34 million Americans watched this episode.

@DanielPriestley Your posts are sooo long. Please use AI to summarise and to be more concise. This is no way to communicate in today’s age.

@jackfruitstaken I think Industrial Metal is more likely to denote Ministry and Fear Factory

[Mark Alastor @MAlastor1]

@OldRituals @jackfruitstaken Yield and the 2006 self-titled are good

Smoke-filled rooms and conventions are better party nomination devices than primary elections.

The idea that America has been just some libertarian success story is out of a children’s book. State directed prosperity is a big part of our story.

Hey everyone we made a model potentially as good as someone else’s. It also takes up way more compute. No real clue how we’ll monetize it, and we haven’t been able to stand up an API service for our current one. Anyway, see ya

@lwoodhouse @razibkhan It's basically "here's how I'll still get myself invited to podcasts"

These tough guy right-wing pundits have the same emotional dysregulation issues as the most frantic Trans activists. Always with the knee-jerk cognitive distortions: the constant melodramatic catastrophizing, the whiny performative bellyaching at the slightest perceived adversity.

Who is he claiming "did this to us"? Wouldn't the chief culprit have to be... Donald Trump? Because he's the one who appointed the Supreme Court Justice these guys are now in a frothing apocalyptic rage over -- after previously being good little GOP soldiers and championing her Bold Conservative Warrior credentials when it was time to fast-track her nomination: https://t.co/8d733GNjXx

And oh by the way, "birthright citizenship" was the law of the land all throughout your prior 40 years in America. Today's ruling simply affirmed the status quo. (There's no way you even read it.) You guys just constantly need America to be teetering on the edge of some imagined dystopic destruction, even when the political faction you spend your whole lives agitating to empower controls all three branches of government.

Constitutional amendment barring emotionally volatile podcasters from becoming top FBI officials. Let's do it
