The news of the week isn’t always great fodder for purely frivolous conversation, but worry not! We are capable of finding the frivolity! This week we discuss the way that our fractured and willfully half-honest media ecosystem makes it impossible to collectively mourn mass trauma, and also how the local upper elementary school is recruiting the IMPRESSIONABLE YOUTS to Team Gay. Listen, if you must! Has something we said, or failed to say, made you FEEL something? You can tell us all about it by joining the conversation on our Substack or you can send us an email here. Enjoy!
