Today's episode is our discussion of Mindset by @zackkaps.bsky.social & @johnjpearson.bsky.social. ICYMI last week we provided an intro-free spoiler.

This is a great book and a perfect end to our thematic summer discussing the rise and fall of social media.

“What’s the point of doing something unless you can tell the whole world?”

Unfollow Vol. 2: God Is Watching by @robwilliams71.bsky.social & Mike Dowling. Fewer threads, sharper focus—but are all characters pulling their weight? Hear the breakdown before next week’s finale.

“What if all we are is swept away by something that wants nothing?”

This week, Mike & Alex dive into Unfollow Vol. 1 by @robwilliams71.bsky.social & Michael Dowling—140 strangers, 1 tontine, and a dying tech mogul. The setup’s strong… but do we know where it's going yet?
