New year, new reasons to realize the internet was a mistake.

In Dead Letters, this dude keeps emailing me his book. So I decided to finally take Levar Burton's advice. I took a look.

Mountains of Madness has us discuss the doomed virtual reality dreams of Facebook/Meta, pivoting nicely into Artificial Insanity, which has perhaps our most disturbing story ever. It's an unfortunately high bar to clear. True crime TikTok and YouTube channels are using the likenesses of victims actual, real crimes to narrate their own tragedies. Yes, it is insane. Yes, it somehow gets worse.

Later we talk about the possibility of the NFL being rigged. And no, before you ask, it's not just because my team lost. Though it doesn't help. Look we have receipts, okay.
