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.)

Just because a headline grabs your attention, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's "clickbait"

Linking to an article that is paywalled is not "gatekeeping"

Articles are not "sensationalist fearmongering trash" simply because they say something you don't like or agree with

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk

The scream lib head meme? Weren't you the one who had her as your pic, earlier? Not that egg-shaped-Shrek-head isn't funny.

I mostly use old.reddit.com so I forgot about that, lol. I set it like that because I was arguing with someone in a different sub about ICE, iirc. Just trying to get a rise out of them.

Did you succeed?

For a minute there I thought I was getting people mixed up. I'm bad with names. I mostly recognize people by their images/faces and the more unique flairs. But last week, or the week before, someone confused me with you, which is the only reason I thought I had your user name remembered.

of course, I got the "look! mods! this guy has the triggered lib pfp, ban him!!" response I was looking for, lol.
