Plus, a college cancelation.
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.
This week on Blocked and Reported, Katie tells Jesse about the unforunate world of prankers and streamers, featuring Mizzy the Menance, Ice Posiedon, and Arab Andy. Plus, UCLA grad students write a letter and when a man loves a collie.

Re: pride events, this is my grumpy Gen X take but I find it annoying how many millennial parents think every venue needs to be a family venue. Like, don’t take your kids to a bar or the Dyke March
I hate to be that person. But, Jesse and Katie, I really believe you’d have a less cavalier attitude toward the inappropriateness of many Pride events if you were parents yourselves.
When you’re not looking at the world through the eyes of your own kid, you don’t see the world the way kids do.
Few parents feel it’s OK for their kids to listen to “WAP,” watch men in assless chaps twerking, see a person in a dog mask being led on a leash, or see men with titties strolling around wearing nothing but pasties on those titties.
This is stuff you routinely encounter at Pride events. It’s gross for kids.
