May 12, 2023 WDB 33) Computers Are Stupid
If you stick around to the end, we pre-review some of the albums we'll be talking about next week, but the rest of the show is more or less a reminder to podcast responsibly while we rediscover Steve Albini's thoughts on Odd Future from 2011, talk about food analogies, go over Utah's role as the newest battleground in the Woke Wars, read way too much of Cory Doctorow's essay "The Enshittification of TikTok," hit some major themes from episodes 6 and 7 of Season 4 of Succession, give some more thoughts about the 40 hour work week, and even talk a little MATLAB.
