Batman: Caped Crusader with Leslie Lee III of Struggle Session
bit.ly
Half the time when Leslie Lee would come on my podcast (or vise versa) we would disagree on whether the film, comic or tv show in question was good.
But his take was always eye opening and he would show me something I hadn’t perceived before. Most recently re the Batman Caped Crusader show.

if Zillow Ed is saying you've not only done crimes but that an OLC opinion won't immunize you, you may want to start making travel plans to a non-extradition country that also ignores the ICC
Does Pete Hegseth have a "golden shield" against prosecution in the form of a DOJ OLC opinion? Ed Whelan thinks not.

For folks on Qobuz: how are we sharing our playlists with non #Qobuz users? I think I’ve seen some sites that let you build a playlist that people can hear on their platform of choice? Or?
Now on Qobuz: my Thanksgiving playlist. A multigenerational-y pleasing autumnal mix of things you wish family would say & others you may need to tell yourself. Mostly soul, folk, rock, country from 50-80s + a tiny bit of new pop. And Alice’s Restaurant of course. open.qobuz.com/playlist/462...
