In a nod to the relativity of time under COVID, this week’s episode was actually recorded last week when Cognitive Dissidents Katie Massa Kennedy and Dr. David Robinson looked at the SCOTUS decision to make women property of the state, the messaging gap between the parties, why the “information-resistant” folks may want to drop the horse paste and pick up some fentanyl, and much, much more!
