More people are questioning the effect of digital tech, AI, and even streaming on culture — and some are even going back to analog! In light of that, this week we’re replaying a great interview with @lizpelly.bsky.social about music, streaming, and Spotify. Full ep: techwontsave.us/episode/309_...

If this year was about getting off US tech, 2026 is the year to reassess the digital revolution — what works, what doesn’t; what to keep, and what to reject. I’ve only just started to consider what needs to change about how I use digital technology, but I’m excited to learn more next year.

2025 is coming to a close — and that means it’s time to wrap up the biggest stories and worst people in tech! This week @jathansadowski.com and @bcmerchant.bsky.social join @parismarx.com to give their insights on the past year. Full ep: techwontsave.us/episode/308_...

close game?

Also the worst person on earth in general

I voted for Thiel, but Musk has been working really hard for the title, so I guess he deserved it.

Peter Thiel's lectures on the anti-Christ weren't nearly enough to make up for Elon's mass murder spree.

Second place for NZ! per capita that's basically first place 🥳 #nzpol

Last day for voting for the ultimate tech dbag championships! I'm not sure what the grand prize is, but I'll be disappointed if it's not being tossed into a woodchipper

As a devout atheist, the only evidence against my conviction is that Satan is walking the earth in the guise of Peter Thiel.

I'm going with Thiel because he's smarter and has whatever addictions he's got under control

imagining now what a different world we would live in if a particular car accident had had a different outcome.

If hell is real, both of these guys belong there, but Musk's gutting of USAID is going to be remembered as one of the worst acts of social murder this century.

Choosing between these two is impossible.

Coincidence that it’s down to a white South African dude and a German dude who grew up in South Africa and then in a Nazi community in South West Africa (now Namibia)?

Look it's these two every year and it always will be, as long as they live.

Two of the most heinous cunts of our era.

earnestly believe the correct vote here is for peter theil. frankly i don't want elon to win anything, anyway. he'd take it as an honor

Called it. These two douche canoes are utterly deplorable examples of humanity.

I would pay good money to see Sisu III where the protagonist hunts Silicon Valley Boers for deportation to a Dyson Sphere penal colony

Rooting for Thiel. But Musk's bullshit will triumph, as it always does.

The inevitable clash of the South African racist, 'want to rule the world' bros. Split the damn prize and be done.

🚨 THE FINAL TWO 🚨 From thirty-two candidates, we’ve now made it to the final round where Elon Musk and Peter Thiel will face off for the crown. Who will win? You decide! 🗳️ Cast your ballot: twsu.forms.app/wpit25-final

This was such a difficult decision

The world is watching Australia’s attempt to put a stricter age limit on social media. It was great to chat with @cameronwilson.bsky.social to learn more on how it’s going and what lessons we might take from the Australian experience.

it's christmas :)

the four horsemen of the apocalypse

Like all good tournaments, the favourites meet in the semis.

Alex Krap should be given a special prize, whoever the winner be.

Can I split my vote equally, four ways?

can't miss wrap up of all things tech from the best in the biz!!

Thiel vs Altman vs Musk vs Zuckerberg? Sounds like a 4 way tie to me. Yet another reason we need to BAN THE BILLIONAIRE. #CallThemOligarchs

THE PAYPAL SHOWDOWN IS COMING

Luddite All-Stars ❤️

Australia’s ban of under-16s from social media platforms is now in force. But how is it working out? This week @cameronwilson.bsky.social joins @parismarx.com to discuss how the ban came to be and what might have been a better approach. Full ep: techwontsave.us/episode/307_...

We can stop right here, folks! Every one of them’s a winner!

Andreessen definitely has the talent and the track record to compete at this level and it's a shame Altman knocked him out in the last round. Otherwise, love this Final Four.

I respect this lineup. If any one of those four won I would cosign.

The final four. But they all are so deserving.

It’s Sam Altman’s year I feel it.

It’s getting harder and harder to choose. Help determine who will reach the final round of Worst Person in Tech 2025 by casting your vote!
