It's hard to explain how foundational this home run was. Kids spent years thinking about this homer instead of having the internet.

The best interpretation anyone could interpret

The Halloween season is a nostalgic one for me. I see lawn decorations and kids in costume, and I think back to the time in college when my friend Noah told me he thought the chorus of “Party Up” by DMX was “Y’all gon’ make me lose my mind, Pumpkinhead, Pumpkinhead.”

54 is probably the European size, which usually is us size +10 but also isn’t that exactly

Thanks I was there yesterday and it’s really awesome. Downtown LA is great, there’s a discount perfume outlet, like fifty diamond merchants and a very serious BDSM store on our block.

I think we who work at MaxFun know what kind of office (or not office) would serve us and the company best. And so many thanks to folks who've supported our move! I visited our new studio yesterday and it looks awesome. If you want stuff from our archive:

I'm proud to be a member of the coop. My job is connecting with talent and helping develop shows, and I advise the board when they want my advice. Our managing director has been making the day-to-day decisions for about a decade, and we've been a coop for two years. He reports to the elected board.

MaxFun is a 100% worker-owned cooperative. Our elected worker board decided we needed to move. They created a site search committee, who found a place. Then the full membership of the coop voted on whether to move there. For many reasons, the vote was a resounding "yes."

@jessethorn.bsky.social asking listeners to sponsor @maximumfun.org’s new office and supplies after choosing NOT to go remote is simultaneously the most perplexing and embarrassing final form of millennial-gone-Corpo
