	6:06pm The Butterman: Ken and Mark is a magical combo! Missed ya on Wed. Ken.
	🤖 6:07pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Bas NL @6:05 Hi Bas!

	6:08pm Fragonard: I feel very fungible tonight
	6:08pm Glistener MW: Lt Schultz is the luckiest of us all
	6:09pm Fragonard: “Select” Twits
	6:09pm Dean: Please invite Matt Taibbi to the show!
	🤖 6:09pm Bas NL: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @6:07 Hi Wendy! Have a great 2023!
	6:09pm queems: elon musk is whatever you find under the scum of the earth
	6:09pm Fragonard: Oh don’t get me started on Taibi…sell-out
	6:10pm Androu B.: HNY, Mark, SM Ken, & Tech Talkers! Let's all hope for a Twitter Takedown in 2023!
	🤖 6:10pm Wendy del Formaggio: UGHHHH, as a former journo, I would be appalled if that offer were made to me. It goes against what reporting is supposed to stand for. YUCK.
	6:10pm HyperDose: That was a crazy week
	6:10pm Mark Hurst: Hi all, thanks for joining!
	6:10pm dale: matt taibi was on wnbc4 back in the 80s, no?
	6:11pm Dean: Imagine that, a journalist aiming for independence. Taibbi was around long before Rolling Stone.
	6:11pm Ciggy: I've followed Matt Taibi since the AIG fiasco via Rolling Stone but he's hard to swallow these days
	🤖 6:11pm Wendy del Formaggio: How can one ever do impartial reporting on the institution where your article appears? NO! BAD BARI WEISS! BAD MATT TAIBBI!
	🤖 6:12pm Bas NL: The ones that applauded longest got extra search privileges?
	6:12pm Fragonard: I smell a hit movie starring Tom’s Hankie
	6:12pm dale: i miss maureen o'boyle from a current affair.
	6:13pm Dean: Wendy: "How can one ever do impartial reporting?" Period. (Or, rather, question mark.)
	6:13pm Picante Mint: Bari and Taibbi are both total jokes.
	6:14pm efd: ↳ dale @6:10 That was his father Mike.
	🤖 6:14pm PaulRobeson1923: Technology is Musk & his friends #1 deity Did Musk allow these journalist types to undermine the #1?
	6:14pm Dean: Thanks, Picante. I didn't realize they were total jokes.
	6:14pm Picante Mint: Love the show btw! :)
	6:14pm Fragonard: @Picante absolutely no more credibility , fo sho
	6:14pm Roberto: ↳ Picante Mint @6:13 Yes, I think they're being given too much credit here.
	6:15pm Dean: Allow me to comment on the lead image for this show: Hilton's syllogisms are telling. "I know nothing about X, so when putative X expert speaks about X, I take seriously what putative X expert says." Lots of folks respond this way, but obviously it's fallacy, and I don't think pointing out the fallacy is Hilton's point. He concludes in reliance on his own expertise. But surely Musk isn't the only CEO who says "the stupidest shit" about the object of the CEO's respective industry? CEOs aren't expected to know much or anything about the substance of the product their business produces. The guy who runs Coca Cola has a degree in electrical engineering. I get the point of the mastodon post, but frankly I think these kinds of attempted take-downs are silly and unproductive.
	6:15pm Roberto: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @6:11 What the cheesy gal said
	🤖 6:15pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Dean @6:13 Fair enough, but this doesn't even give the appearance of impartiality. You can't fairly write about that who gives you a paycheck or "exposure."
	6:16pm Fragonard: Total(itarian)ny
	6:16pm The Butterman: This message board is the closest thing to social media that I do.
	🤖 6:17pm Wendy del Formaggio: That said, I'm glad the info got out about Twitter's collusion with the FBI et al. That shit is fucked up. And, I hate to sound cynical, but I'm not surprised.
	6:17pm Ike: IMHO Taibbi is simply too obsessively contrarian, like Irwin. He’s not as interested in having an opinion as he is in driving outrage. And this social media era has helped him a lot — now outrage drives clicks, so his approach now works.
	6:17pm ?: Saying Bari Weiss is a leftist who has heterodox opinions is wrong. No one is saying she is a nazi. But she is super right wing and an islamophobe.
	🤖 6:17pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ The Butterman @6:16 SAME! Also, hi, Butterman! :-)
	6:17pm Fragonard: Don’t uncover his “laptop” please
	6:17pm Dean: Thanks, Ike. Your psychoanalysis is spot-on.
	6:18pm Mick: Wow. The Post is really old.
	🤖 6:18pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ @6:17 Agreed!
	6:18pm Roberto: ↳ Ike @6:17 But Irwin is awesome and that other guy is not.
	6:18pm hunter's repair guy: The feds said the Hunter story was a Russian hack and disinfo campaign
	6:18pm Ciggy: Park Row / Newspaper Row / J&R Music World / Bondy's. What's Goin On!
	6:18pm Roberto: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @6:18 Agreed agreed
	6:18pm The Butterman: Hi Wendy!
	6:19pm Dean: How many WFMU listeners even get their "news" through Twitter? I'd imagine almost none. So why is this important?
	🤖 6:19pm PaulRobeson1923: Well, the government can …Make behavior more predictable and controllable- by establishing paths of least resistance: remember The Prohibition of the drug Alcohol? “The juridicial discourse brings to life that which it pronounces”
	6:19pm GC in Baltimore: From NYTimes Pitchbot on Twitter: “Today, while my four-year-old was reading the Twitter Files, he turned to me gravely and asked “daddy, why did the shitlibs shadow ban Alex Berenson?” When I told him “because the illiberal left hates free discourse,” he started crying.”
	6:20pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @6:18 Assuming you're talking about WFMU's Irwin.
	6:20pm The Butterman: F.U.B.A.R. Is a good acronym for this social media and techbro shtuff.
