After our throwback last week, Shayna & J.J. are bursting at the seams to discuss the disparate impact of climate change on low-income neighborhoods, the disintegration of certain presidential candidates right before our eyes, and the devastating loss of yet another black trans woman. (And what, exactly, is this Jay-Z/NFL business partnership supposed to be accomplishing?) Plus: We share some “Capital L” learns that made our week just a little bit easier.
