told him how flattered I was that he had bought it. He looked a bit sheepish and suggested I pull the book out and look inside. When I opened the cover, I found that the entire inside had been hollowed out. It had been sold to him for safe-keeping. It was where he stored valuable jewelry from his grandmother. He assumed no one would ever find it because no one would ever pull out my book. Years went by, and I wrote 17 more books. I wrote them as well as I could, but to be perfectly candid with you, I don’t think readers found them especially exciting. They were about economics, politics, and philosophy. As I recall, only one made the Times bestseller list, and it was 6 for about a minute. I’ve contented myself with the thought that my books have contributed to public understanding, notwithstanding. I used to joke that my books were the kind that once you put them down, you couldn’t pick them up. So when a friend phoned recently to tell me that my new book, Coming Up Short: A Memoir of My America, was 1 on the Times nonfiction bestseller list (it’s actually right there at the top in this Sunday’s print edition!) I couldn’t believe it. Being the sentimental slob I am, my eyes welled up. It’s been a lifetime dream, yet I’ve been worried about sharing the news. Bragging about a personal achievement seems so, well, Trumpian. Yet here I am sharing the news with you. Somehow I thought you’d want to know.

'the greatest reveal in the history of media was-' no. the greatest reveal in the history of media was in the novel Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones (1986), wherein after having spent the entire book up to this point in the fantasy land of Ingary, where fairy tales come true, it is revealed that the real reason that Howl is so odd, so strange, so different from everyone else is that he is not, in fact, like everyone else. and this is not because he is a wizard, or a layabout, or heartless--it is because he is Welsh. as in, he is from modern day Wales. as in, he and his pals from Magic World go for a quick trip to visit his family in Wales, circa 1984-6. and suddenly everything about Howl Pendragon aka Howell Jenkins suddenly makes a lot more sense