	6:20pm Picante Mint: Weird how I didn't see a single bit of the Twitter files focus on leftist and pro Palestine accounts being censored and silenced.... I'm all for more of how Twitter operates being exposed but when Bari Weiss and Taibbi are you're 'news breakers'... Lol come on now
	6:20pm Minky: The NY Post? It ain't the NY Times. It's kinda trashy no?
	6:20pm Fragonard: If only Kubrick were alive…
	6:20pm HyperDose: ↳ The Butterman @6:20 Paint me like one of your tech bros 😍
	6:20pm DannyBX: Total misreading of the “Twitter files”. Also the NYPost is owned by the Murdochs and they were prevented from posting hunter bidens cock. That’s what got them suspended
	🤖 6:20pm Folsom: Yeah NY Post is nothing like the NY Times
	6:21pm Roberto: ↳ Fragonard @6:20 And George Carlin.
	🤖 6:21pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Picante Mint @6:20 WORD
	6:21pm Ike: ↳ Dean @6:17 And if I recall correctly, he wrote a lot for the NY Press in the 90s. People who were big in the 90s are often much more obsessed with transgression as comedy and/or freedom than younger people are. It’s a middle-aged obsession for people who haven’t moved on from punch-down outrage comedy etc.
	6:21pm P.Welles: and Neil Postman
	6:21pm Fragonard: I was just about to mention my other favorite genius Carlin
	6:22pm Dean: Yep. Our security state is monstrous. The FBI and the CIA are horrifying, but worse, they're stupid.
	6:22pm Fragonard: Lenny Bruce material
	6:22pm DannyBX: Bari Weiss is not nor has ever been journalist.
	🤖 6:22pm PaulRobeson1923: Elvis is a STRONG name
	6:22pm ?: How about that Katie Halper. She has a podcast with Matt Taibi. She got fired from the Hill for criticizing Israeli apartheid.
	6:23pm dale: fbi has huge files on wally cox and don knotts. not really.
	6:23pm Fragonard: Hmmmm
	6:23pm Ike: ↳ Roberto @6:18 I should have probably explained that further or left it out. If you haven’t met Irwin in person and talked to him about politics (it doesn’t come up that often on hi show), it’s not as clear.
	6:23pm Fragonard: Not Knotts!!
	6:23pm Dean: Again, Ike, your perceptions of the obsessions of people, what drives them to skew their messages, are exactly right.
	6:23pm Don Snegda: trump made twitter a big tech government goliath by using incessantly during his presidency. twitter has always been trash. whats fascinating is we believe twitter matters at all. because weve been subjected to a government of children shitting their pants at the lunch table.
	6:24pm The Butterman: ↳ HyperDose @6:20 Awesome, Hyper! I’m cracking up at that. You know , lol as they say but that finds fucking stupid for me to say. Lol! C’mon! ( I do sometimes write lol but I’m a self loathing lolist.
	6:24pm Dean: "trump made twitter": I can't stop laughing.
	6:24pm Roberto: ↳ Ike @6:23 He's discussed his politics on his program in the past. I prefer to focus on his perfect musical taste.
	🤖 6:25pm PaulRobeson1923: Tell us yer deepest secret fear
	6:26pm Don Snegda: people have forgotten, free speech means youre allowed to say whatever you want. Free speech does not mean equal audience
	6:26pm Fragonard: …much like body cams…
	6:26pm Dean: FFS. The "Twitter Files" don't at this point demonstrate ANYTHING clearly. Please stop being so stupid and reflexive.
	🤖 6:26pm Folsom: ↳ Roberto @6:24 Irwin has/had a golf count on Obama when he was in office, that was way out there.
	6:26pm dale: ↳ efd @6:14 efd - oh yes!
	6:26pm Dano59: All i see is people latching onto the smallest revelation as a politically motivated smoking gun. It's just tech giant business as usual, in more detail than most of the conspiracy theorists bothered to read, let alone synthesize and understand.
	6:27pm Ike: I love Ken but unfortunately Ken also often sees transgression as the peak of comedy and the main hinge of free speech as well, and I believe that sometimes blinds him a bit…
	6:27pm Jackie G: What is this obsession with twitter? Why this concern with this garbage? It's all bullshit, isn't it? Wasn't there an issue with free speech? (oh, why did I know this)?
	6:27pm Roberto: ↳ Folsom @6:26 PERFECT MUSICAL TASTE
	6:27pm queems: oh no now the fbi is going to see my perfectly scrapbooked illegal behaviors
	6:28pm Jackie G: Is the whole hour going to be about twitter?
	6:28pm DannyBX: This is bringing me back to freshman year when after a few bong hits we would talk about how the dollar bill is green because George Washington was a lot smoker.
	🤖 6:29pm PaulRobeson1923: Knock, Knock
	🤖 6:29pm Bas NL: Sounds a bit like rat-effing.
	6:29pm Dean: Very bad analogy, Ken. You are a moderator, but nothing like Twitter. You're kidding, right?
	6:29pm Kevlicki: I’m here!
	6:29pm Dano59: the other thing I'm seeing is the 'reach' of many posts being quashed.
	6:29pm Don Snegda: ↳ Dean @6:24 When a sitting president says theyre modern presidential for using it as a platform for official presidential statements, it balloons somebody else's private idea into something it was never meant to be. thats why we think the twitter files is anything that matters
	6:30pm Dean: Yes, we have seen what happens with moderation. It's called the United States of America.
	🤖 6:30pm PaulRobeson1923: ↳ PaulRobeson1923 @6:29 Who’s there?
	6:30pm Jackie G: Was hoping to hear some insight into Bugs Bunny.
	🤖 6:30pm Folsom: Doesn't Ken run the station with an iron hand? In the documentary when there was a meeting Ken made it clear that the meeting was only recommendations and he would have the final say.
	6:31pm HyperDose: "If YoU DoN'T hAvE aNyThInG tO HiDe, YoU sHoUlDn'T cArE aBoUt PrIvAcY" 🤡
	6:31pm dk50b: ↳ Minky @6:20 The Post has been owned by Rupert Murdoch since 1976. He morphed what was a respected middle to left tabloid has into a flame throwing rag worse than Fox News in disregard for accuracy and inflammatory racism.
