Viral Mine + Angle Desk

Every weekday at 7: the internet's most viral advice, sorted into five things worth arguing with.

Less in. More out.

Every weekday at 7 it pulls the most viral advice posts across TikTok, Instagram, Shorts and X, and transcribes them. Here's what that adds up to.

How it works

Every weekday at 7 it pulls the most viral advice posts across TikTok, Instagram, Shorts and X, and transcribes them. A cheap filter picks the claims worth answering and how: flip it, expose it, rip it, or yes-but it.

The best five become briefs on a page I call the Angle Desk: the claim, what's off about it, a few angles, and questions to get me talking. I keep, kill or record my take. It never writes the script.

Before
  • Doom-scrolling for ideas
  • Starting from a blank page
  • Reacting to whatever I saw last
  • Takes I couldn't back up
Now
  • Five claims waiting every morning
  • Each one already broken down
  • Questions that get me talking
  • My words, my order

Eight steps. I come in at the end, with a coffee.

Who's on it

It learns what I'd pick

The Angle Desk remembers every keep and kill.

Those picks become the answer key the filter gets checked against, so the five waiting tomorrow look more like the five I'd have chosen.
