This just in: Dominion wins part of lawsuit. Italy bans ChatGPT. What Zelensky said that Mickey thought was smart. Eat your heart out, Elizabeth Holmes: instant tests for cancer and Alzheimer's. Bob tries to entice Mickey into the Metaverse with promises of Sexbots—Mickey’s having none of it. Bob’s traumatic bachelor party memory. Mickey’s YouTube cancellation fears. The Nashville shooting. Mickey says Bibi’s judiciary initiative isn’t that bad. Bob says Bibi’s promise of a new right-wing militia is that bad. Would a Trump exit solve our problems? Bob doesn’t believe Mickey’s Trump vote rationale. Elon’s Bluedammerung. Is Substack in trouble? Over-the-counter Narcan: “What could go wrong?” asks Mickey. Think tank advocates murder. The Institute for the Study of War’s new racket. “The Allison Williams movie.” Mickey’s TED talk on administrative law. Bob’s brushes with greatness at TED. Is TPP back from the dead? Bob denies that Sam Harris is on his island. Mickey: Ben Smith is not a dick—but I’ll tell you who is. As the CHIPS crumble. Bob: Never watch a YouTube music video. Mike Murphy! Everything, Everywhere, and Eternal Sunshine.
