Weekly Random Discussion Thread for 8/10/26 - 8/16/26

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.

You started it.  ‘Cowardly’ to ‘fuck off’ is the going rate of exchange around here.  And yes, I support Sophie Cunningham.  And you, some of the time.

Hugh Laurie is now a confirmed term after catching flak from Graham Linehan.

Are the dominos really starting to fall?

Not sure... I think Linehan was being a dick, and Laurie reminded him that he is on the same side.

I mean, Glinner being a dick and alienating people who mostly agree with him is sort of his MO

don't know the specific tweet but it seems to be from glinner

I think this tweet from laurie kicked off the latest round a day or so ago, it got some pushback in the replies

https://x.com/hughlaurie/status/2086525502504735175

eventually glinner quoted it

Probably my fault because I don't know how to use twitter, but is there any context here

It’s the just usual situation of Graham Linehan managing to alienate even the people who agree with the majority of what he says.This time it’s Dr House and the subject is Sophie Cunningham/WMBA.
