Summary

Matt outlines a handful of things that have been confusing and / or upsetting him lately, including but not limited to: how / why the Apple News app is so terrible, how / why many major corporations could have (but did not) help us get through the pandemic faster and safer, how / why social media & search engine algorithms are ruining our lives instead of making our lives better, how / why people who virtue-signal about the COVID-19 vaccine AND those who constantly rail against people who virtue-signal about the COVID-19 vaccine are equally annoying— and how / why no one watched the Oscars last weekend. As an added bonus, at the end of the episode Matt finds and reads aloud the single worst article ever written in the history of journalism. It’s fun!

Yeah. Vax shit. I feel like right now there's like a weird moment in the vaccination situation because everybody that really wanted to get vaxed was either has already been vaxed or is in the process of getting vaxed or at least has an appointment for a vaccination.

1:32.0

But we were vaccinating like I think like three and a half million people a day very recently and now that's numbers like already tumbling to under three million a day.

And it looks to me like it's all the people that were eager to get it myself included.

1:50.0

Have either already gotten it or like me are in the process of getting it. I got my first shot. I get in my second shot in middle of May.

2:17.0

Anytime Joe Rogan's in trouble for saying something. I'm just like.
