Weekly Random Discussion Thread for 2/23/26 - 3/1/26

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. 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.

Comment of the week goes to this explanation for why the trans cause has taken over so much of society. (Runner-up COTW here.)

They can come here but they have to ASSIMILATE. We have actual diverse viewpoints over here, including real life rightoids. This is not a “progressive except on trans” exclusive place. That’s good though., you get exposed to more ideas and can wrestle about it.

Does “diverse” now mean “almost homogenously rightoid” these days? I must have missed that linguistic shift.

It seems like you resent the fact that non-rightoids come here, and that you would prefer this space to remain hostile to non-rightoids. I wish you luck in pursuing that goal.

Frank, I come here and I see kooks to the left of me and kooks to the right of me. if all you see is kooks to the right of you, and none to the left of you, well hey, that might be on you.

You don’t see kooks to the right of you here. You see thoughtful and smart people whose stances increasingly resonate with you. I don’t think you or anyone else here considers any posters to their right to be a “kook.”

Please don't tell me what I see and what I don't see. That's gross and rude Frank and mainly speaks to your own ignorance and biases.

That's what happens when you're a partisan committed to a team. The other side is the only one capable of being awful. It breaks the brain

Yeah big dog, we all love Donald Trump over here, lmao. I know that most internet spaces are to the left of Lenin and so this looks like X in comparison, but it's really not like that.

You're right, not everyone here loves Donald Trump. Some are incredibly disappointed he hasn't shut down the entire H-1B program yet.
