That’s why the @andrewhickey.500songs.com is such a great podcast. It implicitly acknowledges, and explicitly demonstrates, how desire works. You can never satisfy it, and that’s what makes it so worthwhile, and so enlivening.

Clearly, the X edit function has affected my ability to copyedit my own posts. I forget there's no get-out-of-typo-jail edit card on Bluesky.
