Thinking on starting a debate/interview series. Not quite a podcast, would be in writing, but live. Easier for anons to do.
Will add AI voices on post-editing so will end up like a podcast for those who enjoy that.
Please suggest people and topics, or propose yourself.

The planned 20-minute call dragged on for 90. A ceasefire barely came up:

Replying to @crimkadid @paul_hundred
Sometimes cultures move in the opposite direction, as in the case of Southerners or Afrikaners who, often locally outnumbered by people who hate them, become belligerent, religious, serious. The original guiding principle being: “don’t look weak in front of the n******. “

One of my favourite jokes I've read on twitter is:
