I really liked the names you chose for your taxonomy! Accreted is spot on. Rebellious and revolutionary also, conveys the reactive/constructive distinction nicely.
Also unsurprised that journalists would like to hear your take on Ellison given the, err, prescience of your past comments.

Given that these have led me to some of my favourite reads in the last few years, this has me incredibly excited!

The reading posts got me to on to The Tainted Cup and A Drop of Corruption. Which really doesn't need an apology, even if I'm now also stuck waiting for the next book.

They're not really goth, but I'm trying to place Creeper on here, and I keep oscillating between Circus and Dracula.
I say this with nothing but affection.

I reckon they could also move up if they replicate some aspects of Cognito's usability to other services.
I'm sure there *are* some well-reasoned and pragmatic reasons behind how Cognito works, but boy does it cause headaches.

Hot dogs in a wrap! Usually filled with (at least) mashed potatoes, ketchup and mustard. Often also "prawn salad", which is much better than it sounds.
They're pretty ubiquitous street food. It fucking whips.

Ach, I'm sorry my hometown is treating you like that. It does sound like the average Swedish experience though.
I would unironically say that climbing gyms are one of the few places where people are marginally more sociable. (Though I imagine that's too little and too late)

The first 20 minutes of this episode really encapsulates why I love listening to you lot every week. The perfect balance of emotional gut punch and Im/mortal Coil.

Now that's a five star runtime!
Thank you all for a really lovely journey!
I only started it a few weeks ago, and caught up just last week, but I'm aware it's been much longer for y'all.
It's given me a much deeper appreciation for the series! Very excited to follow you to new things!

I think the funniest part is that the generated responses are obviously weighted to be agreeable, so when he asks things like "will running the unit tests cause you to delete prod again?" or "will you continue to ignore my instructions?" he gets cheerful agreement.
