D. Laing, reading the various parts of ±Ê²¹²õ²õ²¹²µ±ð²õÌýsimultaneously, postulating wild hot takes, and saying “fuck off” to a wide swath of bad actors. (Looking at you, Kanye.)

They talk about the way the two characters try to define themselves and create their identities, flow versus points, geometry and parallax, masks and threesomes, and more. It’s a dense—yet fun—episode, much in keeping with the text itself!
