In this edition of WeekTrenders, Jack and Miles discuss Threads hitting 100 million users over the weekend, OpenAI getting sued by Sarah Silverman for copyright infringement, Clarence Thomas' ethics mess getting even messier, a box office update, Ron DeSantis being "a weird guy" with voters, and Mel Gibson and Trump hanging out at the octagon!

There’s more news and less comprehension today than any historical period that didn’t involve literal witch trials, and trying to stay on top of it all can feel like playing a game of telephone with 30 people, except everyone’s speaking at the same time and like a third of them are openly racist for some reason. From Cracked co-founder Jack O’Brien, THE DAILY ZEITGEIST is stepping into that fray with some of the funniest and smartest comedic and journalistic minds around. Jack and co-host Miles Gray spend up to an hour every weekday sorting through the events and stories driving the headlines, to help you find the signal in the noise, with a few laughs thrown in for free.
