Jen and Noam return after a weirdly offline week to do their best to explain the FTX situation, the journalist exodus to Mastodon (and who has already been kicked off a server) and the two big Trump announcements 

 

We will be on Callin this week Tuesday the 22nd at 8:30pm Eastern to discuss…well who knows at this point but maybe Jen’s big move and our thoughts on Wakanda Forever 

 

Show Notes (normally Jen gussies these up but she is extremely tired after this week’s adventures) :
