Welcome to NO PAYWALL PALOOZA

Five free days of Racket.

Due to website construction, our paywall will be deactivated until March 7.

The resulting event, NO PAYWALL PALOOZA, gives non-subscribers a chance to live out the enviable subscriber lifestyle free of charge. With one key difference, that is: Our comment section—which is a membership perk—will also be down during this period. Apologies to comment king Taco Mike.

Interested in subscribing? We'd love to have you, but you'll have to wait until next Tuesday. Ditto if you wanna sign up for newsletters. Already a subscriber? We love you, and good news: There's a vastly improved user experience waiting for you after the conclusion of NO PAYWALL PALOOZA. More on that soon!

In the meantime, enjoy feasting at this buffet of unlocked greatest hits:
