About time. For many people this isn’t something that’ll make a big difference for them, especially with the Deck’s battery being (relatively) easy to replace yourself. Still nice to have the option accessible for those who want it.

They are pulling protection details from people like Fauci, career non-partisan government officials who’ve been branded enemies of the right. Besides the obvious, I’m sure part of the reason was to re-allocate those resources elsewhere.
With the site now serving as an outlet for right wing narratives and misinformation that benefits the administration, there will be an incentive to prop it up financially if need be. Banks have been trying unsuccessfully to offload their debt used to finance the acquisition, so it seems investors aren’t as confident in the site’s long term profitability even with its newfound role.
I mostly go for nonfiction stuff related to current events or history. Unfortunately some of these aren’t free.
Slow Burn - Each season goes deep on a particular event in recent (US) history. Quality falls off a bit after the first few seasons.
Fiasco - produced and hosted by the the guy that did the first 2 seasons of Slow Burn. Also US centric.
History on Fire - Haven’t listened to too much of this yet but was suggested the episode on Ötzi the Iceman which made me a fan. Probably the only one on here that isn’t US centric.
Throghline from NPR. Another history-ish podcast but focuses on current issues and the history behind them.
Going to check out some of these suggestions.
Yeah, as much as I like this feature I’d rather just be able to easily replace the battery. Or at least not have it glued in…
