a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job

If you haven’t discovered WTF Just Happened Today, you’ve missed out on 7-ish years of (imo) the best daily news recap available. Member supported so throw some money their way so they can restart the podcast version!

For the membership, what helps you more - a steady $5 a month or $100 a year?

Thanks for the quick reply. I feel like there has to be a way to make that happen. What if you recorded it and put it on a monetized platform like TikTok?. Or alternately do you have a Patreon? Because if all you’re doing is looking to break even that would probably be an easy way to go. Just ideas

Hey Matt. Have you stopped recording the WTF podcast? I noticed that the last one was on 1/20 which, let’s be honest, is kind of a fitting day to end a thing. I have just gotten so used to hearing you each day in the car and I miss that.

One of the all-time great audio book “stunts” was releasing Lock In in two forms - one narrated by a man and one by a woman. What a mind-blower that was! I loved every second of listening to the book twice.

My submissions are in! Wanted to add FLOW but cried at the trailer. Don’t think I can watch that one right now.

Yeah… trusts are great in a lot of ways but also a huge pia if you have to make changes. Sending smooth vibes.

TIL today: “For centuries, bad odours were seen as carriers of disease, and only pleasant ones could protect against them. That’s why plague doctors used beak-shaped masks stuffed with dried flowers to shield the wearer from the potentially lethal smells emitted by their patients.” - The Guardian

I found out they had my BANK ACCOUNT, credit card, and ovulation tracking information.

UM, I had NO idea facebook was tracking everything I did on the internet. EVERYTHING. I have diligently blocked and followed all ways to try to stop this messed up social media from taking from me, but this is the final straw… THESE JERKS! AGH! [screenshots on how to do it in the comments]

Yet another urgent reminder for artists (or anyone) to create your own website. Do it today!! If people cannot access you for whatever reason on social media, they can at least find you on your website
