Your point about the death of Twitter severing journalists’ connection with “culture” or the “real internet” is soooo on point and something I haven’t seen anyone else put together, and using the framing of that podcast list was genius!
Also, I’m going to be thinking about the replies to that Linda lady’s tweet for...a while
I listened to a short podcast yesterday which was a convo between Ed Zitron and Taylor Lorenz about covering the internet now and how nobody is doing it right (and some other stuff). His new pod is great - and perfectly timed @ 15 minutes.
That anti-porn poster is just like all of the weirdos I grew up around in white evangelical world. The only thing new about it is the out-of-context exposure.

Absolutely floored that you happened to link my favorite Johnny Hobo song. Well played, sir. I see you.
I get the newsletter via email and in the Substack app. I don’t think I’ve ever read it in my email. How does that register in terms of ‘opens’?

What part of this post wasn't smart or great?
That's a trick question.

Maybe i’ll have to listen to the cursed podcast list to fill my lonely content free hours JK i’m not THAT sick with internet withdrawal!
glad to click the link to & see Johnny hobo
iTunes is a sidebar item you can enable in the Preferences in Apple Music for macOS. (It’s a separate app on iOS.)
The reason I know this is that iTubes is (or was) the only way to get Tidal exclusives (i.e. Beyoncé) on Apple Music.
Interesting thoughts on tiktok and I really hope you’re wrong about popular memes becoming the new tv shows. That sounds really bad.
