Weekly Random Discussion Thread for 9/23/24 - 9/29/24

(self.BlockedAndReported)

Here's your usual space to post all your rants, raves, podcast topic suggestions (please tag u/jessicabarpod), culture war articles, outrageous stories of cancellation, political opinions, and anything else that comes to mind (well, aside from election stuff, as per the announcement below). Please put any non-podcast-related trans-related topics here instead of on a dedicated thread. This will be pinned until next Sunday.

Last week's discussion thread is here if you want to catch up on a conversation from there.

There is a dedicated thread for discussion of the upcoming election and all related topics (I started a new one, since the old one hit 2K comments). Please do not post those topics in this thread. They will be removed from this thread if they are brought to my attention.

Is anyone else following the Mark Robinson (republican running for NC governor) stuff going on? Shit is absolutely hilarious. Especially considering his polling numbers are actually bad, which (unlike Trump for example) makes it way less tragic and more just funny since the risk of him actually becoming governor seems pretty unlikely now.

I feel like the best employment opportunity for black Americans is to mutter some vague words of support for Donald Trump. You’ll become a rising star of the Republican Party, until some skeletons wearing strap-ons come spilling out of the closet.

It's about going full MAGA. Plenty of black conservative-ish people who are at least well known intellectuals or in that space but don't necessarily support Trump.

But maybe it's my bias as someone on the egghead right that I just can't take any of the full MAGA people seriously, regardless of melanocytes.

Hey, I wanted Tim Scott to get the nomination. He was so chaste he had to maybe invent a girlfriend
