While the old media giants abdicate their duty in deference to power, it's nice to see new ones step up. The Verge's Harris endorsement (really, a Trump renouncement) is very very good: www.theverge.com/24282022/...

Dunno what it means for the election but at this point it's clear that Trump is just bucket-listing. Cosplaying at McDonalds, hanging out with The Undertaker, headlining Madison Square Garden, he's working through his list.

I am very personally here for this moment in time when a whole bunch of tech billionares decided to very publicly punch themselves in the dick. Long may it last.

In 2020 I was unsuccessful in selling American Heel, a podcast about Trump and pro wrestling. Because of *waves hands in all directions* I recently revisited the two rough cuts I made and they're still relevant. So here, rough edges and all: dansinker.com/posts/202...
