Jack Dorsey is getting into vibe coding and intellectual posturing. Elon and Trump are getting divorced. 2000 troops from the National Guard are being deployed to Los Angeles.

Jay and Ian talk about Twitter, which caught fire and halted last week. We dig a little bit into Twitter's infrastructure budget back in the day, and talk about MC Paul Barman and Stereolab. Also, ffmpeg is awesome and so is the Internet Archive.

Grok would like to talk to you about "white genocide". Ian and Jay would like to talk to you about BART, Qatari jets, and our kickstarter to buy some, uh, "facetime" with the President of the United States. Also, we review the CNN's docuseries "Breaking the Bird", giving it a solid 3 out of 5 "Larry Birds". Whoop! Whoop!

In today's show, Jay "Unit" Holler and Ian Brown talk about software testing and sponsoring open source software, updates to Mastodon's team (and Andy Piper taking over Tooting comms!), a darkhorse candidate for the papacy emerges, POTUS is losing his mind, we pour one out for "Around the Horn", Marc Andreessen hallucinates, and we review "Careless People".

Jay and Ian celebrate a few anniversaries. Another OPSEC fail by Pete Hegseth. Faiz Siddiqi's new book on Elon's descent into madness. Gottlob Frege's been dead for a 100 years. Weird vibes and vendor lock-in with LLMs.

Rise again! Wake and bake! Join Jay and Ian they celebrate Easter or 4/20 or whatever. On this episode: RFK Jr. is an uniformed fool. Slopsquatting is a thing. Fuck ICE. Ian made another Emacs thing. ffmpeg is nigh unstoppable. Has Sub-Pop sold out? We are all Jay Holler.

Cybertrucks are too big. People are getting disappeared. Hating Tesla is a crime. Jack Dorsey is a sad sack of a simp.

Run your own Mastodon instance, they said. It will be fun, they said. In this episode Ian and Jay discuss the perils of provisioning, Linux system administration, Elon Musk's neverending meltdown, Cybertruck parking, and the growing use of facial recognition technology by billionaires against the public. Oh, right, and that time the Secretary of Defense accidentally texted America's war plans to a rando journalist in a group chat.

Welp. DOGE is full of irredeemable, racist idiots. Our VP thinks racism is OK. America shuts of aid & support to everyone on the planet except white South Africans. Oh, and Lilly Allen and David Harbour broke up. Sigh.

Elon musk is a Nazi: Jack Dorsey's "singular solution" does a bunch of "seig heil" salutes at a Trump inauguration event. Brandolini's law rules everything around us. Jay and Ian talk about Acetone.
