We discuss the rise of book banning and censorship from the GOP and conservative parents and communities throughout the United States this year in the wake of the especially stupid, dangerous censorship of the Pulitzer prize winning graphic novel Maus in the McMinn County Schools district in Tennessee. Emboldened parents are increasingly interfering in public education claiming "parental choice" as an excuse to shut down class discussions on everything from accurate American history to gender and sexuality, to the Holocaust.
We discuss the bleak and muddled state of Democratic politics by way of a Bloomberg article titled "Has Wokeism Peaked?" From the specifics of the San Francisco school board recall and the Canadian truckers, we wonder about how Democrats can actually win the hearts and minds of voters so we can actually enact the social change we all crave. Considering the GOP's hateful, hostile, ignorant platform...we can't believe we keep losing to them! How are we alienating voters?
We discuss the Sex and the City reboot, And Just Like That... because the internet is bursting with opinions and so we naturally felt the need to weigh in.
We discuss Joe Rogan, even though we really don't want to. Spotify, free speech, racism, misogyny, COVID misinformation, capitalism - we get into it because he is, after all, the wealthiest and most popular podcaster on Earth. Gross.
We're back from hiatus! We spend some time venting about some of the news of the past 2 months, and then Erin tells us how she's doing with her nine week old baby, eek!
