This right, of course, but what's missing is almost that all of the top podcasts on this list were produced by public radio, and you can see public radio talent scattered throughout the rest of the list. The model for heavily produced and reported audio is nonprofit. It always was.

Oh yeah things are falling apart. You've got paranoid guys on Blind freaking out now

When there was positive economic data under Biden, the New York Times told us to worry, with headlines like: “Why a Strong U.S. Economy Is Making Stock Investors Jittery” and “Inflation Has Been Easing Fast, but Wild Cards Lie Ahead” But when there is worrisome data under Trump, NYT reassures us:

I emerge from the time machine and see my teenaged self. “Wow,” she says. “You’re me...but, like, old.” “Yeah,” I tell her. “Are you here to let me know it gets better?” she asks. “What? God no—it gets SO much worse. I just came for my last few gulpfuls of clean air.”

We tend to look back on millenial culture as cringe because it was earnest and exemplified the "new sincerity". There was a parallel earnestness in tech (remember "don't be evil"?) Now that we've backlashed into the "who cares" era, I deeply miss the cringey sincerity. dansinker.com/posts/2025-0...

Extremely funny to me that right wingers are combing through the new pope’s old tweets and trying to cancel him like Disney just cast him in a live action Frozen remake

"Flatten the curve" is maybe the most successful slogan of the last 10 years and conveys a relatively complicated idea! The difference is that the media helped explain and operationalize its underlying message. With "Defund the police" the media did the opposite.

"What trillion-dollar problem is AI trying to solve?" Wages. They're trying to use it to solve having to pay wages.

IF TRANS ISSUES ARE SO INCONSEQUENTIAL DOES SOMEONE ON THE NYT MASTHEAD WANT TO EXPLAIN WHY THEY SPENT THREE YEARS RUNNING A1 “INVESTIGATIONS” INTO SAFE AND EFFECTIVE MEDICAL CARE AND THE LANGUAGE CHOICES OF NON-PROFITS AND HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS????

These people have spent years saying the cancellation of college lectures was a slippery slope to totalitarianism. Now that marginalized minorities are losing their rights — literally the Niemöller poem — it's just an oopsie with no broader implications.

ITS SHUT THE FUCK UP FRIDAY This is a very important message you should share with the people in your life that may be hitting the streets to protest: never talk to the police! WATCH:

this part should be aired over and over — the complete off the charts mental derangement of the president of the united states as he declares, minutes after threatening World War III, his eternal bond to Putin, as a victim of stuff that came out of Hunter Biden’s bathroom

they don't, and it has been the explicit message of the GOP for my entire adult life which makes Democratic 'bipartisanship' for that entire span a grotesque abdication of duty

i hope more than anything what people learn from this 2nd trump term is that the capitalist class are aligned and they want you to have less rights and only want you to exist to generate profit for them

On Monday, Iceland celebrates Bolludagur, or Bun Day. And you know what? There is nothing stopping you from doing so too. All you need is sweet buns filled with cream and to spank someone, preferably while they are still in bed.

The "campus free speech" and "cancel culture" panics were obvious efforts to seed the ground for a huge expansion of left-wing censorship and right-wing propaganda. That effort appears to have worked.
