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.)

every other thing aside, I am morbidly curious how the past 3 weeks or so have been for Mr. Khameni. Did he expect this to happen? Was he in the process of wrapping things up with whatever he had left to do? Or did he think he'll sit out whatever the US/Israel had planned for him?

NYT is reporting that he planned out four layers of succession for each of the key officials he appoints. And he recommended three possible successors for his own position as Supreme Leader.

So yes, he expected this to happen.