	🤖 6:31pm Wendy del Formaggio: Withholding information, or refusing clarity, is a power tactic used by autocrats of any stripe or size.
	6:31pm Dean: I have no idea what you mean, Don Snegda.
	🤖 6:31pm PaulRobeson1923: ↳ PaulRobeson1923 @6:30 George Washington
	🤖 6:31pm PaulRobeson1923: Washington who?
	6:32pm Fragonard: Fascism
	6:32pm Picante Mint: Who?
	6:32pm Don Snegda: ↳ Dean @6:31 then keep laughing
	6:33pm The Butterman: People will always draw dicks in public art forums. Twitter is probably like that too. Dick drawings with 180 characters or whatever.
	6:33pm Jackie G: There was two really good Bugs Bunny cartoons on MeTV the other day. Yosemite Sam was in one.
	6:33pm Kevlicki: I did some art handling with a fella that had to sign an NDA for hanging paintings on a multimillion dollar yacht belonging to someone who’s name rhymes with “horsey” Cos of course, one invests their gobs of earnings on paintings to hang on their floating penthouse…
	6:34pm P.Welles: wonder what Tom from Myspace would make of this!
	🤖 6:34pm PaulRobeson1923: ↳ Picante Mint @6:32 We’re going to Wash A Ton of sheets! After the gang bang and always will! Because🎶 A gang bang gives me such a thrill! When I was younger & in my prime, we used to gangbang all the time! But now i’m older and turning gray! We only gang bang once a Dayy A A! Knock. Knock.
	6:34pm Jackie G: ↳ The Butterman @6:33 Remember when Daffy Duck was drawing mustaches on everything?
	6:35pm ?: was anyone else kind of deflated to see that promo for WFMU on Alexa
	6:35pm Dean: I give Musk the benefit of the doubt. Not naive. Not stuipid. Angling to make a shit-ton of money. That's "the kinda guy he is." Why are y'all engaging your principles?
	🤖 6:35pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ @6:35 Yes. Quite a bit, in fact.
	6:36pm Fragonard: Musk is a bit of a snowflake
	6:36pm Roberto: In other news, my cat is still an asshole.
	6:36pm Jackie G: Yeah, and why is Musk's face always so waxy looking?
	6:36pm yippie: Twitter is very anti free speech just like the whole country. they let people advertise big pharma pills but they don't let people advertise marijuana
	6:37pm Fragonard: Gonna be a helluva year!
	🤖 6:38pm Mxter Baba: ooh! ooh! a quiz!!! hi!
	🤖 6:38pm Wendy del Formaggio: Mr. Burns! Yay!
	🤖 6:38pm herb.nyc: Wow. Ken really knows his Twit shit. Thx for delving into it and telling us.
	🤖 6:38pm Mxter Baba: this is gonna be good!
	6:38pm Androu B.: Oh, I like these game Mark thinks up!
	🤖 6:38pm Ken From Hyde Park: Excellent!
	6:39pm Fragonard: Muskgomery Burns
	🤖 6:39pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Jackie G @6:36 Same as that Facebook guy's. They must tan at the same salon.
	🤖 6:39pm Webhamster Henry: Supervillains all read the same scripts.
	🤖 6:39pm Bas NL: The Twitter twat.
	6:39pm Fragonard: Musk
	🤖 6:40pm Handy Haversack: Mark! Ken! Techyon Particles! Been here for a bit but was unable to comment. Happy New Year! Bring on the nerve stapling!
	🤖 6:40pm Wendy del Formaggio: Ooh, I love the trick questions!
	6:41pm Fragonard: How can this year get any better than this?
	6:41pm dale: where's kitt from knight rider when you need him?
	🤖 6:41pm Mxter Baba: this is HILARIOUS! and frightening.
	🤖 6:41pm PaulRobeson1923: U cannot question the #1! Mr.Manican man!
	🤖 6:41pm Handy Haversack: I used the "destroy the sun" line just today.
	6:41pm Roberto: ↳ dale @6:41 Funny you should ask.
	6:42pm Androu B.: ¡Hola, Handy!¡Feliz Año Nuevo, amigo!
	🤖 6:42pm Webhamster Henry: Tesla - mannequin story: www.cnbc.com...
	6:43pm wind: So much fun!
	6:44pm yippie: it's rabbit year
	🤖 6:44pm herb.nyc: Prague is a new prog mag?
	🤖 6:44pm Folsom: Is this the magazine? www.loudersound.com...
	6:45pm Dean: I'd be interested in hearing from this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jedszlUund8 https://magicseth.com/
	🤖 6:45pm Handy Haversack: ¡Hola, Andres! Gracias, y feliz Año Nuevo a ti!
	🤖 6:45pm Webhamster Henry: Yer relevant link: www.realclearpolitics.com...
	6:45pm P.Welles: Spoiler alert. will get worse...
	6:45pm dan in wisconsin: I've never used Twitter. 280 character limit? Heck, there's less limitation within the confines of this Accu-Playlist medium. Granted, it's not going to reach as many people, by any means, but at least there's enough space, provided you don't bore your readers to tears, to get a coherent, well thought out, cohesive idea across. And, Facebook is another form of panopticism, just with added degrees of echo chamber elements.
	6:46pm Androu B.: 🎶The wabbits awe comin', huwway huwway!🎶
	🤖 6:46pm Ken From Hyde Park: What are the chances that Musk will buy Reddit in 2023?
	6:46pm Erin in TO: Words I never expected to hear from Mark
	6:46pm coelacanth∅))): P Welles please, i'd like to stay in my fantasy with my head buried under sand
	6:47pm skrapshak: ↳ dan in wisconsin @6:45 It was only a 140 character limit for quite a long time.
	6:47pm Roberto: ↳ Erin in TO @6:46 Sign of the impending apocalypse?
