15,000 new/boosting/upgrading members!! Thank you SO much!
Here's an incredible Show & Tell video from Manolo of Dr. Gameshow. We've got one more video ready—and I bet we'll hit 16k before Bonus Days are over, so I'll hang onto it for now.

I spend most of #MaxFunDrive writing things on behalf of the company. Which means I am generally too tired to write things on my own accounts. And I am! I am very tired! MaxFunDrive is full of fun stuff and also is exhausting! But I'm gonna try to write something anyway. 🧵
Cory coined the term "enshittification" to describe so much of what is happening to commerce today, as more businesses try to be "platforms" or "marketplaces." This is unfortunately true in media as well.
So pleased and proud to once again make my annual donation to @MaxFunHQ (now a worker-owned co-op!) for their Max Fun Drive - thanks to all my favorite podcasts: Judge John Hodgman, Sawbones, Oh No Ross and Carrie, and more!

But there's one more choice that this more open, uncoercive, less shitty version of the world requires: it needs you to choose to support the stuff that you like.
MaxFun doesn't have a paywall, and we don't try to compel you to do anything. But if you're tired of things being shitty, and have the means, and can help things be a little bit better, I hope you'll visit maximumfun.org/join during this #MaxFunDrive.

Some folks think $5/mo isn't enough to really matter. Wrong!
The difference between giving $0 & $5 is not $5. It's basically infinity. It's the amount where a lil kid says 'this much!' and spreads their arms out as far as they can. It cannot be measured.

I will not lie, #MaxFunDrive is a lot of fun but also totally exhausting, and I cannot wait to listen to this while grocery shopping this weekend.
I also just upgraded my membership because this show (and others on the network) bring me a lot of joy. maximumfun.org/join.
