Open Thread #3: Better Late Than Never

Sorry for the delay, faithful commenters.

This is a photo of us being late. (And also, apparently, of us being in the Lumineers.)

What, did you think we forgot to start an open thread today? Well... we did actually. Apparently sometimes a job is just too easy to remember to do?

What other media outlet would 'fess up to its fuck ups like that? No one, that's who. Just more of the radical transparency and openness that you've come to expect from Racket.

You know how it works by now: Say whatever you want about whatever you want to talk about below. We'll pop in occasionally to answer questions and make sure you're being decent.
