Loqi finally stopped using her real name

I didn't get a new sketchbook just to have somewhere to put the Shapes Place sticker I ordered but I sure am looking forward to that sticker because I have the perfect place for it.

The bakery I work at is close enough to the former Speedway 95 in Maine that I can hear them driving on my breaks. It was recently bought by a retired Ricky Craven whose planning to revitalize it, he's from maine and I remember meeting him a kid at a signing event at a small a Walmart. Got a hat signed but have no idea where it went.

As a Mariners fan from before I have memories, hearing “I put all my hopes on the Mariners” pierced my heart.

i wonder how long it takes this movie to have more dialog than you get if you beat ofnir and grabcr quickly at the end of ace combat 5. glad vicki got to see light from the east when morning was coming

When I watched Lemans for the first time a couple years ago, its tone clanged against my expectations in a way that the epic of Grand Prix or the hero’s journey of Senna did not. It wasn’t what I expected, and during that viewing I never was able to quite lock on to why that was. This podcast has illuminated what that unexpected tone was: noir. This movie’s genre is a world-weary Racing Noir. If the race ended and someone did the Chinatown ending to Steve McQueen—“Forget it, Mike. It’s Lemans”—it would totally fit. Magnificent. I must give it another watch.

Really love the movie and loved this episode, all the stuff about the 'heart' of endurance racing etc. really resonated as well (the bit about motorsport maybe being mechsplo fucking sent me). I've been meaning to try and make it to Le Mans some year because I'm sure I'll have a whale of a time like Vicky's rolex experience, but I've managed to get just a smidge of it doing long team endurance races on iracing and its just an indescribable experience. Thanks for another incredible episode both.

the discussion of the sunrise from V hits hard on this one. no capital P Passion is without sin, but its the only thing that gets you through the dark to that sunrise. any reason to be

the part about the relationship between a race car and driver being like mechsplo but good had me cackling, especially because i was on my bicycle at the time and have a long running bit with my friends about how i feel a mech/pilot relationship to it

HELP NEEDED: Editor to get my bits under 50 charac

I had been holding off on listening to this until I had a chance to rewatch the movie, since it's been a long time since I watched it. But I'm working on a project today and decided to listen anyway. I'm sooooo happy you homed in on the inexplicable feeling of racing through a sunrise as loadbearing part of endurance racing. I've only ever driven in one 24 hour race, and driving a car I built with friends around VIR as the sun rose is still my happy place a decade later. I appreciate other sports, but there's nothing that hits me like the joy and pain of endurance racing. I tried writing about this back when I was doing some articles for drivetribe, and I think that's all lost media now. Once you've physically, mentally, and financially RUINED yourself to drive in circles, the highs and lows you experience are so tough to describe to people that haven't done it. So anyway, now I have to go rewatch LeMans, and convince myself I still can't afford to go back to racing.

Big yes on the auditory hallucinations. I got home from my first 24hr Lemons race and could still hear race cars.
