• How does Coil feel about the Merchants?
• Piggot's sympathy for the people of Brockton Bay and good policies around white supremacy

• If only the Wards had done those trainings sooner
• Jenny attempts to describe what the categories mean
• But why aren't these categories SCIENTIFIC siiiigh
• Changer vs. shifter vs. shaper
• Have they stopped underestimating Taylor...
• They certainly haven't stopped underestimating Coil
• What would happen if Taylor showed up at Piggot's door and told her about Coil?
• Soft-launching SlugBug
• Weld the smart jock
• Superpowers as a race metaphor
• Maybe Weld's just into ASMR
