Don’t Wreck Yourself Podcast

The most dangerous people of all are the normalisers. This is a classic of the genre.

We went from supporting a genocide to “hold my beer, here’s how you genocide.”

We are back, fighting the okay fight, and putting the internet back on course!

HIATUS OVER?

Screenshot of a BBC Headline reading Duck dies after being ‘attacked’ in city park.

News in the US: Los Angeles remains on fire. Why can’t people get enough of Barron Trump? Starbucks reverses its open bathroom policy to keep the poor out.

News in the UK: A Solitary Duck has Died Under Suspicious Circumstances.

We’ll have what they are having please.

Your philosophy? Neizche.
Your pastry? Knish
Your mode of eating said pastry? Nosh.

btw if we resolve to keep our individual joke post:the-situation-is-dire post ratio at 3:1 min (pref 5:1 or better) we could save this site from becoming twitter. “Becoming twitter” is a fate worse than death so maybe consider this concept. In order to lead my example I will next post about butts

Nothing we us in it!

*WARNING LOUD*

Season 2 if off with a crash!🐻
Ryan and Cap reintroduce themselves and the show before discussing Stephen King's novel word for breasts, how to fight a bear, and the (at the time of recording) ongoing hunt for the United Healthcare CEO assailant.

Listen to S2E1 "Schrödinger's Rodeo"

Me Too named Time person of the year

A rapist named Time person of the year 2024

2017 cover compared to 2024

It only took 7 years after #MeToo graced the cover to put a rapist on the cover.

The criticism “Does not reflect reality.” …says the guy who was bequeathed his job because the last guy got shot to death in reality. Maybe they should look into this alternate reality… just to be on the safe side.

Do you smell burning feathers?

We often play a game called Questionable Headlines.

Who is this analysis for?
Who are their corporate assassin experts?

Headed to Philly to smush some nerds in bear hugs @ PAX unplugged! Who’s gonna be there

A list of Stephen King Books with red dots next to ones I’ve read

Alright Constant Readers!

I’m still on my journey to read all of King. What should my next pick up be? 📚

Journalists flock to Bluesky as X becomes increasingly 'toxic' Journalists are finding more readers and less hate on Bluesky than on the platform they used to know as Twitter.

Bluesky is winning because both twitter and threads have gone out of their way to make their platforms inhospitable to reputable journalists and news. @kattenbarge.bsky.social reports:

Uncle Jim, 1942 In my earliest memories of Jim Ida, my great-uncle, he was already an old man. I remember him as a slender man with gray hair and wire-rimmed glasses, soft-spoken with a gentle smile and a slight stoo...

Good morning. For this month’s newsletter I wrote about my family’s experience of the WWII Japanese American incarceration. A somewhat expanded version of my thread from a few weeks ago. newsletter.sakeriver.com/uncle-jim-19...

You didn’t ask, but we are with you and we agree!

You may not see me post much, but always happy to chat in DMs. Using Bluesky to stay up to date with the industry and slowly but surely reduce my reliance on Twitter! 🥰

No need to take it slow. Not sure what your reach was on Twitter, but this is a much easier platform to get eyes on your posts.

This is kind of a check your vibe announcement on this new platform: if you are here fleeing from misinformation and disinformation addled internet lunatics, remember that they can target us too. Double check your sources before reposting and becoming an internet lunatic.

Basically the UK as well...

He isn’t the voice of reason he’s just got a tighter orbit around reality than the guy he’s criticizing.

We discussed an image circulating on Reddit that referenced this accidental death. Here is much better reporting…

Imagine being so pickled in politics that this is a leader in the party claiming the objective moral truth.

In today's ep, we take stock of all the things we're grateful for. Cap gives Ryan three minutes to say his piece on the new rise of fascism before they turn to Turkey-day topics.

Somewhere along the way, Ryan recounts his run in with the Turkish mob during a college trip to Istanbul.
