Show Notes

“They just freelanced it,” is how one former employee characterized the decision. “Hacking was the excuse, but within a few hours, pretty much everyone realized that wasn’t going to hold. But no one had the guts to reverse it.” - Matt Taibbi

Didn't have time to read that whole thread on the censorship of Twitter and the obvious politicization of all of our social networks and big tech platforms? Well I'm happy to dive it. We read Part 1 of The Twitter Files today with a bit of a heated Guy's Take on why all this is happening, and the systemic, rather than the shallow causes of this increasingly dangerous problem.

whole episode was 🔥🔥🔥. The chilling of speech by government actors has long been known, but it feels damn good to see it confirmed. The real shame is that nobody will ever be held to account.

best we can do is undermine the system that supports them. truth always has its day because falsehoods are simply incompatible with reality. that’s what makes them false.
