Raju: Last week, you were very critical of Biden, you said he didn’t even know who was pardoning. On 60 minutes, Trump admitted not knowing he pardoned a crypto billionaire guilty of money laundering. Is that also concerning?
Johnson: I don’t know anything about it.

An obscure lab accidentally billed the wrong insurance on March 13, and Aetna suspended all payments to my providers since. I happened to piece this together from obscure lines in obscure portals. It can't get worse, but then it does.

Trump’s delusional if he thinks this ends with Bubba from Oklahoma landing a tech job. Tech firms will just move operations overseas to reach top-tier talent.

Last month, Congress voted to end public media’s federal funding. Now, local stations across the country are at risk of going dark.
That’s why we built adoptastation.org — a simple way to support a station in need.
Adopt one. Spread the word. Save public media.

Whole Foods in my town is completely enshittified. I've watched its decline since the Amazon acquisition. Now, empty shelves, rotting produce and flies (in summer, no less!), room temp meat in barely cool fridge section, almost no grains, etc etc.

Make no mistake: Many, many women have powered #podcasting, then and now. I know this because I am one of them (I worked with Roman and Ira, too). The filmmaker didn't know or didn't care.
Much of my audio work counters historical erasure. It's wild to see it here.
