Full disclosure, I didn’t read the whole thing. But I found it referenced here: https://www.vulture.com/article/gimlet-reply-all-controversy-spotify-test-kitchen.html

Shortly after the release of the second episode, he took to Twitter. In a long thread, he accused the Reply All team — specifically Pinnamaneni and PJ Vogt, one of the show’s co-founders — of contributing to a “near-identical toxic environment at Gimlet” as described in the Bon Appétit miniseries.

I also always thought that PJ was needlessly mean to Alex sometimes and I love Alex lol

I haven’t, it was my understanding that PJ was one of the problem people at Gimlet when the whole BA thing went down so I’ve stopped following him.

Don’t take that as gospel, though! I could be wrong. I haven’t looked into it since it happened.

I used to like him but I can’t stand him now for the above reasons. I have no respect for someone who knowingly gives a HUGE platform to grifters. It’s the biggest podcast in the world so anything said on there has a significant cultural impact.

Nobody was talking about RFK until he was a guest. Now there’s tons of people who think he’s a real candidate for the presidency because …why else would Joe have him on the show?

I think Joe Rogan treads in dangerous waters with some of his guests and it ruins the whole thing. He should have stuck to comedians because I agree with you - those are funny and worth listening to

The end of Radiolab was so rough. They got pushed into doing some more serious reporting and it started to lose its charm…and then the drama that finally shut it down was a bummer.

I wish Alex Goldman would start a new show with a similar format. I liked PJ as a host but Alex carried it for me.

Yeah super great guests like Jordan Peterson and RFK. Yikes.

Rogan ran out of interesting fringe guests years ago. Now he hosts a platform for mostly nutjobs to promote their easily-refutable conspiracy theories while he replies with “Wow”

I completely agree about the skillsets but if you’re incapable of creating a clean and readable drawing, you should choose a job that doesn’t involve that at all

At my company, the design of a system (high end AV) is done by someone else, they provide a rough sketch if needed and then my role is verifying the functionality and creating the plans, diagrams, and support material for the installers/programmers.

I started in the industry as an installer before moving to programming so it’s important to me that I make the field techs’ lives easier. But for some coworkers, that is simply not a concern

I am confident in my knowledge but I lied about my drafting skills when I got hired and it turns out I’m a lot better at CAD than the majority of my coworkers. The people who trained me are EXPERTS so I assumed everyone at my company was just as skilled as them…nope, people submit some real shitty drawings and have no problem putting their name on it. They’ve got me beat with technical knowledge but I’m the guy who makes the cleanest diagrams.

I have never had a bad experience at the DMV

Oh yeah good point. I was still sleepy when I commented and thought OP just wanted to copy the data

Robocopy

It’s built into windows and very handy

It’ll get downvoted because it’s an extremely cold Enlightened Centrist take. You’re cherry picking one, albeit major, thing they have in common and ignoring the difference between the policies they enact.

Yes at the end of the day the real battle is absolutely between the 99% and 1% but to pretend that there is no discernable difference between the two major parties is asinine.
