While recording our end of the year worst tweets episode, Caleb lost power mid-recording due to the recent extreme weather in the PNW, so June and Janie decided to pivot into a free-form conversation about art and music. We decided to release it as bonus content while we finish two bracket episodes. Sorry for the delay, we'll get those out to you ASAP! Support Janie at https://www.janiedanger.com/

We discuss Samantha Fulnecky's abysmal essay and then unwrap the history of her family how this entire stupid situation was a transparently crafted grift from the start. Follow Parker at Pakermolloy.com on Bluesky or www.readtpa.com

We start this ep by discussing how social media completely redefined Charlie Kirk's life and death through the use of "Kirkification" edits. Then we take a more serious look at the "Grieftech" industry-- people who want to revive the dead in the form of AI for profit. Full Episode at Patreon.com/KillTheComputer

The original plan was for Jeremy to join us to finish some of the news articles from last ep, but instead turned into a loose form discussion on some of the horrifying ways tech companies are profiting off of our isolation. Support Jeremy at Patreon.com/Quorators
