A stylized red painted letter V in a dripping circle. The graffiti from the comic “V for Vendetta.”

Remember, remember the fifth of November.

Based on recent rumors, my interest in the Snyderverse has increased from 0 to 0.0.

We know they’re not great, but it’s hard to muster enough motivation to bother to leave. In today’s episode, motivated by the assination of Charlie Kirk, Cal puts on his technology critic hat and offers a step-by-step technical explanation for why these platforms are strictly and incessantly making your life worse and why the only reasonable response is to quit them. He then answers listener questions on the topic and reacts to some recent news about the US Congress getting involved.

Say what you will about the movie Johnny Mnemonic, but I think it's anything but forgettable.

I've watched Clue more than any other movie. Many, many times. I've almost figured it out. 🔎

Say what you will about Thundarr. I'm sure his table manners were better than Ookla's.
