Richard Bradbury and Matt Armitage dive headfirst into the chaos of the new year, exploring the decidedly non-sleepy shifts in tech, politics, and society. From the explosive rise of Bitcoin hitting $100k and the ripple effects of Trump's crypto-friendly stance, to Elon Musk's DOGE department and the memecoin degeneracy that's reshaping financial narratives, it's anything but a slow start to 2025.
With the unfolding scandal surrounding the PayPal owned browser extension Honey, they examine the phenomenon of affiliate link hijacking and selective discounting and wonder: Is it a breach of trust or just business as usual?
Meta’s plans to streamline its factchecking operation get a literal short shrift before the pair reflects on the emerging “Clean Slate" trend in newsrooms. A right to forget movement in the U.S., it offers the chance for people to remove the records of minor crimes from digital archives. Should the internet be allowed to forget? Join them as they weigh the ethical, social, and technological implications of this contentious issue.
It’s the Mattsplained version of a Happy New Year to all.
