Not a substantive post, just a pair of updates.
First, on Monday, Joel and I released the next episode of our big-books podcast. This is our year-in-review cast where we talk about many of the books we read over the past year. This is always one of our favorite episodes to record every year, and this one was particularly fun since we managed to be in the same room at the same time, a rare thing, since we haven’t lived in the same state since 2006. You can listen to it here!
Second, the Bulwark published an article I wrote about Star Trek, in which I talk about how weird it is that we can’t even trust Starfleet any more. Many thanks to Martyn Wendell Jones for accepting the piece and to Ben Parker for his insightful edits! You can read it here!
