Art and I chat about...all the things you're probably not supposed to chat about.....

Where find Art on twitter - @arttavana

Where to find me on twitter - @jenniferm_q

A tale of two stories - one that hasn't been covered nearly enough and one that has been covered to death. I talk about the 21 Savage / ICE debacle and Omar's Very Divisive Tweet

recorded 2/13/19 PM

I'm back in town and ready to talk! And there is plenty to talk about! I chat about the New Green deal and how Team AOC totally botched the rollout, the ongoing mess in Virginia, and the attempted blackmail of Bezos by AMI

Bezos' Medium post that puts it ALL out there - https://medium.com/@jeffreypbezos/no-thank-you-mr-pecker-146e3922310f

Things are getting completely out of control in Virginia, so much so we almost didn't have any time in the news cycle to discuss Trump's SOTU address

So of course I wanted to talk about both

Recorded 2/6 (yes we have to date stamp these things now that's how crazy the news cycles have gotten)

I've been working on a project so I've been searching the web for feminist content and...well...it's not been going so good. 

Here's one of the specimens I've found of somewhat (?) common feminist thought that I thought I'd share my feelings on

Weekly roundup time! Starting off with Trump re-opening the government (for now) and visiting the Venezuela situation, then moving into the Marriott "how to spot a sex trafficked woman" story and its implications and ending with the super weird Smollett story

Also I'll be in NH at Liberty Forum next week so woohoo for that!

It's not a book per se but I thought since socialism / communism is the topic of the moment now would be a good time to do this episode. 

If you would like to read it for yourself you can find it for free on the internet or buy it on Amazon like a good capitalist

I'm very much here for ending the sad dead end Covington Catholic story because BTW THINGS ARE HAPPENING IN VENEZUELA and also the online media game may / will be changing in ways we need to discuss

I'm more than a bit annoyed at the media and twitter right now....

All the controversy news that's fit to podcast! And some that probably isn't but I decided to discuss anyway!

I chat about Gillette annoying the crap out of everyone, Tamika Mallory not being able to say the correct things, and Buzzfeed's very questionable bombshell piece.

Here's the stupid dumb Gillette ad if you haven't seen it already - https://youtu.be/koPmuEyP3a0