	🤖 6:47pm Wendy del Formaggio: I am excited to hear Mark's optimism. And I agree! Things are getting better. The shift may be slow, but it's there.
	6:47pm Andres: Is there a Techtonic nuclear doomsday clock that we can turn back?
	🤖 6:47pm Webhamster Henry: Auricle can buy the remains of Twitter at bargain basement prices and replace it with Accu-playlist chat software.
	🤖 6:48pm PaulRobeson1923: ↳ Webhamster Henry @6:42 Thanks Webhamster Henry! Their #1 is technology- and any other deity must by extension take a back seat and let the kids get run over
	6:48pm Dean: I am so sick of people remarking on how paradigms have shifted. You are 95% wrong, Mark. Yes, there will be positive changes, but capitalism will prevail.
	6:48pm TDK60: I'm on the left and /never/ liked that Musk guy.
	6:49pm Dean: Oh my gosh I have to change my mind because Musk was boo'd at the Chappelle show.
	6:49pm wind: Omg 10 minutes!?!
	6:49pm HyperDose: Elon dating Amber Heard pretty much defines his judgement skills.
	🤖 6:50pm Wendy del Formaggio: Maybe Mark can change the name of the show to The Schadenfreude Hour. Even just temporarily.
	6:50pm skrapshak: ↳ HyperDose @6:49 Amber Turd :)
	6:50pm dan in wisconsin: ↳ skrapshak @6:47 Exactly. So, it's like wow, couldn't most people see where this was heading? It's almost as if the dumbing down of digital discourse is the intended goal?
	6:50pm Dean: When is Henry Ford, when is Steve Jobs going to get HIS comeuppance? These guys are monsters.
	6:50pm Devin B.: The Gov't is completely dependent on AWS.
	6:51pm Androu B.: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @6:50 Why not make that the new name for Dinner At Andy's?
	6:51pm wenzo: Does eBay do that too?
	🤖 6:52pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Androu B. @6:51 Hmm... that could also work.
	6:52pm Dean: "Few bipartisan issues"? Check again, Ken. There are plenty bipartisan issues. Jesus, we are fucked.
	6:52pm The Butterman: I think he had electrolysis on his face so he won’t have facial hair.
	6:52pm skrapshak: ↳ dan in wisconsin @6:50 Agreed. Both the platform and society have "evolved" in the last 10-12 years.
	6:52pm P.Welles: My Dinner with Ken.
	6:52pm dale: i'd like to live in isolation. but with a radio. and grocery delivery.
	6:53pm yippie: google definitely self preferences when you search for music because it puts youtube at the top a lot. there should be antitrust against that
	🤖 6:54pm Handy Haversack: Getting off Google was my main accomplishment of 2022, and I'm just so glad about it and resent the years I spent NOT doing it!
	6:54pm Lisa H: I'd like to hear Mark talk a out Tuvalu in the Metaverse now. It's theoretically fascinating (and realistically sad)
	6:54pm Dean: Here's what I use: piece of paper
	6:55pm queems: doesn’t nobody have legs in the metaverse
	6:55pm Lisa H: *about
	6:55pm Jackie G: Google, twitter, facebook, instagram, tiktok,wfmu....what a world. what a world.
	6:55pm Picante Mint: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @6:46 That would be much more his crowd. I don't think he understands social platforms, he is an awful poster and doesn't get what makes it work.
	6:55pm dan in wisconsin: I can envision this Accu-Playlist being applied to Netflix or sports or other group-viewing arenas and forums. I think Ken touched upon this in his Auricle presentation in the past. It's true thought.
	🤖 6:55pm Handy Haversack: Sometimes I feel like the only person who hated Snow Crash. True, queems. Because legs are what sex happens near, and that's not Metaverse material.
	🤖 6:56pm PaulRobeson1923: Trying to Co-opt the other side- metaphysical- by taking the name Meta they r saying “there shall be no other Deity but meta…”
	6:56pm Roberto: I've never understood the concept of an inflated ego, I guess because I don't have one. If I made a shite-ton of money, I'd sell the biz and never leave the house. Except maybe to play golf.
	6:56pm TDK60: Thanks, Mark, Ken.
	🤖 6:56pm Wendy del Formaggio: Thanks Mark and Ken!
	6:56pm coelacanth∅))): -and you can take your play money with you
	6:56pm The Butterman: They already eat their own poop and urine.
	6:56pm HyperDose: Thank you gentlemen
	🤖 6:57pm Will thee Sound Guy: blastoff tech bits!!!
	🤖 6:57pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Mark, Ken! Happy doom year, all! It does not matter which of us you vote for. Either way, your planet is doomed. DOOMED! --Musk or Burns?
	6:57pm The Butterman: Probably
	6:57pm wind: The greatest indeed 🙂
	🤖 6:57pm PaulRobeson1923: ↳ The Butterman @6:56 Gross!
	🤖 6:57pm Bas NL: Thanks Mark & Ken!
	🤖 6:57pm Will thee Sound Guy: Thank you Mark and Ken!!!
	6:57pm Androu B.: Thanks Mark & Ken! Great first show of the new year!
	6:57pm coelacanth∅))): crap Mark,really? i but i just bought TWO apples ...(fuji)
	6:57pm Roberto: ↳ Handy Haversack @6:57 Kang/Kodos
	6:58pm P-90: Thanks Mark!
	6:58pm Glistener MW: “I BRING you LOVVVVVE” - the best Burns.
	6:58pm coelacanth∅))): pretty vacant intro
	🤖 6:58pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Roberto @6:57 THROW YOUR VOTE AWAY!
	6:58pm P-90: ok, and Ken!
	🤖 6:59pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, internet dudes!
	6:59pm Dean: I am troubled by this particular show. I don't mind advocacy, but I sense little interest in the actual ramifications of technology. We need information about the technology, not opinions.
	🤖 6:59pm Webhamster Henry: Keep failing better in 2023 folks!
