A call to action, full of great historical references with a beautiful and inspired design. I love it.

Good to have Garbage Day back after the holidays. The bit with Pete Hegseth with x.com on monitor behind him... cringe/awful.

Good article, short form video really is a poison. Instagram has been getting worse for a long time but reels were something I have always tried to avoided entirely, something which just gets harder. I gave up recently and just deleted Instagram. I’m sad because I deffo get FOMO from missing out on friends post/story updates but that diminishing all the time as more people give up posting.

Great roundup of the Epstein stuff from Garbage Day, it feels like it should be proper crackpot conspiracy stuff but Epstein and Banon definitely believed they’re own hype/impact. It’s all so awful, so cringe and yet has made things materially worse for everyone... not to mention all sex trafficking which is properly grim.
