Real heads will remember the first ever episode of Ten Thousand Posts we recorded. The audio was horrible, Phoebe was recording from a phone in a bowl, there were times when Hussein had no idea what she was saying as the line went flat. Nevertheless, we spoke about the most important post, arguably, of the 2010s - one that still underpins much of Twitter discourse today, and set the blueprint for how 'threads' are valued.

Today, we're launching the rebuild of this episode - not least so that people actually can understand what we were talking about. But also, we reflect on the thread's relevance today, and find out what happened to Eric Garland in the post-Trump era: One where, while his political mission has been (sort of accomplished), his real enemy, Edward Snowden, still remains at large in Russia.

This week, we are joined by Cameron Wilson of Crikey News to discuss his quest to find the guy pictured in the classic 'Heartbreaking: the worst person you know just made a great point' clickhole article and frequently shared reaction meme. Join us on this journey of discovery- but first- Let's check in again with our old friend Jordan Peterson in another installment of the Jordan Peterson Report!

On this week's Bonus episode, Phoebe is joined by close personal friend of the show, Milo Edwards of Trashfuture and Masters of our Domain, to discuss the very specific kind of posting native to the website Quora. Quora is a questions-and-answers website a la Yahoo answers, but somehow more unhinged.

Eleanor (@goingmedieval) joins us once again to talk about this weird thing where TERFs and Trad guys seem to realise their visions of the future really aren't that different, and how following the same pathology of posts have allowed them to arrive there. We also talk about how Trads have successfully used the political purchasing power of TERFs to advance their own anti-feminist politics, in such a way that their online habits are basically a mainstay of politics now. Plus, we revisit friend of the show Greg Kelly, who once again is crying because the woke left are RUINING his favourite SWEET TREATS.

On this week's Bonus episode, Phoebe is joined by Rax and Amber from the Low Culture Boil podcast to discuss posting, the generational divide in attitudes toward privacy online, and at the end whether or not Demons are real (they are).

This episode started out with a plan and ended up just being a long-form chat between friends. So make yourself a cup of tea, pull up a chair, and listen to the 10K Posts Tarts's Summit.

We're joined by Gizmodo's Shoshana Wodinsky to talk about how tech companies are using the impending repeal of Roe v Wade as an opportunity to expand their surveillance apparatus and abilities, and how basically every smart phone is going to be used as a hyper-personalised surveillance device that will employ the combination of ad-tech, tracking and state surveillance to build a system that constantly monitors you, tries to sell stuff to you and, also, arrest you. Shoshana tells us some ways to work around this that are essential to do any form of activism. Also, we check in on Jordan Peterson, who has seemingly pissed off some of his fanbase who are dating women who aren't instagram models.

This week, as part of her continuing revenge on Hussein for making her watch, in her words, "a cartoon", Phoebe has forced him at gunpoint to watch a few episodes of this year's Love Island. 

But, we can't do it alone, so joining us this week is culture writer Emma Garland! You can find Emma on twitter at https://twitter.com/emmaggarland and find her writing for Vice and The Guardian here https://www.vice.com/en/contributor/emma-garland  and here https://www.theguardian.com/profile/emma-garland, respectively.

On this week's bonus episode, we've heard your demands and finally- JUST THIS ONCE- acquiesced. Morbius is a fascinating example of a movie so awful and uninteresting that it became an object of ironic enjoyment. Posters managed to convince Disney to reopen the movie in cinemas, only for it to pull in about 80 dollars per cinema on average on it's reopening weekend.

Joining us to talk about this is Twitch Streamer and QANON Anonymous contributor Liv Agar, who penned the tweet that brought this back to our attention. https://twitter.com/Liv_Agar/status/1532643775553712130?s=20&t=hlAxrWGE_Ui5c2s1twW3yw
Devon joined for this one too, making this our first ever four-mic episode. And truly, what better a topic to break records for.

This week, we're rejoined by Andrew Law (@IllyBocean) from Boontavista to discuss the recent 'Am I The Asshole' post about the couple cancelling the catering at their wedding to afford a visit from Mickey and Minnie Mouse, and to go into depth about the phenomenon of 'posting about your kids'

Tune in for Phoebe's opinion on Disney Adults, Hussein somehow keeping the promise 'I'm only going to mention Morbius once this episode', and Andrew being such a good friend that, when asked to bring in good dadposts, brings not one but TWO posts by his friend Theo.
