rachel: speaking of experiments in content, do we want something on the debate last night? i am really baffled as to how to approach coverage of them at this point because it feels like there’s one every week and nothing actually happens in any of them
heather: In Lieu of Coverage About Last Night’s Debate, Nachos
riese: i could just do a listling without commentary where I pull random lines from last nights debate out of context and put them in a random order
the feature image could be a picture of nachos
rachel: i think that would really be the best of all possible worlds
riese: okay
i think i can get that done in about 45 minutes
SOMEBODY TIME ME
heather: okay tell me when to start!
riese: NOW[…time passes…]
riese: ok i’m looking for a nachos pictures and then can publish this
heather: 44:06!
riese: YES!
rachel: nice hustle out there, riese.
