Latest episode

The best magazine. Sometimes a great podcast. Really don’t need the Biden propaganda though, or to be told how things the most important election. Perhaps try spinning the fact that it’s the least consequential election of our time, with the two worst candidates we’ve ever had.

Boring

The Adam Gopnik episode on March 22 told me absolutely nothing that I did not already know. I found it utterly boring and I was shocked to think this was somehow New Yorker worthy. Nothing intellectually stimulating here at all. There are so many more important issues to cover and to see this sludge get in the way makes me lose faith in this publication. We are literally watching tech companies take over nearly every facet of life in this country as they contribute to an incredible wealth gap fueled by anonymous greed, lobbyist corruption, and political opportunism. In 10 seconds I can come up with more valuable and intriguing story ideas than this.

excellent podcast about trump/authoritarianism. the problem is this authoritarian minority is ruling like it is the majority and getting away with it in the courts and the help of no spine merrick garland. our gov needs to dump the electoral college because it doesn’t allow the majority to rule and that is the way the senate is setup too. kill the filibuster & the electoral college and that would be a good start. plus i do blame the media companies for not hitting trump back hard in 2016 when he was being the filthy pig he is to hillary clinton and i say that as a bernie supporter. mainstream media needs to stop being so dainty about trump and his flying monkeys!
