Algorithms suck, and social media is terrible, but today we talk about a bright spot in that landscape, Pickax with CEO Jeff Dornik

Today’s show dug deep into the addictive architecture of modern platforms — the dopamine loops, engineered outrage, algorithmic amplification, and the psychological toll of endless scrolling.We explored how social media mimics the behavioral hooks of casinos and chemical dependency, from intermittent reward cycles to blue-light disruption and attention fragmentation.But this wasn’t just a cultural conversation — it was political. We examined the recent Thomas Massie reporting from Politico, including the controversy surrounding claims that he offered his vote in exchange for public praise. The broader question: in an age driven by clicks and clout, is political leverage becoming performative currency?We also had the press brieifing in hour 2 so if you missed it, not anymore

On the continuing saga Rick has dubbed The Winter of Discontent, the GOP is marshalling its surrender monkey caucus because deporting illegals and battling commies is too hard or something. Rick takes a deep dive into all the news over the weekend. The GOP is lining up to fold, and only you ladies and gentlemen can stop them. 

In this deep-dive episode of The Rick Robinson Show, we trace the long and often misunderstood road that led to the current uprising in Iran. From U.S. policy failures in the 1970s, the fall of the Shah, and the Iranian Revolution, through decades of sanctions, intelligence misreads, and hardened authoritarian survival tactics, we connect the historical dots that explain why today’s Iranian regime fears its own people more than any foreign power.We examine how past American decisions helped shape the conditions that allowed hardliners to consolidate power, how sanctions unintentionally trained the regime to survive pressure, and why modern protests are being met with brutal crackdowns and near-total internet blackouts.Finally, we look at what makes this moment different — from satellite internet breaking censorship to the growing international spotlight — and why the outcome in Iran matters far beyond its borders. This is not a headline show.It’s the history, the policy, and the human cost — all in one place.
