While recording our end of the year worst tweets episode, Caleb lost power mid-recording due to the recent extreme weather in the PNW, so June and Janie decided to pivot into a free-form conversation about art and music. We decided to release it as bonus content while we finish two bracket episodes. Sorry for the delay, we'll get those out to you ASAP!

We discuss Samantha Fulnecky's abysmal essay and then unwrap the history of her family how this entire stupid situation was a transparently crafted grift from the start.

We start this ep by discussing how social media completely redefined Charlie Kirk's life and death through the use of "Kirkification" edits. Then we take a more serious look at the "Grieftech" industry-- people who want to revive the dead in the form of AI for profit.

The original plan was for Jeremy to join us to finish some of the news articles from last ep, but instead turned into a loose form discussion on some of the horrifying ways tech companies are profiting off of our isolation.

In the midst of a slew of Epstein dumps, Ed Zitron released an interesting article about Open AI that got lost in the noise regarding some, let's say, financial irregularities he believes are a possible sign of the bubble beginning to burst.

Caleb's friend, former spaces collaborator, and KTC discord mod Corby aka Noumena joins us for a wild ride through the world of r/kitchencels. This episode will be much improved with a visual guide, which can be found here:

Mia from the It Could Happen Here podcast joins us to talk about how billionaires are trying to control information to such a degree that they own the very concept of truth itself, from paying more to rig elections than they'd be taxed by their political adversaries, to buying out legacy news outlets, to Elon's new abomination "Grokipedia".
