Sadly I can’t seem do find it anymore, but there used to be a fake org called the anti-dolphin coalition, claiming that dolphins were in control of all world governments and could kill you with brain lasers or something, among all kinds of other lunacy. It was a good chuckle back in the day.

Can’t speak for elsewhere but most places in the US carve out an exception to minimum wage laws that allows tipped workers to be paid less on the assumption that they’ll make up the difference in tips.
Heavily modded Risk of Rain 2, because somehow it’s still a delightful gem
See, I want this everywhere so bad but I worry that without some kind of control on the price of basic needs (food/housing/healthcare/etc) a broader rollout will cause providers of those things to just raise their prices across the board and result in little or no benefit to everyone else. Housing especially, since the market is already in la la land. Am I wrong about this? Or is there an easy solution maybe?
Search Engine with PJ Vogt is an excellent periodic deep dive into random questions from the internet. It’s always interesting and it always goes somewhere I didn’t expect. 10/10 would dive into attendance filtering philosophy at an underground Berlin club again.
The podcast scene is an absolute haven for incredible journalism, from the deeply humanist short pieces from This American Life to the deeply told longform series like Serial or Scene On Radio, to the focused single-target (and often single-season) shows like Hazard NJ, Empire City, Ghost of a Chance, or Homegrown OKC (or many many others).
There is, lastly, plenty of ground-breaking audio fiction, from genre-bending scripted dramas like Give me Away or The Electric Easy to medium-aware quasi-fourth-wall-breakers like Sherlock &Co. or The Lovecraft Investigations, to the comically weird absurdism of Death By Dying or Midnight Burger. Also Impact Winter and The Bookburners, my two absolute favorites.
Basically podcasts are shit and you should just give up now.
