Good morning.

Episode 10 is out [bit late 😬].

Take a listen as Sal and Don discussed the start of a super important campaign to try to bring the media's Overton window back to reality.

We also have a bit of a chat with Gary Trowsdale — which was great.

I did another Data Deep Dive.

Shall I just go ahead and call them Don's Data Deep Dives? Seems likely to happen!

Anyways, it's a long post about Rupert Lowe and his artificial engagement boosting. Link below, but image attached also.
