Episode 154: Saddles And Sadness 🐎😭

---

In this week’s depressing episode… Sigh…

• A journalist is spat on in a high-profile case. Is it time to tone down the rhetoric? It’s probably too late to de-escalate…

• The disappearance of Apu. He’s probably never coming back.

• Matt Yglesias won’t come on the podcast. Should Kanye come on instead? He’ll probably say no too. Sigh…

• Why are young liberals so depressed? Matt Yglesias’ new article sparks discussion, but we probably can’t fix this. We should just give up…

• Katie’s shocking stance on solar power. We’ll never be able to transition to renewables, will we?

• Journalists really messed up with the Tenacious Unicorn Ranch story… Kiwi Farms did the media’s job better than the media did… Not again…

• 28 TERFS PULLING UP IN BLACK FORD RAPTOR TRUCKS. HELICOPTERS LANDED. UNICORN RANCH IS UNDER SIEGE! UNDER LOCKDOWN!
