289: You Get the Gist During an appearance on The Gist with Mike Pesca, hosts Bob Garfield and Mike Vuolo discussed the curious backstory of, you guessed it, the word gist. 🎧Listen: lexiconvalley.supportingcast.fm/listen/lexic... #lexiconvalley #podcast #onlanguage #gist @milkepescs.bsky.social

Yeah this is what happens when you assign a political story to either a junior staffer or AI who doesn't understand that Maryland doesn't have periods between the M and the D, and that Bill Cassidy is a medical doctor from Louisiana.

Did not even know this was a possible career path

You're not gonna do an effective takedown on the former Chicago Public School teacher with that kind of grammar @bloomberglp.bsky.social

But here's how the quoted essay actually concludes

6 7: Everything You Don't Know About the Word of the Year Mike Vuolo and Bob Garfield join and The Gist’s Mike Pesca @milkepescs.bsky.social to talk #67 —from rapper Skrilla to the basketball court to #wordoftheyear. 🎧 Listen: lexiconvalley.supportingcast.fm/listen/lexic... #podcast #lexiconvalley

@milkepescs.bsky.social is a great interviewer who asks questions that most don't ask.

Do you think this was an intentional pun?

I've listened to several interviews now with Karine Jean-Pierre and all of them were somewhat interesting in her incoherence. But this was the best I've seen a host do with someone who claims to have something to say while refusing to say it. I cannot imagine wasting time on her book.

A big thanks to @milkepescs.bsky.social for having me on The Gist - and for remembering all the stats! podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/a...

There are a couple of possible interpretations to this.

HARK DAILY - Today's best podcast moments in one playlist, featuring: - Is it time for a Blue-state "soft secession"? @davidfaris.bsky.social - What does Israel mean to American Jews? @geedee215.bsky.social - The enshittification of the internet @milkepescs.bsky.social

Anyone have any spots in your fantasy basketball league? Our old one collapsed bc of of the government shutdown. (Actually the Commish had a heart attack. But that was, I assume bc of the shutdown. ) Seriously, we're here to help and fill holes.

Word count on this is 381 words including "indictment" and "True Bill" - any federal lawyers seen a shorter indictment? I'm sincerely unsure how common this is

Walking and talking anout H-1B visas And look who I encounter, Its @davidho.bsky.social who says of the new Trump Proposal "Of All The Stupid Things tbis regime has done "charging $100k for these visas is one of the stupidest. youtube.com/shorts/4ccnP...

This is great. I'm 3 wanna be 4 and either 7.75 or 8.25 depending on what the listeners are mad at today.

While hosting The Charlie Kirk Show JD Vance brought up the mistake that had to be corrected in this very article as an example of propaganda and a justification for crackdown on "the left". While that's dangerous and disingenuous, I do think the Truth Valuers need to strive be more truthful.

The Polish Foreigner Minister's words as translated here seem insulting to Donald Trump. Which is not good, Trump monitors media before his own State Department and is given to take insults to heart. But I watched the actual press conference and thats not really what the man said....

This is what it takes to be the number one left-leaning news podcast in America. Just keep serving the audience what it wants to hear. A steady narrative soothing their anxieties presenting every development as impending deliverance for their cause. It's religious.

You know who doesn't find it "cool"? Hundreds of Billions of dead ants.

Did public media sow the seeds of its own destruction? Podcaster and former @npr.org reporter and producer @milkepescs.bsky.social gives his take.

That's it. That's all of it.
