Links and Show Notes:
Things kick off with a second episode in which John has to force a context transition, then Merlin commiserates about how bad apps and institutions can be.
In Follow-Up, Merlin introduces both new data and new methodologies to Things It Took Me Too Long to Realize, and John shares yet another instance of erroneously blaming an animal for something bad happening.
Topic one seems like it'll be a topic about how an aging gentleman grooms, but then it ends up being about follicle madness, acceptance, and retaining the sort of friends who'll tell you when your fly is down.
Finally, John has a really good music topic that ends up going into feelings and the sublime subtleties of ardent fandom.
