Much like amateur zoologist Brian Fellow, we are very excited and a little bit scared this week. The trial of Roger Stone began in a typical carnival fashion, with profuse sweating, food poisoning and diarrhea. Facebook–oops, we mean FACEBOOK–banned suggestive eggplant and peach emojis. A drunk man in England attempted to have sex with a pile of leaves. Brian went on a digital gay culture walkabout involving iced coffee, chairs and parallel parking. An obscure filmmaker announced he is raising the dead, casting a CGI James Dean as the star of his forthcoming Vietnam action movie. Plus: Rachel caught up with her former Twitter colleague Josh Grau to process the news that they used to interact with a coworker who, according to a new indictment, was a Saudi spy.

In this week’s episode: 

Rachel used to work with a Saudi spy, according to a new indictment.

Huge Nope to casting CGI versions of dead people in movies. 

 

Big #YUPs to…

Jack Dorsey–a first for us!–for banning political advertising on Twitter. 

The Democrats, for kicking ass in Virginia and Kentucky. Let’s keep it going, people.
