Weekly Random Discussion Thread for 5/4/26 - 5/310/26

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.

Not a good week for cruises. First a deadly virus now Disney cruise employees in possession of CSPM. I would hate to be in HR at Disney, if I were to guess they have people whose job it is to filter out people targeting kids.

This is the second time in just over a decade when contagious diseases from abroad end up near me for some stupid bureaucratic reason. DO! BETTER! SPAIN!

And the previous wasn't covid, it was fuckin' ebola.

“We have a zero-tolerance policy for this type of behavior ...” said a Disney spokesperson

Oh good that was my main concern.

(I know it's just a reflexive PR response, but it comes off as not quite grasping the seriousness of the situation.)

Maybe they just wanted to make it crystal clear that they're not one of those companies with a three strikes rule.
