We take a trip down memory lane and discuss the history of alt-tech microblogging platforms like Parler, Gettr, Gab etc that, while failing, ultimately served to pave the way for Trump's Truth Social and Elon Musk's "X". As usual, along the way we discover some interesting critters.

Janie from the homie collective joins us again for the episode we were supposed to record last time, the worst tweets of Q3 and Q4. Part two coming shortly on Patreon. In the meantime:

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.
