Spend several hours over the last week shiny hunting outbreaks?
No luck.
Randomly wandering around?

this is a special episode for those of you who want to hear me critique Ben Shapiro's knowledge of Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and Rudyard Kipling

New Behind the Bastards 📖

Robert and Cody Johnston sit down to read Ben Shapiro's latest non-fiction book, which seems to be based entirely on him not understanding how lions work.

“For my full-time job, I make 40 cents an hour, the highest pay available in the Michigan prison system. That pay only goes so far. To eat healthy on my days off, and to avoid asking my loved ones for money, I’ve had to adopt side-hustle skills to support myself.”

The Best Prison Job Is Teaching Residents How to Cook

The Most Coveted Job in the Michigan Prison System

As a chef tutor in prison, I teach people how to handle food safely, and how to cook and bake. It has lots of perks, but the pay is still abysmal.

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.

This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

On the other side was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for his help.
"I wasn't planning on letting her stay, but I didn't know what the hell was going on," the man said of his Venezuelan migrant neighbors. But he quickly relented. The little girl was inconsolable and hid under his bed.
"I didn't want them to take her," said the man, who didn't want to be named because he fears he'll be targeted by federal authorities for his actions.
"I gave her my bedroom, and I just told her,
'Just stay there. Don't open, don't, shh, just stay quiet," he recalled telling the mom and daughter as he choked back tears.

I'm catching up on a podcast about podcast news and I'm so happy to know how popular bl and gl is in Thailand and other places in Asia that it got mentioned multiple times

Jackie aka Jax @jaxyacks.bsky.social · 15h

Like there's multiple times talking about how it's weird that she only wanted to hang out with boys and how she doesn't want to have to do girl stuff, right? It's not just about being forced into an arranged marriage

If you want to make a podcast, make one! Try out whatever hobby you want to try out, even if you don't think you'd be good at it!
I came into podcasting without ever editing audio myself, and while I have an editor now, my old episodes still sound good!

If you want to record with other people, there's a free Discord bot called Craig that records audio in server calls and gives you separate tracks in a variety of formats!
