I really hope young folks just discovering Leverage understand that in 2008 a Tesla meant basically the opposite of what it means in 2025. They were so exciting. We were so hopeful.

You see I too often sat in school classes and thought “when am I ever going to need this, I’m never going to be an engineer, I’m never gonna be a scientist, I’m never gonna be a linguist” and then I grew up and it turns out a lot of bigots and cults and scams and grifts hinge their entire business model on you just. Not knowing what a protein is or some shit

Valentin: breathes

Priestess and apparently Everyone on the ship: listen here you son of an absolute shellfish, if I have to exhale the same oxygen as you one more fucking time

So it's going well

It’s Audio Drama Sunday and I am on vacation, which ironically means I am not at all caught up on podcasts. What a blessing, to have the stories in my ears for work to make that work pleasant and to have rest that is actually restful. But let’s talk about the episodes that I actually got around to!

🐏 What kind of romance novel day is ya boi Isaac having in @landsendpod??? I love this guy. What a good counterpoint to the Shepherd, and finally a hint of answered questions about what’s going on with the sheep. And, evidently, the Shepherd himself as well. Whether or not Isaac is right remains to be seen—whether or not his spirit of scientific inquiry will lead into a Jurassic Park situation is something I’m VERY interested to find out.

🗝️ I am a huge fan of everything Jesse Hall makes because I love stories that are inextricable from their setting. Even when Tales of THATTOWN did forays into sci-fi and dystopia, it felt true and real and grounded in a way that I feel is rare in fiction in general. There’s so much more you can do in a fiction podcast too, and Hall takes as much advantage as he can. All that said, his new show, @lockboxpod, does not disappoint. The framing device is strange and surreal in a way that I’m really tickled by, and the story itself, which at first presents itself as a fairly simple premise, zig-zags into a small-town horror of corruption and bigotry. I’m really looking forward to the next installment.

🌕 This week I started listening to Chaika! I’d heard good things, and though I’m only a few episodes in, but I’m finding this story of isolation and synthetic friendship really engaging. If you’re a fan of Girl In Space, this is along similar lines with a very different mystery. Whether or not the bad guy is capitalism remains to be seen.

Listen. I know this isn’t comprehensive. There’s new Kakos Industries and Night Vale and Travelling Light. The Deca Tapes started their second season. Don’t even get me started on Malevolent. The Last Dance is staring me down Kubrick-style. But I’ll catch up when I can, because this vacation must not be wasted. See you next week!

The City of Atlanta Georgia has decided to demolish the research and conservation center of the Amphibian Foundation. This organization works tirelessly to conserve the Frogs, Toads, Salamanders, Newts, and other amphibians in the United States. In addition, they provide key education for herpetologists on the care, conservation, and preservation of reptiles and amphibians.

This emergency need is compounded by the government mass firing of conservation officials and the pulling of funds from many of the country's conservation organizations.

If you can help please donate here:

Key points from the Amphibian Foundation.

Our building will be demolished in 2026, and we need to identify a new location (or locations) for 7 labs and over 1,000 animals, many of which are endangered and part of critical conservation programs.

We've identified a new location for most of AF, but not our research and conservation programs. We have an amazing lead, but it's not confirmed yet.

Our first fundraising project is the AF Emergency Fund as the minimum cost estimates to move this many labs and animals safely is $50,000. (It costs about 50 USD per animal to move them)

If you can't donate.. please share... here.. and everywhere else.

I do like that Father David's state of being during confessions oscillates between "weird but technically not a sin" and "no, hang on, go back a minute, that was for sure a sin, also probably a crime?"
