But…that's delightful, actually? Black Phillip was basically playing himself!

Yeah, I get the sense that her signing the pact with Black Phillip is sort of a last resort. There isn't any kind of relief or satisfaction on her part at all as far as I can tell until she actually begins floating.

My understanding is Political Compass really wants to convince people they were secretly libertarians all along.

Oooh, ooh! Go visit Wallace Steven's insurance building if you have time.

fucked up how there are like a million songs about christmas but exactly zero songs about dudes with common sense and a fair view of the world

This sounds superb. I will almost certainly watch my third or fourth episode of that show.
