Elephant Journal: Walk the Talk Show with Waylon Lewis · April 3 · 9 min

314. (You say you wanna Revolution) Stop Doing This.

Support the Good Wolf. This week, Waylon speaks with the Elephant community about April Fools' Day, why he calls it a holy Buddhist holiday, and shares the reasoning behind why we go hard on the so-called joking on this day each year as a publication. He also offers a reminder for us all about The Man and Big Tech, and how we may not be walking our talk as often as we think we are. Waylon: "When Elephant talks—jokes—about selling out on April Fools' Day, people are offended, or freaked out, or just plain sad. Which I actually think is healthy! What I think is actually troubling is how many 'congratulations' I get every year for 'selling out to The Man and becoming filthy rich...'" If you can't boycott 'em, use them...instead of just being used by them.
