Journalists Katie Herzog and Jesse Singal scour the internet for its craziest, silliest, most sociopathic content, part of an obsessive and ill-conceived attempt to extract kernels of meaning and humanity from a landscape of endless raging dumpster fires.

Jesse is wandering around Cuba looking for internet so our extremely online podcast apprentice Tracing Woodgrains steps up to the mic. Discussed: Mormonism, furries, cultural appropriation, cultural gatekeeping, and Dave Rubin’s miracle babies. To discuss this episode with other premium subscribers, click here.

Black voice here. Let me be direct and say that there is no racism on display here, only a pretty fursuit. And while differing hair textures may result in differing hairstyles from one culture to another, I believe that everyone should be allowed to explore looks like these.

Hey guys, I wanna bring your attention to someone that’s being incredibly racist in the community. ❗️DO NOT SUPPORT @Xx_Nymeria_xX ❗️ Many folks, including black voices, have reached out to her to inform her that her hair choice for her suit is cultural appropriation. https://t.co/gtJp7VvRil

Tonight, I have a hard & honest conversation with my friend and fellow @BlazeTV host @RubinReport about his decision to have kids through surrogacy. He tells me "I get why the right has these often legitimate fears." But that CAN'T stop us from having respectful discussions.