	6:59pm coelacanth∅))): Thanks Mark! Thanks Ken!
	7:00pm coelacanth∅))): LONG LIVE APPLES! (preferably fuji, and preferably organic)
	7:00pm Destroit: Thanks guys!

	🤖 6:09pm Bas NL: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @6:07 Hi Wendy! Have a great 2023!
	6:09pm queems: elon musk is whatever you find under the scum of the earth
	6:09pm Fragonard: Oh don’t get me started on Taibi…sell-out
	6:10pm Androu B.: HNY, Mark, SM Ken, & Tech Talkers! Let's all hope for a Twitter Takedown in 2023!
	🤖 6:10pm Wendy del Formaggio: UGHHHH, as a former journo, I would be appalled if that offer were made to me. It goes against what reporting is supposed to stand for. YUCK.
	6:10pm HyperDose: That was a crazy week
	6:10pm Mark Hurst: Hi all, thanks for joining!
	6:10pm dale: matt taibi was on wnbc4 back in the 80s, no?
	6:11pm Dean: Imagine that, a journalist aiming for independence. Taibbi was around long before Rolling Stone.
	6:11pm Ciggy: I've followed Matt Taibi since the AIG fiasco via Rolling Stone but he's hard to swallow these days
	🤖 6:11pm Wendy del Formaggio: How can one ever do impartial reporting on the institution where your article appears? NO! BAD BARI WEISS! BAD MATT TAIBBI!
	🤖 6:12pm Bas NL: The ones that applauded longest got extra search privileges?
	6:12pm Fragonard: I smell a hit movie starring Tom’s Hankie
	6:12pm dale: i miss maureen o'boyle from a current affair.
	6:13pm Dean: Wendy: "How can one ever do impartial reporting?" Period. (Or, rather, question mark.)
	6:13pm Picante Mint: Bari and Taibbi are both total jokes.
	6:14pm efd: ↳ dale @6:10 That was his father Mike.
	🤖 6:14pm PaulRobeson1923: Technology is Musk & his friends #1 deity Did Musk allow these journalist types to undermine the #1?
	6:14pm Dean: Thanks, Picante. I didn't realize they were total jokes.
	6:14pm Picante Mint: Love the show btw! :)
	6:14pm Fragonard: @Picante absolutely no more credibility , fo sho
	6:14pm Roberto: ↳ Picante Mint @6:13 Yes, I think they're being given too much credit here.
	6:15pm Dean: Allow me to comment on the lead image for this show: Hilton's syllogisms are telling. "I know nothing about X, so when putative X expert speaks about X, I take seriously what putative X expert says." Lots of folks respond this way, but obviously it's fallacy, and I don't think pointing out the fallacy is Hilton's point. He concludes in reliance on his own expertise. But surely Musk isn't the only CEO who says "the stupidest shit" about the object of the CEO's respective industry? CEOs aren't expected to know much or anything about the substance of the product their business produces. The guy who runs Coca Cola has a degree in electrical engineering. I get the point of the mastodon post, but frankly I think these kinds of attempted take-downs are silly and unproductive.
	6:15pm Roberto: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @6:11 What the cheesy gal said
	🤖 6:15pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Dean @6:13 Fair enough, but this doesn't even give the appearance of impartiality. You can't fairly write about that who gives you a paycheck or "exposure."
	6:16pm Fragonard: Total(itarian)ny
	6:16pm The Butterman: This message board is the closest thing to social media that I do.
	🤖 6:17pm Wendy del Formaggio: That said, I'm glad the info got out about Twitter's collusion with the FBI et al. That shit is fucked up. And, I hate to sound cynical, but I'm not surprised.
	6:17pm Ike: IMHO Taibbi is simply too obsessively contrarian, like Irwin. He’s not as interested in having an opinion as he is in driving outrage. And this social media era has helped him a lot — now outrage drives clicks, so his approach now works.
	6:17pm ?: Saying Bari Weiss is a leftist who has heterodox opinions is wrong. No one is saying she is a nazi. But she is super right wing and an islamophobe.
	🤖 6:17pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ The Butterman @6:16 SAME! Also, hi, Butterman! :-)
	6:17pm Fragonard: Don’t uncover his “laptop” please
	6:17pm Dean: Thanks, Ike. Your psychoanalysis is spot-on.
	6:18pm Mick: Wow. The Post is really old.
	🤖 6:18pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ @6:17 Agreed!
	6:18pm Roberto: ↳ Ike @6:17 But Irwin is awesome and that other guy is not.
	6:18pm hunter's repair guy: The feds said the Hunter story was a Russian hack and disinfo campaign
	6:18pm Ciggy: Park Row / Newspaper Row / J&R Music World / Bondy's. What's Goin On!
	6:18pm Roberto: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @6:18 Agreed agreed
	6:18pm The Butterman: Hi Wendy!
	6:19pm Dean: How many WFMU listeners even get their "news" through Twitter? I'd imagine almost none. So why is this important?
	🤖 6:19pm PaulRobeson1923: Well, the government can …Make behavior more predictable and controllable- by establishing paths of least resistance: remember The Prohibition of the drug Alcohol? “The juridicial discourse brings to life that which it pronounces”
	6:19pm GC in Baltimore: From NYTimes Pitchbot on Twitter: “Today, while my four-year-old was reading the Twitter Files, he turned to me gravely and asked “daddy, why did the shitlibs shadow ban Alex Berenson?” When I told him “because the illiberal left hates free discourse,” he started crying.”
	6:20pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @6:18 Assuming you're talking about WFMU's Irwin.
	6:20pm The Butterman: F.U.B.A.R. Is a good acronym for this social media and techbro shtuff.
	6:20pm Picante Mint: Weird how I didn't see a single bit of the Twitter files focus on leftist and pro Palestine accounts being censored and silenced.... I'm all for more of how Twitter operates being exposed but when Bari Weiss and Taibbi are you're 'news breakers'... Lol come on now
	6:20pm Minky: The NY Post? It ain't the NY Times. It's kinda trashy no?
