How are you all doing this week? Welcome to the win show. We've got a fantastic show lined

0:09.4

up for you. The big news in tech this week is obviously the social apocalypse. That's

0:17.4

right. We've got the verification topic. We're talking about Twitter. We're talking about

0:25.4

what was the other one. The Tumblr Tumblr's verification checkmarks. We've got Debrand's verification

0:31.2

checkmarks. We'll be chatting a little bit about that. In other news, there were some various

invidious shenanigans. The X408012 gig is back as a 47 DTI, but it's still going to hurt your

2:11.4

obviously, because you're clearly not here. Have you been keeping up with what's been going on

2:19.4

in the social apocalypse? I thought after the first week of Elon owning Twitter that the days of

2:26.1

of of hot and heavy fast and loose updates coming was going to be we're going to be kind of over.

2:33.7
