    Surprised no one has mentioned Decoder Ring yet.

    Here’s the site description:

    In each episode, host Willa Paskin takes a cultural question, object, or habit; examines its history; and tries to figure out what it means and why it matters. New episodes come out every two weeks.

    Some recent episodes have been about Spring Break, Scratch Off Tickets, and super niche stuff like Pink Lady and Jeff, which hadn’t know about before.

    Also I listen to podcasts at 1.5x speed and the theme music is awesome and perfectly timed at that cadence.

    I would like to see if I can filter out Twitter posts (and comments) from my feed on Tildes. I personally don't want to further engage anymore with the site and I've blocked the URL using ublock so would be good if I can pre-emptively filter the site. There's not a huge traffic but I'll do what I can.

    Honestly I think these will grow friendly-looking over time. I already love their silliness.

    Actually, I found that without an account you can go to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:MobileOptions&returnto=Main+Page on PC and it will maintain the setting when going back to non-mobile. On PC, if this doesn’t work, I otherwise use Dark Reader on automatic mode based on time.
