Haha, yep, don’t worry- I’m fully aware of this. It’s a running reference to a Terry Pratchett joke that Jamie and I keep referring to when I’m saying it wrong.

Last time we covered the life of Blackbeard before he was famous. This time? Well, it's time to understand why he is the most famous pirate of all time!

What’s going on with Elon? Well, speculation still, but it seems like this has happened:
1. Elon saw a way into Trumps inner circle through paying. Saw opportunity to get rid of pesky gov oversight.
2. On campaign trail Musk started lying as brazenly as Trump and it worked.

Oh, we have hit the Golden Golden age now! This is what we signed up for. Black Flags, Skull and cross bones, parrots! Levels of nudity that would ensure HBO would have to make the TV version! Black Sam has it all. totalusrankiump.podbean.com/e/11-black-s...

My hot Beatles take? Let It Be Naked is a much better album than Let It Be.

I know it’s not the most important thing currently. But I will forever be fascinated by the fact that the people surrounding Trump *constantly* look like Scooby Doo villains and people don’t talk about that fact!
In an age of optics, surely this proves that it means nothing.

Incompetence³
Talking about this on a commercial app x inviting a journalist x lying about what was said in the chat when THEY KNEW THE JOURNALIST HAD THE CHAT!
It’s a lie that was only going to last hours. How did they think ‘no we didn’t!’ was a plausible strategy!?
