TMI 02/04/2022 - Wordle Wants to be Free, Reign of the Space Lords, More

from TMI with Aldous Tyler · host Aldous Tyler

From its origins just a few months ago until now, Wordle has become the simple little online game that took over many people's Facebook newsfeeds and more - just in time for the New York Times to swoop in and buy it from Josh Wardle. Oh, the NYT promises it will remain free... for an introductory period. Mr. Wardle couldn't rightly turn down the money thrown at him, but wonders why we can't just have nice free things? Turns out you can - we explain how. Then, once the domain of governmental achievement, the space race has become the realm of - and plaything of - the hyper-wealthy. These "space lords" all have flowery language to describe their visions of the future, but a quick look at their own past and present shows that we may not enjoy the actual outcomes that result from their designs. We discuss all this and much more on TMI for Friday, February 4, 2022 - listen in for YOUR Cure for the Common Media!
