Part 2 of We Shouldn't Name Anything for John Stennis. What really happened in the trial of Ed Brown, Yank Ellington, and Henry Shields? Well, since this is WTW we can't just tell you that small bit of information and have a 3 minute episode. Instead, we've got some historical context, a detailed look at the state's case (argued by Stennis), and then some... more historical stuff. Then finally, some speculation on what might have really happened to Raymond Stewart! Content warning: this episodes contains mention of horrendous racial violence.

This line of research has turned up SO much. Have we got a series for you! This goes so many places. First, we look at John Stennis's pre-Senate life. He eventually white privileged himself into being a Mississippi prosecutor. In that role, he went after 3 black men for a murder they almost certainly didn't commit. The case was so bad it became a landmark Supreme Court case. Content warning: this episodes contains mention of horrendous racial violence.

And you thought we were done campaigning to get stuff at NASA renamed! Well, so did we, to be honest. But then one line in Space Karen's emails we FOIAed changed everything! These next two episodes are a fascinating look at an old Dixiecrat and how effing racist people like that were able to be while still being not just accepted, but HIGHLY regarded and honored within our political institutions. Lydia has lots of archival material for us that paints a very vivid and troubling picture. But, you know, he sounded all Southern and nice and he really respected the institution of the Senate, so let's definitely keep a bunch of stuff named after a white supremacist, right?

WTW submitted its first FOIA related to the Jelliscope Welliscope a while back, and we received responses from NASA to share with you all! Thomas cluing in on one email thread in the midst of hundreds of pages from Nature's FOIA kicked off this quest and we learned a whole lot more about this Space Karen as a result. We also get into more of why Sean O'Keefe is a piece of work with a story Lydia stumbled on in the process. For our amazing patrons, we're attaching the emails themselves as a treat because you all are the best! If you have ideas on avenues to pursue with an additional FOIA to NASA (or insider tips of what dots may connect), feel free to email us at [email protected] or [email protected]!

You might have seen the recent viral TikTok of an unmarried, child-free woman spontaneously deciding to make shakshuka for breakfast after sleeping in a bit the morning after going to the Beyonce concert - or the backlash from conservatives and the anti-woke that promptly followed. So did we, and we've invited none other than unmarried, child-free man Heath Enwright on the show to break down the Fox News reaction. It somehow involves Ancient Rome??? Is one happy unmarried woman the end of all of civilization? Tune in and find out!

Jason Kilborn Part 6: The Grand Finale Folks. You must listen. Seriously. This is too good. It's too good. I can't believe I found this. Kilborn has an incredibly weird, salacious, shocking, but also eerily similar event from his past. In this episode, I take you through the story as told by court documents. Then, get ready for some major context debunking and soap boxing as we bring this thing to a close.

In this penultimate part, we go through why thefire.org is a fucking joke. Sorry, why they are a joke in relation only to THIS case. There are about a billion other reasons they're a joke but we'll have to cover those at a later date. Then from there, we go through the legal stuff. Kilborn SWORE he'd defeat the fascistic tyrants of UIC in court. How did that prediction hold up?

Jason Kilborn Part 4: Hey Maybe He's Just An Asshole? It just keeps getting so much worse. Just wait until you hear unfiltered Kilborn and his Jesus complex. There are also some incredibly embarrassing details about the "settlement" he and the school came to. Not only embarrassing for Kilborn, but also for thefire.org. If you didn't know, thefire.org actually sucks. Not only will you hear some of that, future parts contain way more about how much The Fire sucks!
