Noam and Jen discuss The Biggest News Ever - Elon Musk finally acquires Twitter. Also the awful Fetterman - Oz debate, the belated discovery that James Bennet did nothing wrong, the attack on Paul Pelosi, Taylor Swift’s alleged fatphobia, and how you can’t just be happy on Twitter without everyone hating you  

And as usual we will be on Callin at 8:30pm Eastern Wednesday night where there will be much Andor discussion and no HOTD discussion because no more HOTD 🙁
