Thank you Freddie. There's quite an overwhelming amount of interesting looking pieces this month. I've already thoroughly appreciated Meghan Boilard's piece on Scott Adams' terminal cancer and death, which I must send to Simon and Julia of cult band The Indelicates! (it's a topic you can easily imagine covered on their last album, honestly). I loved Dilbert as a kid, weirdly, so it was a sad but super interesting read for me.
Happy Birthday lil guy! Freddie I am fully in favor of your letting that person analyse your poop, if that's the kind of thing you accept public input on.
Thanks for the link! This feature keeps getting bigger (I think we're up to 100?). Would it make sense at some point to divide the submissions by section, maybe adding a drop-down in the a Google form to identify pieces as Fiction/Tech/Culture etc, and organize the list under headers so people can more easily scan for what they're most interested in?
AstralCodexTen does something similar in grouping "Classifieds" into different sections, which makes it easier to navigate as the reader base has grown.
Aww - I think Scott Alexander's twins are cute too, but your little guy is seriously adorable.
What a bumper crop this time too. Calling out sick doesn't feel so bad with dozens of new things to read. I do wish to shamelessly commend Mark Newheiser's new fiction, which was a pleasure, and also got me to go back and re-read back issues of the same serial. (Which...I am pretty sure I also discovered through a Freddie Subscriber Writing, years ago!)
Thank you, Freddie. And birthday blessings!
Thank you for sharing my odd little autofiction. Honored to be included. Can't wait to parse through the other pieces!

Happy birthday to the little fella! I'm glad he has a better father than some.
