Goldberg is not a campus rape skeptic. She’s a “women in college should be the central focus of anti-rape activism” skeptic.

Love the podcast, Patrick, but I’m a little confused by the “two simultaneous seasons” thing.
Do episodes 5 and 6 immediately follow episode 2, while episodes 3 and 4 are a different “season”?

Before the episode, I thought everyone might die except for Jon (thus fulfilling the “last hero” prophecy).

That’s because the Democrats are not a mass party. They’re really just a fundraising apparatus and a ballot line.

Thank you so much for writing this!

Yeah, that’s definitely the sense I get from this thread. It’s not just that expectations about the division of labor are socialized; peoples’ desires are socialized too.

Some kind of shredded potato thing. Like very poorly-made hash browns?

The online story is like an aggregation of the video, rather than a feature story that the video is based on. So weird.
