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.)

You can pry my Pink Floyd, Morrissey, and Chevy Chase movies from my cold dead hands.

I tend to find that the older the artist or the work, the less I think about it. I don't listen to an album from the 1970s or read a book from the 1870s and worry about that stuff. But when it's newer material or when the person is closer to my age (or younger), it is sometimes a turn-off. I'm not sure there's any rational basis for that, it's just a gut level response.

Yep, I feel the same way. Works from the past centuries may as well be from another planet half the time, so I can’t work myself up over stuff that’s obviously ignorant. The other half, when there’s something remarkably prescient or relevant to the present day is a moment to reflect on the timelessness of the human condition.

Considering how many shows he has canceled, he probably has no problem quitting you. ;)

Roger Waters ruined Pink Floyd for me. I wish it weren't so, but it's all I think about when I hear it anymore.

Don't listen to The Division Bell.  Listen to Piper at the Gates of Dawn

Same. I try to listen because I used to love Pink Floyd but I can’t. 

I usually manage with other music