	6:20pm Fragonard: If only Kubrick were alive…
	6:20pm HyperDose: ↳ The Butterman @6:20 Paint me like one of your tech bros 😍
	6:20pm DannyBX: Total misreading of the “Twitter files”. Also the NYPost is owned by the Murdochs and they were prevented from posting hunter bidens cock. That’s what got them suspended
	🤖 6:20pm Folsom: Yeah NY Post is nothing like the NY Times
	6:21pm Roberto: ↳ Fragonard @6:20 And George Carlin.
	🤖 6:21pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Picante Mint @6:20 WORD
	6:21pm Ike: ↳ Dean @6:17 And if I recall correctly, he wrote a lot for the NY Press in the 90s. People who were big in the 90s are often much more obsessed with transgression as comedy and/or freedom than younger people are. It’s a middle-aged obsession for people who haven’t moved on from punch-down outrage comedy etc.
	6:21pm P.Welles: and Neil Postman
	6:21pm Fragonard: I was just about to mention my other favorite genius Carlin
	6:22pm Dean: Yep. Our security state is monstrous. The FBI and the CIA are horrifying, but worse, they're stupid.
	6:22pm Fragonard: Lenny Bruce material
	6:22pm DannyBX: Bari Weiss is not nor has ever been journalist.
	🤖 6:22pm PaulRobeson1923: Elvis is a STRONG name
	6:22pm ?: How about that Katie Halper. She has a podcast with Matt Taibi. She got fired from the Hill for criticizing Israeli apartheid.
	6:23pm dale: fbi has huge files on wally cox and don knotts. not really.
	6:23pm Fragonard: Hmmmm
	6:23pm Ike: ↳ Roberto @6:18 I should have probably explained that further or left it out. If you haven’t met Irwin in person and talked to him about politics (it doesn’t come up that often on hi show), it’s not as clear.
	6:23pm Fragonard: Not Knotts!!
	6:23pm Dean: Again, Ike, your perceptions of the obsessions of people, what drives them to skew their messages, are exactly right.
	6:23pm Don Snegda: trump made twitter a big tech government goliath by using incessantly during his presidency. twitter has always been trash. whats fascinating is we believe twitter matters at all. because weve been subjected to a government of children shitting their pants at the lunch table.
	6:24pm The Butterman: ↳ HyperDose @6:20 Awesome, Hyper! I’m cracking up at that. You know , lol as they say but that finds fucking stupid for me to say. Lol! C’mon! ( I do sometimes write lol but I’m a self loathing lolist.
	6:24pm Dean: "trump made twitter": I can't stop laughing.
	6:24pm Roberto: ↳ Ike @6:23 He's discussed his politics on his program in the past. I prefer to focus on his perfect musical taste.
	🤖 6:25pm PaulRobeson1923: Tell us yer deepest secret fear
	6:26pm Don Snegda: people have forgotten, free speech means youre allowed to say whatever you want. Free speech does not mean equal audience
	6:26pm Fragonard: …much like body cams…
	6:26pm Dean: FFS. The "Twitter Files" don't at this point demonstrate ANYTHING clearly. Please stop being so stupid and reflexive.
	🤖 6:26pm Folsom: ↳ Roberto @6:24 Irwin has/had a golf count on Obama when he was in office, that was way out there.
	6:26pm dale: ↳ efd @6:14 efd - oh yes!
	6:26pm Dano59: All i see is people latching onto the smallest revelation as a politically motivated smoking gun. It's just tech giant business as usual, in more detail than most of the conspiracy theorists bothered to read, let alone synthesize and understand.
	6:27pm Ike: I love Ken but unfortunately Ken also often sees transgression as the peak of comedy and the main hinge of free speech as well, and I believe that sometimes blinds him a bit…
	6:27pm Jackie G: What is this obsession with twitter? Why this concern with this garbage? It's all bullshit, isn't it? Wasn't there an issue with free speech? (oh, why did I know this)?
	6:27pm Roberto: ↳ Folsom @6:26 PERFECT MUSICAL TASTE
	6:27pm queems: oh no now the fbi is going to see my perfectly scrapbooked illegal behaviors
	6:28pm Jackie G: Is the whole hour going to be about twitter?
	6:28pm DannyBX: This is bringing me back to freshman year when after a few bong hits we would talk about how the dollar bill is green because George Washington was a lot smoker.
	🤖 6:29pm PaulRobeson1923: Knock, Knock
	🤖 6:29pm Bas NL: Sounds a bit like rat-effing.
	6:29pm Dean: Very bad analogy, Ken. You are a moderator, but nothing like Twitter. You're kidding, right?
	6:29pm Kevlicki: I’m here!
	6:29pm Dano59: the other thing I'm seeing is the 'reach' of many posts being quashed.
	6:29pm Don Snegda: ↳ Dean @6:24 When a sitting president says theyre modern presidential for using it as a platform for official presidential statements, it balloons somebody else's private idea into something it was never meant to be. thats why we think the twitter files is anything that matters
	6:30pm Dean: Yes, we have seen what happens with moderation. It's called the United States of America.
	🤖 6:30pm PaulRobeson1923: ↳ PaulRobeson1923 @6:29 Who’s there?
	6:30pm Jackie G: Was hoping to hear some insight into Bugs Bunny.
	🤖 6:30pm Folsom: Doesn't Ken run the station with an iron hand? In the documentary when there was a meeting Ken made it clear that the meeting was only recommendations and he would have the final say.
	6:31pm HyperDose: "If YoU DoN'T hAvE aNyThInG tO HiDe, YoU sHoUlDn'T cArE aBoUt PrIvAcY" 🤡
	6:31pm dk50b: ↳ Minky @6:20 The Post has been owned by Rupert Murdoch since 1976. He morphed what was a respected middle to left tabloid has into a flame throwing rag worse than Fox News in disregard for accuracy and inflammatory racism.
