Summary

Business Joker. You thought it was just a dumb meme, but to your hardo connections on LinkedIn, it’s a way of life. On this week’s Trashfuture, Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), and Nate (@inthesedeserts) spoke with Sarah Manavis (@sarahmanavis) discuss Tumblr’s ban on porn (and how tech companies fundamentally do not understand their users), a WeWork job description for what sounds like the editor of a cult yearbook, why YouTube’s pro-racism user base hated its yearly rewind video, and a lot terrible business success ideas. On this episode, we discussed an article that Sarah wrote about Tumblr.

Do you want a soup mug? Yes, you do, because this dying planet demands more themed trinkets: https://teespring.com/trashfuture-soup-mug#pid=659&cid=102910&sid=front

0:00.0	Hussein, you've only gone and done it again.
0:03.1	I am back on my bullshit, yes.
0:07.1	How do I explain this?
0:08.5	Okay, so as the listeners will know, I'm in New York still for another week,
0:13.5	and it was two in the morning, and I was very awake.
0:16.7	So as normal people do, I went on Twitter. And I just came up with something really stupid.
0:22.1	So I tweeted out, I love to be a doctor.
0:26.7	I'll find the tweet now one second.
0:28.6	I love being a doctor and whispering the verses of the Quran into the ears of white babies
0:33.7	and therefore making them Muslim.
0:35.9	The hospital I work for knows that I have been doing this for years, but can't strike
0:39.8	me off because they are scared of being called racist.
0:44.6	So I tweeted it out and it kind of got some moderate engagement.
0:47.9	I kind of, so the reason why I wasn't really that bothered by it initially was because
0:51.7	this follows the exact same format as the soup tweet.
0:55.6	It's the same tweet.
0:56.6	It's the same tweet. It's the same tweet. It's like a Spider-Man reboot, right?
1:03.2	It's the soup tweet reboot. Right? It's just, it's the same thing with like a slightly
1:08.1	sexier, sexier characters and it makes less sense than like the
1:13.3	original. Yeah. Instead of Tommy Robin Soup, it's St. Tommy's Hospital. Right, right. So I woke up,
1:19.4	I woke up and obviously like it's like 2pm or something at that time in the UK, but like it's just
1:24.7	sort of blown up. And it's blown up with people who like generally know that, okay, it's a joke and it's
