Look, you asked for it. Fifth fan favorite (ed - we really don't understand you people) and Mother Jones editorial director Ben Dreyfuss (né Gould) is back. And the results are wonderfully shambolic. But seriously: make sure the kids are in bed before press play....

• Ben is "on leave" from Mother Jones
• Why Ben's editor blocked him on Twitter (and you should too)
• No ice in Hawaii, no avocados in Wisconsin
• The worst movie Ben's dad ever made (Or was it the best?)
• Why everyone in DC hates Facebook
• Why people read dumb articles on Facebook
• Ben starts a Substack. Obviously.
• What Ben learned about Donald Trump in the suicide ward
• Manipulating people on the internet
• And so much more...