	🤖 6:31pm Wendy del Formaggio: Withholding information, or refusing clarity, is a power tactic used by autocrats of any stripe or size.
	6:31pm Dean: I have no idea what you mean, Don Snegda.
	🤖 6:31pm PaulRobeson1923: ↳ PaulRobeson1923 @6:30 George Washington
	🤖 6:31pm PaulRobeson1923: Washington who?
	6:32pm Fragonard: Fascism
	6:32pm Picante Mint: Who?
	6:32pm Don Snegda: ↳ Dean @6:31 then keep laughing
	6:33pm The Butterman: People will always draw dicks in public art forums. Twitter is probably like that too. Dick drawings with 180 characters or whatever.
	6:33pm Jackie G: There was two really good Bugs Bunny cartoons on MeTV the other day. Yosemite Sam was in one.
	6:33pm Kevlicki: I did some art handling with a fella that had to sign an NDA for hanging paintings on a multimillion dollar yacht belonging to someone who’s name rhymes with “horsey” Cos of course, one invests their gobs of earnings on paintings to hang on their floating penthouse…
	6:34pm P.Welles: wonder what Tom from Myspace would make of this!
	🤖 6:34pm PaulRobeson1923: ↳ Picante Mint @6:32 We’re going to Wash A Ton of sheets! After the gang bang and always will! Because🎶 A gang bang gives me such a thrill! When I was younger & in my prime, we used to gangbang all the time! But now i’m older and turning gray! We only gang bang once a Dayy A A! Knock. Knock.
	6:34pm Jackie G: ↳ The Butterman @6:33 Remember when Daffy Duck was drawing mustaches on everything?
	6:35pm ?: was anyone else kind of deflated to see that promo for WFMU on Alexa
	6:35pm Dean: I give Musk the benefit of the doubt. Not naive. Not stuipid. Angling to make a shit-ton of money. That's "the kinda guy he is." Why are y'all engaging your principles?
	🤖 6:35pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ @6:35 Yes. Quite a bit, in fact.
	6:36pm Fragonard: Musk is a bit of a snowflake
	6:36pm Roberto: In other news, my cat is still an asshole.
	6:36pm Jackie G: Yeah, and why is Musk's face always so waxy looking?
	6:36pm yippie: Twitter is very anti free speech just like the whole country. they let people advertise big pharma pills but they don't let people advertise marijuana
	6:37pm Fragonard: Gonna be a helluva year!
	🤖 6:38pm Mxter Baba: ooh! ooh! a quiz!!! hi!
	🤖 6:38pm Wendy del Formaggio: Mr. Burns! Yay!
	🤖 6:38pm herb.nyc: Wow. Ken really knows his Twit shit. Thx for delving into it and telling us.
	🤖 6:38pm Mxter Baba: this is gonna be good!
	6:38pm Androu B.: Oh, I like these game Mark thinks up!
	🤖 6:38pm Ken From Hyde Park: Excellent!
	6:39pm Fragonard: Muskgomery Burns
	🤖 6:39pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Jackie G @6:36 Same as that Facebook guy's. They must tan at the same salon.
	🤖 6:39pm Webhamster Henry: Supervillains all read the same scripts.
	🤖 6:39pm Bas NL: The Twitter twat.
	6:39pm Fragonard: Musk
	🤖 6:40pm Handy Haversack: Mark! Ken! Techyon Particles! Been here for a bit but was unable to comment. Happy New Year! Bring on the nerve stapling!
	🤖 6:40pm Wendy del Formaggio: Ooh, I love the trick questions!
	6:41pm Fragonard: How can this year get any better than this?
	6:41pm dale: where's kitt from knight rider when you need him?
	🤖 6:41pm Mxter Baba: this is HILARIOUS! and frightening.
	🤖 6:41pm PaulRobeson1923: U cannot question the #1! Mr.Manican man!
	🤖 6:41pm Handy Haversack: I used the "destroy the sun" line just today.
	6:41pm Roberto: ↳ dale @6:41 Funny you should ask.
	6:42pm Androu B.: ¡Hola, Handy!¡Feliz Año Nuevo, amigo!
	🤖 6:42pm Webhamster Henry: Tesla - mannequin story: www.cnbc.com...
	6:43pm wind: So much fun!
	6:44pm yippie: it's rabbit year
	🤖 6:44pm herb.nyc: Prague is a new prog mag?
	🤖 6:44pm Folsom: Is this the magazine? www.loudersound.com...
	6:45pm Dean: I'd be interested in hearing from this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jedszlUund8 https://magicseth.com/
	🤖 6:45pm Handy Haversack: ¡Hola, Andres! Gracias, y feliz Año Nuevo a ti!
	🤖 6:45pm Webhamster Henry: Yer relevant link: www.realclearpolitics.com...
	6:45pm P.Welles: Spoiler alert. will get worse...
	6:45pm dan in wisconsin: I've never used Twitter. 280 character limit? Heck, there's less limitation within the confines of this Accu-Playlist medium. Granted, it's not going to reach as many people, by any means, but at least there's enough space, provided you don't bore your readers to tears, to get a coherent, well thought out, cohesive idea across. And, Facebook is another form of panopticism, just with added degrees of echo chamber elements.
	6:46pm Androu B.: 🎶The wabbits awe comin', huwway huwway!🎶
	🤖 6:46pm Ken From Hyde Park: What are the chances that Musk will buy Reddit in 2023?
	6:46pm Erin in TO: Words I never expected to hear from Mark
	6:46pm coelacanth∅))): P Welles please, i'd like to stay in my fantasy with my head buried under sand
	6:47pm skrapshak: ↳ dan in wisconsin @6:45 It was only a 140 character limit for quite a long time.
	6:47pm Roberto: ↳ Erin in TO @6:46 Sign of the impending apocalypse?
	🤖 6:47pm Wendy del Formaggio: I am excited to hear Mark's optimism. And I agree! Things are getting better. The shift may be slow, but it's there.
