WTW66: Dissecting Trump's Madison Square Garden Rally Nov 04, 2024

Show notes

Part 1!

Lydia watched 6 hours of this "not a Nazi" rally to drill down to the highlights (lowlights?) among the speakers, who may very well hold positions in a Trump administration if he's elected. There are hilarious moments, and also quite a lot of really horrible racism and misogyny that we can't allow to be swept under the rug. Please vote.

WTW65: A Coin Flip from Fascism - Are the Polls Rigged? Nov 01, 2024

Show notes

We interrupt our Yale Law series because this election has us too stressed the f$#% out. It seemed like we'd be ok. It seemed like we were going to win. Now the polls do not look good. What changed?

I wanted to talk about the very real possibility that in a few short days, MAGA fascists will have won control of... everything. Absolutely everything. The Presidency, Congress, and of course the Supreme Court is already in their hands. The polls are in their favor. Should we believe them?

WTW64: Did Students Shut Down Bipartisan Free Speech Event at Yale Law School? Sep 30, 2024

Show notes

This is -sort of- part 8 of our series, Jon Ronson's Things Fell Apart Falls Apart

S2E6 of Things Fell Apart has yet more anti-woke propaganda and credulous reporting. But before we even get to the meat of that, Ronson plays a few audio clips of some anti-woke scare stories. I decided it would be a good idea to focus on those and do some side quests, which are also still relevant to his BS framing but allow us to take some detours and a break from 100% Ronson.

This first one: Did students at Yale Law shut down a free speech event? Were police called? Why did they do that? How snowflakey could these woke snowflake students get? Orrrrrrr was maybe something else was going on...

WTW61: That Time Jon Ronson Both Sides'ed Trans People's Lives Sep 20, 2024

Show notes

Part 5 of our series Jon Ronson's Things Fell Apart Falls Apart

Alright, this episode of Things Fell Apart is what really did it. S2E5. This is the one that made us absolutely certain we had to do this series. Jon Ronson introduces listeners to January Littlejohn, a "concerned mother" in Florida, and what happened when her child began questioning their gender identity. However, in his neverending quest to both sides literally every topic, Ronson misses some major plotholes to the story, and allows harmful rhetoric and misinformation to stand virtually unchallenged; thankfully we have Lydia to help fill in the gaps that Things Fell Apart listeners didn't get to hear!

WTW60: The Left Wing Media, in Their Way Sep 05, 2024

Show notes

The 4th part of our series Jon Ronson's Things Fell Apart Falls Apart

It's time to move on to... episode 3 of season 2 of Things Fell Apart. This episode features the worst example of both sidesing I've ever heard. It's astonishing. An interracial family was driving in the woods to go camping during the pandemic. A group of angry right wing racists, with guns and dogs, follows them and cuts down trees to block the road and prevent their escape. You might be wondering how in the world someone could "both sides" this event. Welp, Jon Ronson finds a way. And it's... oof. Just yikes.
