    Democracy Dies When We Let Billionaires Buy Newspapers

    In under 40 minutes (Ian had to take the kids skiing) Jay and Ian send out good vibes to Owncast's Gabe Kangas, laugh at Donald Trump's assault on efficiency, lament the downward spiral of the Washington Post, and rejoice in the small-world serendipity that have brought Tim Bray, Rob Sayrer, and Claude together. Get well soon Gabe!!!

    War all the time.

    It is war all the time. Ian and Jay say what everybody else is saying. Nothing really revalatory in this show, since the Trump administration no longer gives a f**k about the Constitution they don't even try to hide it. The President is slurring the quiet part at press conferences. Also, it is a war, so innocent people are getting hurt and killed. Ian and Jay try, unsuccessfully, to end things on a high note, with a couple of jokes and some hopeful thoughts about the Fediverse. Oh well. So it goes.

    Wiles Times

    Ian has (self-diagnosed) carpal tunnel from too much doomscrolling. The Wall Street Journal let an LLM manage a vending machine and it lost thousands of dollars, ordered live fish and a Playstation for workers, and was completely pwned. Suzie Wiles, JD Vanace, Stephen Miller, and Dan Scavino pose for a revealing photo shoot. The Sub-Pop store in Sea-Tac closes, and Elon Musk is giving financial advice.

    Times New Roman Salute

    We start off on a somber note as news of horrifying attacks at Brown and in Sydney trickle in. On a lighter note, Jay is excited to see that Lily Allen is on SNL this weekend, Marco Rubio declares war on Calibri, Marcin Wichary wants to see shift delimiters in markup languages, and we ponder the fate of the Twitter Time capsule before abruptly ending the show when the laptop battery dies. Enjoy!
