AI Is Coming for the Office First — and It’s Mostly Women

NY Post— AI isn’t targeting people—it’s targeting routine work, and a lot of that work is done by women. Admins, clerks, and assistants are first on the chopping block, and without retraining, the tech “future” looks a lot like economic backsliding.

The Robots Started Their Own Social Network

ArsTechnica— A new platform lets AI bots talk only to each other—posting, debating, and even inventing fake religions with zero humans involved. We didn’t build social media for robots… they just went ahead and claimed it anyway.

Bad advice for good people.

As heard on the B-Team Morning Show

Each weekday, some poor soul writes in for help. Uncle Bobby gives them the worst advice we can legally put on the air.

July 24 · Today's Letter

Today's Holidays

Celebrate the weird stuff. We do.

Holiday #1 of 4

Tater Tot Day

Folks gather ‘round microwaves and air fryers like it’s a damn spiritual revival, worshipping the golden crust of processed comfort. Mark your calendar, cancel your cardiologist—this one’s for the stomach, not the soul.
