Google still recommends glue for your pizza

After news stories were written about Google AI Overviews telling people to put glue on pizza, now AI Overviews cites those stories to tell people how much glue to put on pizza.

Todd-o-Phonic Todd Has just handed the first batch of song requests to Yo La Tengo and the annual pledge-thon on (and in support of) #WFMU is starting now! @bourgwick is your host, along with regular YLT co-host Gaylord Fields! This special show won’t be archived so make sure you’re tuned in now!⁣

Call 1-800-989-9368 right now to make a pledge of $100 or more and request a cover song for Yo La Tengo to play tonight! Or, follow these steps to make a pledge online:

1. Go to https://pledge.wfmu.org/donate/JJ (it is VERY IMPORTANT that you use this *exact* link to pledge!)⁣
2. Make a pledge of at least $100 to Jesse’s show. (If you make a larger pledge you can split it with other shows, but *at least $100* has to go to Jesse’s show if you want to request a song)⁣
3. Type the name of the cover song that you want Yo La Tengo to play in the box that says "Comment (For DJ)" (see image). Don’t try to stump the band! As Ira said, “we’ll arrive already stumped.”⁣

The YLT pledge-a-thon runs until midnight EDT! Get your pledges and requests in early, and thank you for your support!
Pledge your Support to WFMU!

Pledge to WFMU during our Marathon Fundraiser and keep freeform radio alive and kicking!

One of the things a jury pool can actually do is say “no, this is too fucked up and I absolutely won’t find a Food Not Bombs volunteer ‘guilty’ of feeding people.” Pool of 15, not a single person even willing to consider it.
