Trump manages to piss off even Breitbart. A brief Effective Altruism recap. Bob’s surprisingly convincing attempt to evoke empathy for SBF. Is all of crypto a scam or only most of it? How hairy is Mastodon? Elon (cont’d). Does Elon just need more sex? Unskewing Elon’s polls. “The first amendment is not at stake here”—Bob. “Yes it is”—Mickey. Mastodon isn’t that bad—really it isn’t. Are Silicon Valley oligarchs a threat? Ukraine: 1) the missile controversy; 2) the drone controversy. Has Ukraine missed its moment of peak negotiating advantage? Is there anyone who hasn’t ripped off Marvin Gaye? Does AI make rip offs easy? Bob’s daughter blows his cover. Are there any unwritten songs left? The Bob Dylan autograph scandal. Gawker/Peter Thiel flashback. Why didn’t immigration and crime win for Republicans? McCarthy is in trouble. Wormwood update: It’s looking like the CIA did it. Defenestrations through history. Waiting for the next Devs. Is everyone in southern California on drugs? At least they’re getting up early. Horned frogs poised for greatness. Ayahuascan therapy. Bob gets pen stuck in hair.
