Where There's Woke

Jason Kilborn Part 3: Fucking Duh. Here's What He Really Got In Trouble For

In this part, which was FIVE HOURS PLUS of raw audio, I go through the investigation report and several other authoritative documents and we discover what Kilborn actually got in trouble for. I did edit this down a lot, but this monstrosity still turned into two parts so expect the next part very soon!

Jason Kilborn Part 2: A Sally Sitwell Side Quest Lydia takes us through the Sally Satel artisanal coffee fiasco. It's a story that was referenced by Jason Kilborn in his Campus Reform interview. Does the anecdote hold up? Or is the complete opposite true. We also get our first preview of thefire.org being an absolute joke. There's so much here. There's also some yelling. I firmly believe it's justified, but apologies if you don't like yelling. Please skip forward rather than turning it off because this episode has so many amazing revelations.

Go there now to catch the bonus debunk!

Part 1: Anatomy of a Bull Shit We begin a new series at last! UIC Law Prof Jason Kilborn was BANNED from campus due to the woke left not being able to handle seeing a redacted racial slur in an exam question. He was forced to undergo sensitivity trainings and write essays. At least... that's how Bill Maher and every anti-woke clone present this one. But is it true? Well, you'll have to wait for that answer, but in the meantime, we go through the origins of this wokelore. And we see how it spreads far and wide in an instant.

It's an Ample Sample (tm)(butnotreally) of the August Bonus which goes out to 2nd tier patrons and above! Pledge at that level to get the whole thing, but I wanted to share a large chunk of it with everyone, because we put our hearts into it and want to share it widely!

This was a massive recording. You'll hear, I originally thought it was going to be episode 7, but it went on so long and we couldn't avoid playing a TON of Ben Shapiro, so I called an audible and it became the August bonus! I hope you amazing patrons enjoy. Lydia and I put a lot into this one. It's a bit personal too. We're excited to share it with you!

This is the second (and final!) part on Michael Powell's first NYT story, which left out crucial context and fundamentally misled people about Title IX and about Trump/DeVos's policy changes. Folks. There are 2 major bombshells in this one. There's also disturbing resemblence to the NASA JWST story in terms of how Powell bungled this one. 'Bungled' is actually too delightful a word for what is more accurately described as blatant lying.

There are 2 bonus things on the way imminently. You want to make sure you're a patron when they drop!

Michael Powell is the (former) NYT journalist who completely botched the JWST coverage, as previously discussed at length here. But did you know before that he also completely botched some Title IX / Campus Sexual Assault coverage? We've got his asshole origin story here and it's every bit as terrible as you'd expect. This is a two-parter, and I promise you the payoff in later part 2 is worth the slow burn. There is a paragraph in his story that is some of the worst journalism I've ever seen.

It's a Woke Monster of the Week! Jordan Peterson and Richard Dawkins take turns giving each other public handies while they debate the most important question of 2014. That is - Has the Left gone too far? Dawkins lies about the one thing he should be an expert in in order to outdo Peterson's transphobia. Fortunately we have the Richard Dawkins (Eli Bosnick) to read his own shitty Substack and get to the bottom of this whole thing.

Oh god this one was so much fun. Join me, Lydia, and my brother Sam Smith as we debunk and roast a delightfully stupid but pathologically dishonest Fox News segment! Wait... that could describe literally all of them. But THIS one was about New York Pizza Ovens!

It's the 4th and final part of the #RenameJWST series! In this episode, we finally delve into the actual history of James Webb and the Lavender Scare. How much can we hold him accountable? What does the evidence tell us about his role? And how do the defenses of his character hold up to scrutiny? There is so much in this. I've never worked even half this amount of time on another show before. I hope you enjoy!

This is part 3 in the NASA James Webb Telescope naming controversy! Make sure you've listened to the first two! When NASA decided to keep the name James Webb for their telescope, the decision was so abruptly made and hastily communicated that not just one but several journalists submitted FOIA requests to see what actually happened. This trove of emails is the result of that. I take you through the highlights and lowlights. There are SEVERAL smoking guns in these emails. Not only were those not mentioned in the NYT coverage, these emails were not even acknowledged at ALL. They tell quite a different story about how this was handled, and it's not good. Like very not good. Oh and Hakeem Oluseyi is full of shit.
