  • fascinating look at human psychology

    One time at work I was having what I considered and incredibly fun conversation/debate about the academie francais and attempts to standardize language and how our ideas of "grammatically correct" english inherently privilege white middle class americans.

  • This…is…my… … …review

    I gave this a podcast a shot because I enjoy Shutdown Fullcast, but I had to bail before I lost the ability to think in complete sentences. It’s dads talking about smoke detectors and what their kid wore to school at the slowest cadence imaginable. I’m all for the girl dad content, but there’s so much dead air it’s unlistenable.
