Must be Bret Stephens. Checks byline…yup it’s Bret Stephens. You can always rely on him to disingenuously argue for unjustified wars and colonialist principles. He’s been doing this for decades.

Yeah I feel you. It’s one of the few excellent apps that I’ve never felt the need to upgrade. I don’t think I need any of the extra features. I wish there were a lifetime option or something a little less expensive than their yearly. I might just subscribe for a few months to show my support for the devs, because it’s such a solid app. But their prices do seem really high.
Yeah, just search for 404 media with whatever app you use for podcasts. I don’t use Spotify or Apple and it came up straight away for me in PocketCasts.
404 Media knocking it out of the park as usual. This is one of those independent outlets which has been doing consistently awesome journalism. I especially like it when they get targeted for their work, because they are never afraid to call out the hypocrisy or bullshit, they thrive on it.
The silver lining here is that Facebook was already increasingly a waste of our time. The only reason we’re able to share our stories via our official Facebook page is that we’ve fully automated that process, because it is not actually worth our time to post our stories there organically. Since before we started 404 Media, we knew there was very little chance that Facebook would help us reach people, grow our audience, and make the case that people should support our journalism, so in a way we lost nothing because there’s nothing to lose. On the other hand, that perspective is based on us having already accepted Facebook’s rejection of our journalism years ago.
Their podcast is also very solid, worth a listen.
Ah yes, make America six-fingered again.
I’m already so tired of all this low energy ai crap. Anyone else feel like image generators should be banned from this community?
