Ending the Euro isn't anti-European or a step back. You can still do joint foreign and defense policy. You can still have free trade and banking union. An end to the Euro means greater transparency, accountability and thus - ultimately - a stronger Europe.

We’re living in a childless, extended-adolescence hell, listening to unbearable cunts opine endlessly about theory and trending issues from the comforts of their bubbles, despite having almost no experience of anything beyond running their fucking mouths to people just like them.

Agriculture saturates soils and plants with herbicides in the final stretch before harvest, leaving chemical residues that travel from field to plate and into the bodies of the masses who depend on that food. In the relentless pursuit of ever-higher yields, the industry treats the land as a production line and the crop as mere output, while the quieter question of human health—of what these persistent toxins do to our cells, our gut, our long-term vitality—barely registers in the equation.
Our government via various agencies such as the EPA, USDA, FDA say it is all OK….now move along.
Is it?
John never asked anyone to agree with him. He only demanded they think, and in an age that rewards certainty, he made skepticism entertaining. He could dismantle a headline with a raised eyebrow, a dry laugh, and a sentence so sharp it left you wondering why you ever chose to believe it in the first place.
Every Thursday and Sunday, with his co-host @adamcurry, felt a little less like listening to a podcast and a little more like pulling up a chair at the smartest, funniest bar in town... Filled with fizzy drinks and Costco wines. The conversations were always gold.
He had that rare gift of making cynicism feel hopeful. Because underneath every sarcastic jab was an old-fashioned belief that the truth was worth chasing... even if it took a few detours through complete nonsense.
The show's sign-off was always, "In the morning..."
...Now it lands a little differently.
Thanks for the laughs, the eye rolls, the odd noises, the media literacy, and the reminder that every story deserves one more question.
In the morning, Sir John.
RIP JCD

Thank you all for the amazing outpouring of support for John, his family, the show, the entire No Agenda family. John you are missed, but you leave a lasting impression to everyone you angered, annoyed, and most of all, entertained. Godspeed you old tech grouch. ITM.

Rest in Peace John C. Dvorak. This wonderful tribute below describes his recent and very successful podcast. For decades starting at the advent of microcomputers, Dvorak was a leading advocate for the empowerment and business of computing. His writing was truly a voice of the PC generation.
The first book of his I read was "The Rise and Fall of Osborne Computer" which is the ultimate story of pre-PC microcomputer travails and hubris, one that meant a lot to me because I too was Osborned.
I began reading him regularly with the weekly trade magazine InfoWorld and his monthly columns in the OG PC Magazine where he synthesized, reviewed, and commented on the weekly goings on of the PC era. He documented the rise of the PC, Mac, Windows, and the roller coaster that was OS/2 and the companies and people doing it all. Many times we'd meet at the cafeteria for lunch and a Dvorak column would be a topic of conversation. Running into him at COMDEX was an exhausting rapid fire debate, which I had in the early 1990s regarding the fate of OS/2 at a Microsoft Systems Journal magazine party.
He also wrote many books for using the PC and early software. He continued to write over a dozen books over two decades. His name literally meant PC, though no relation to the turn of the century keyboard layout.
Below is a classic column written after attending COMDEX in November 1985. If you've seen Halt and Catch Fire then this would be contemporaneous with that pitch perfect depiction. This was a special COMDEX because Windows 1.0 was already two years late and was finally about to ship—I was in college and received the disks in January. I just smile ear to ear reading this. You can just feel the wide lapels, big eye glasses, cigarette smoke, and polyester.
Thank you John for all you wrote and all you shared. May his memory be a blessing.
Godspeed John and thank you for everything. You’ll be sorely missed.
Sending my love to Mimi, your children, grandchildren, @adamcurry , @andrewhorowitz and everyone whose life you made better along the way with your wisdom and grousing.
