We explore how disaffected young men anonymously posting memes online led to real-life violence including multiple mass murders, the forming of what came to be known as the alt-right movement, a seismic shift in the Republican party, and the January 6th, 2021 storming of the capitol. Joining us for this very special episode is Elle Reeve, correspondent for CNN and author of the new book Black Pill: How I Witnessed the Darkest Corners of the Internet Come to Life, Poison Society and Capture American Politics.

EPISODE 360: Share Your Cubes, Anders

Hello LGTBQ's and allies alike!

Ben here, today I've got an episode of the Gay List with the hosts of Celebrity Book Club with Steven & Lily. Before we consider every conceivable way in which your man could be gay, we make some very confident debate predictions. I think we slayed.

Then we crack open the list at entry 1,000 and discuss everything from our burning hatred of people who Amazon paper towels to the degenerative effects of viral Grindr screenshots. This episode has it all, gay face vs. lesbian face, the estrogenized womb, straight couples spying on each other, and k*lling your mother–psychologically.

Listen to Lily & Stevens truly her-larious podcast here: https://open.spotify.com/show/3RIvHVayenokiZtiwybORD
