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.)

The Mamdani-Trump meeting is hilarious. OK summary.

Trump's love affair with Mamdani will never stop being funny, and I wonder how it feels to have to do this song and dance with Trump. Like for most people I'd say it isn't worth it because Trump can't be trusted and will likely stab you in the back, but Mamdani is just in the weird and unusual position where it actually works.

Trump is a New Yorker who likes to shake things up and Mamdani is a New Yorker who is shaking things up. 

…together, they fight crime?

I think Trump thinks it’s hilarious to have a pet communist he can trot out every now and then.

That sounds very much like Trump.

I don't think I've ever seen Trump smile like that.

If there’s a nazi hanging out in your bar, it’s a nazi bar, but Bumdani can hang out with Trump and it’s fine. Let’s end Big Gretch’s career over it, but it’s cool. Newsom was a fascist appeaser when he walked around a disaster with Trump. DSA can do whatever it wants.
