Ayyy, it’s a weird week where Thursday came way too quickly for my taste, but with it is another edition of Down the Pipes. This weekly blog is paywalled, a paid subscription is required to read most content. If you know me personally or can’t afford a subscription, you can reply to one of my free emails and I’ll add you to the comp list. Some weeks will be immensely personal, some will be immensely political, and some will be immensely lazy (like this week!). But if you find yourself enjoying it, feel free to tell your friends.
