I make Yapcasts (short-form audios) on www.yapperbot.com . Sometimes it’s random ideas, sometimes it’s stories people send me. If you’ve got something fun in mind you can create on yapperbot, or let me know - I’ll try turning it into audio.

Call a lie a lie.
Stop calling lies opinions.
Stop calling 'A lie' -"misleading"
Stop calling it "Not true"

We've forgotten how to say 'lie'

1. Accepting you were wrong is psychologically costly

2. Admitting you need bailouts because of who you voted for creates cognitive dissonance

3. Easier to double down and believe the narrative that tariffs will eventually work

Cycle will continue.
