025: Apple Design, MAGA Schadenfreude, Democratic Socialism

Shawn is bound for Japan for a few weeks, so we’ll reconvene in August.We talk about the state of Apple design under Jony Ive versus Steve Jobs. Then we discuss the recent Grok AI meltdown where it called itself MechaHitler and hinted at a second holocaust. We talk about the schadenfreude we feel watching MAGA melt down over the administration’s Epstein flipflop, and our reactions to “FAFO” stories about normal Trump voters. We end with some thoughts on Mamdani and Democratic Socialism, frustrated by the response from mainstream Democrats. This is a public episode.
