New Episode of Why Tho? This one features a discussion of the 1934 Telecommunications Act, because I know what the kids want to hear! Incidentally, this wasn't intended to be timely but uh here we are. whythoapodcast.weebly.com/blog/episode...

There is, as of right now, no coverage of this protest on the WaPo website or in their @washingtonpost.com feed. So, if you (you reading this) want people to SEE this protest, you must share it.

I'm just gonna say it. I think the shit we had to read in school had a pretty damn good batting record. Great Gatsby, Lord of the Flies, King Lear, To Kill A Mockingbird, and Huck Finn all have highly salient themes today.

Your own. Personal. Overton.

In today's episode Henry IV finally takes the reigns of power. And begins making some questionable decisions. wittenbergtowestphaliapodcast.weebly.com/.../epis...

Does profound art best exist to keep us angry or give us the strength to keep living? The former could get us all to destroy ourselves without purpose, the latter to accept anything that comes along until it's too late. Anyway heres wonderwal. youtu.be/NWUjO_KSCfg?...

I am increasingly radicalized against poptimism. As I said last episode, could we finally have a synthesis please? culture.ghost.io/the-pro-pop-...

Why Tho? In the next few days. W2W writing is in progress.

At Boscov's and they are playing a cover of Higher Love that is somehow more gutless, glossy, and boring than the original. Never thought I'd miss 80s bougie pop.

Remember that time a basically senile president arbitrarily slapped a 45% tariff on imports because a stodgy American company couldn't get out of its own way, and then it backfired spectacularly and the US backed down? And it was the 1980s? Honda remembers. youtu.be/qE04rTNQqmc?...

The LAPD says there was no violence and they had things under control. The National Guard never even made it to their armories no matter clearing the streets. He’s declared victory and thinks he can dictate masks are illegal. This is a 2:41 AM lunatic post.

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake

Walking to the restroom at work and a guy is on his phone in the waiting area by the cafe. He is very agitated and shouts "Well where does it go?!" And I'm just like yeah man that is a good question.

In part 2 of my discussion with Gregg, we examine the concept of Papal supremacy in the middle ages based on the evidence already discussed in the show, and how the modern Church might feel about it in terms of later doctrinal developments. wittenbergtowestphaliapodcast.weebly.com/blog/episode...

Happy 100 to me! This is a special episode where I discuss Catholicism with Gregg from the @popeular.bsky.social. Fun Fact: This episode was recorded during the sede vacante between the death of Francis and the election of Leo XIV. wittenbergtowestphaliapodcast.weebly.com/blog/episode...

In the spirit of Mother’s Day, here’s a clip of Björk two-piecing a reporter who was stalking her and her baby.

This is seriously important. Completing something flawlessly feels amazing but you can only get there if you are willing to have fun flawless work.

Hey it just so happens that my buddy Gregg at the Popeular history turns out to have a topical episode in his back catalog! Check out this episode on the new pope before he was pope.

There is a youtube channel! It's just the podcast, but slower. youtu.be/b37PaLrqvtY

that hitler was a fucking coward in the end is one of those details that his contemporary worshippers like to ignore

What do you think the name of the next Pope will be? Wrong answers only. I'm going with Pope Popey McPopeface.

Went to a panel on using real weird things from biology to create your monsters for horror and it was the most neurodivergent room I have ever been in. Just a whole lot of people (audience included) sharing their favorite disturbing nature facts for an hour.

This video goes somewhere I did NOT expect. @regularcars.bsky.social youtu.be/9A9eSiszLC0?...

The next Why Tho episode comes in around 2 hours, but is super fun. The one after this is about Atom and His Package. Anyone have any thoughts about Atom?

“frankly, he has not won an election since before I was born” Lmaooooo

Nothing: No one: A local cricket: chirp My brain: Hey remember when all of Facebook was ads and promotional materials for Squatty Potty? I wonder what marketing genius retired at 35 for making that into a cultural moment. I have started a deep dive and oh god I had forgotten about the unicorn.

Anyone know anything about circular saw blades? I need at least one circular 6.5 in for a track saw, I also have a regular circular saw whose blade is getting dull. Can I sharpen that?
