CW: Police brutality against unarmed Black Civilians, Racial relations Today's episode is a unique and possibly difficult listen. It was recorded nearly 2 weeks after George Floyd was killed by police. My friend Anton and I talk about what this all means, how to navigate social media in times like this, and why the phrases “All Lives Matter” and “Blue Lives Matter” are in extremely poor taste. We also have a discussion on Prince, a mutual favorite artists of ours and the reason we became friends.