	6:47pm Andres: Is there a Techtonic nuclear doomsday clock that we can turn back?
	🤖 6:47pm Webhamster Henry: Auricle can buy the remains of Twitter at bargain basement prices and replace it with Accu-playlist chat software.
	🤖 6:48pm PaulRobeson1923: ↳ Webhamster Henry @6:42 Thanks Webhamster Henry! Their #1 is technology- and any other deity must by extension take a back seat and let the kids get run over
	6:48pm Dean: I am so sick of people remarking on how paradigms have shifted. You are 95% wrong, Mark. Yes, there will be positive changes, but capitalism will prevail.
	6:48pm TDK60: I'm on the left and /never/ liked that Musk guy.
	6:49pm Dean: Oh my gosh I have to change my mind because Musk was boo'd at the Chappelle show.
	6:49pm wind: Omg 10 minutes!?!
	6:49pm HyperDose: Elon dating Amber Heard pretty much defines his judgement skills.
	🤖 6:50pm Wendy del Formaggio: Maybe Mark can change the name of the show to The Schadenfreude Hour. Even just temporarily.
	6:50pm skrapshak: ↳ HyperDose @6:49 Amber Turd :)
	6:50pm dan in wisconsin: ↳ skrapshak @6:47 Exactly. So, it's like wow, couldn't most people see where this was heading? It's almost as if the dumbing down of digital discourse is the intended goal?
	6:50pm Dean: When is Henry Ford, when is Steve Jobs going to get HIS comeuppance? These guys are monsters.
	6:50pm Devin B.: The Gov't is completely dependent on AWS.
	6:51pm Androu B.: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @6:50 Why not make that the new name for Dinner At Andy's?
	6:51pm wenzo: Does eBay do that too?
	🤖 6:52pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Androu B. @6:51 Hmm... that could also work.
	6:52pm Dean: "Few bipartisan issues"? Check again, Ken. There are plenty bipartisan issues. Jesus, we are fucked.
	6:52pm The Butterman: I think he had electrolysis on his face so he won’t have facial hair.
	6:52pm skrapshak: ↳ dan in wisconsin @6:50 Agreed. Both the platform and society have "evolved" in the last 10-12 years.
	6:52pm P.Welles: My Dinner with Ken.
	6:52pm dale: i'd like to live in isolation. but with a radio. and grocery delivery.
	6:53pm yippie: google definitely self preferences when you search for music because it puts youtube at the top a lot. there should be antitrust against that
	🤖 6:54pm Handy Haversack: Getting off Google was my main accomplishment of 2022, and I'm just so glad about it and resent the years I spent NOT doing it!
	6:54pm Lisa H: I'd like to hear Mark talk a out Tuvalu in the Metaverse now. It's theoretically fascinating (and realistically sad)
	6:54pm Dean: Here's what I use: piece of paper
	6:55pm queems: doesn’t nobody have legs in the metaverse
	6:55pm Lisa H: *about
	6:55pm Jackie G: Google, twitter, facebook, instagram, tiktok,wfmu....what a world. what a world.
	6:55pm Picante Mint: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @6:46 That would be much more his crowd. I don't think he understands social platforms, he is an awful poster and doesn't get what makes it work.
	6:55pm dan in wisconsin: I can envision this Accu-Playlist being applied to Netflix or sports or other group-viewing arenas and forums. I think Ken touched upon this in his Auricle presentation in the past. It's true thought.
	🤖 6:55pm Handy Haversack: Sometimes I feel like the only person who hated Snow Crash. True, queems. Because legs are what sex happens near, and that's not Metaverse material.
	🤖 6:56pm PaulRobeson1923: Trying to Co-opt the other side- metaphysical- by taking the name Meta they r saying “there shall be no other Deity but meta…”
	6:56pm Roberto: I've never understood the concept of an inflated ego, I guess because I don't have one. If I made a shite-ton of money, I'd sell the biz and never leave the house. Except maybe to play golf.
	6:56pm TDK60: Thanks, Mark, Ken.
	🤖 6:56pm Wendy del Formaggio: Thanks Mark and Ken!
	6:56pm coelacanth∅))): -and you can take your play money with you
	6:56pm The Butterman: They already eat their own poop and urine.
	6:56pm HyperDose: Thank you gentlemen
	🤖 6:57pm Will thee Sound Guy: blastoff tech bits!!!
	🤖 6:57pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Mark, Ken! Happy doom year, all! It does not matter which of us you vote for. Either way, your planet is doomed. DOOMED! --Musk or Burns?
	6:57pm The Butterman: Probably
	6:57pm wind: The greatest indeed 🙂
	🤖 6:57pm PaulRobeson1923: ↳ The Butterman @6:56 Gross!
	🤖 6:57pm Bas NL: Thanks Mark & Ken!
	🤖 6:57pm Will thee Sound Guy: Thank you Mark and Ken!!!
	6:57pm Androu B.: Thanks Mark & Ken! Great first show of the new year!
	6:57pm coelacanth∅))): crap Mark,really? i but i just bought TWO apples ...(fuji)
	6:57pm Roberto: ↳ Handy Haversack @6:57 Kang/Kodos
	6:58pm P-90: Thanks Mark!
	6:58pm Glistener MW: “I BRING you LOVVVVVE” - the best Burns.
	6:58pm coelacanth∅))): pretty vacant intro
	🤖 6:58pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Roberto @6:57 THROW YOUR VOTE AWAY!
	6:58pm P-90: ok, and Ken!
	🤖 6:59pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, internet dudes!
	6:59pm Dean: I am troubled by this particular show. I don't mind advocacy, but I sense little interest in the actual ramifications of technology. We need information about the technology, not opinions.
	🤖 6:59pm Webhamster Henry: Keep failing better in 2023 folks!
	6:59pm coelacanth∅))): Thanks Mark! Thanks Ken!
	7:00pm coelacanth∅))): LONG LIVE APPLES! (preferably fuji, and preferably organic)
	7:00pm Destroit: Thanks guys!
