Trump on Musk literal violence. Now you can eat the rich at $10 a pop. Do you make more per month than Xi Jinping? Sri Lankan uprising. Biden reads teleprompter instructions.

Well we had a major recording problem in which Josh's track stopped recording about 20 minutes in and wasn't realized until about 90 minutes into the podcast. So we released those first 20 minutes, tacked on an explanation and some recommendations. Sorry 'bout that. We were actually keeping the mood relatively light for once, too, which paradoxically makes me think there's some deeper force out there dictating that our overall tenor be one of doom.
