"BUT THE DOW'S OVER 50,000!" (Uh, oh, folks...)

Why Pam Bondi's crashout is indicative of much deeper rot in the Trump White House - and why yelling about the Dow on the Hill isn't changing anything for Trump. He's mentioned in the Epstein files over... checks notes... a MILLION times! And how far is Trump willing to go to steal the election? And are we ready to fight back? Why Joe is less concerned about the state of the Democratic Party than some might believe. It's not about a blue wave anymore. It's a change wave.

Playing the game on the field

If we're going to introduce new RSS-based features, they should reflect what podcasters and listeners want. The biggest danger to our project is adopting our own pet-projects instead of building stuff creators actually want to use.

Building a Lego-Powered Submarine

As you know, I love me some Lego engineering builds. This one is pretty fun: using a large syringe, a Raspberry Pi, neodymium magnets, a controller scavenged from a toy submarine, and a bunch of Lego pieces, Brick Experiment Channel built a remote-controlled submarine.
