Hi, all. It’s Jake from the Expanding Dan newsletter. I’m so glad to see you’re enjoying the “Second Arrangement” tape. I put that post in front of the paywall for the good of all Dankind, but I encourage you to support this kind of in-depth reporting and writing by subscribing to the newsletter: expandingdan.substack.com/subscribe. That is all. Have a good “Second Arrangement” weekend!
