1. Roasting the Broligarchy: Basking in the Blue Waves While Anticipating Narcissistic Collapse

   5 november 2026 · 1 uur 6 min

   Afspelen
   Who has two tiny thumbs and lost bigly? Whose "crime family" will now face thorough investigation for enriching themselves as the public they're meant to serve struggled to survive? What did a waterlogged, herpetic corpse say would happen if his network of pedo enablers lost power? This pod aims to answer those questions and more. Lees meer

   The midterm elections resulted in a loud and powerful rebuke of the Trump regime. Citizens across the country turned up to vote and reset states and counties that had been stagnant for decades. Here, we recap those results, explain why some state elections haven't yet been called, and summarize what new leaders say will happen next. This moment of levity is a beautiful thing, a sanity check in a country that seemed to have gone mad. Seeing the vast majority of Americans reject cruelty, abuse, and corruption is the first step, the next is to hold our newly elected representatives accountable to produce results.

   Previously known as one of many 'Jane Doe' survivors, Dr. Larissa Portnoff, PhD, a clinical psychologist practicing in NYC, went public this week with her statement that Donald Trump abused her in her childhood and made efforts to maintain contact with her through 2025. In response to her request for people to share her story, this pod includes a recording of her statement in her own words. Then, we begin Part 1 of going through a newly released, 53-page report from the U.S. House Judiciary Committee entitled, "We Have Certain Things in Common Jeffrey: The Case Against Donald Trump Emerging in the Epstein Files and DOJ's Desperate Efforts to Cover It Up". The report walks through the history of Trump and Epstein from their 90's era of brazenly targeting girls and young women from modeling agencies and beauty pageants, to their similar coercion and outreach strategies, and 11 statements from Epstein survivors and others who remember the two men's predatory conversations and/or interactions. Part 2 will cover the remaining seven survivor stories that include Katie Johnson and Maria Farmer.

3. The Murder of Sandra Birchmore

   TW: This pod discusses detailed accounts of grooming, SA, violence, sadism, and allegations of self harm. Lees meer

   The murder of Sandra Birchmore typically centers around her death in February 2021, but the path that led there begins with a childhood program, Explorers, run by the Stoughton Massachusetts police department. This pod goes back to that time, walking alongside that path from 12 years old on. In doing so, demonstrating the insidious and patient nature of a predator grooming a child that results in the victim's attachment, dedication, and persistent hope to please them. With her abuser and alleged killer, Matthew Farwell, currently on trial, understanding how he, and his network of dangerous men, obtained positions of power and control over children is also key. In the end, the real heroes of her story are the friends and family who refused to stay silent after her death, the agencies who listened, and what they revealed as a result.

   Episode five focuses on day three of Bronwyn's San Francisco trip that was meant to culminate in a fabulous disco party where new and old friends meet her model boyfriend and celebrate a new chapter of her life . Instead, Lisa and DJ Meredith decide to drop a diss track without context and get kicked out. In episode six, Mary hosts a lunch to heal their rifts and performs a miracle, getting Meredith to apologize. Lisa, however, remains committed to her usual reaction to double down and even Mary realizes that, like a good lipliner, she won't budge. Also, Britney takes event flowers and remains focused on Bronwyn's real estate narrative, Whitney makes up with Ashley Quai, Angie continues to struggle with her marriage but won't burden Mary with her troubles, and Heather keeps getting away with lowdown, dirty deeds.

   Who restricted vital Starlink satellite access in Ukraine, and why? What's the record for the shortest term of a Press Secretary? How do the new mandatory investment accounts for kids work, what risks do they present, and why is the Annabelle doll there? What's going on with the reflecting pool and other D.C. landmarks? Why is Ken Paxton unfit for public office and arguably one of the worst people to ever run? Why is a tubby, pale poser with daddy issues dedicating more of his inflated wealth to meddling in America's midterms? This pod attempts to answer these questions and more with a comedic take, stack of sources, and lack of tolerance for the patriarchy. Lees meer

   After a summary of what The Golden Life premier event in NYC was like, we jump back into a Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Recap. The women are still kicking off their San Francisco trip by kicking Ashley Quai when she's down, disarmed by the betrayal of Whitney. Angie confides in Heather that her marriage is struggling and confides to cameras about how bad its been. Heather continues to try to make Triflin' Tripp happen, Brittany grills Bronwyn, and Meredith remains a master of scowling. A trip to a vibrator museum adds some extra spice to a dinner that we already knew was going to go badly, with Lisa's lipliner is the uncredited housewife of this episode. We end with the Whitney/Ashley Quai fall out going strong and without any San Francisco peace and love on the horizon. Lees meer

   Catching up on Season 7 of what is arguably the most entertaining Real Housewives franchise on Bravo for a nice break between deep dives. In the premier, the ladies set their petty differences aside to support Mary in her time of loss and through her decision to remain a cast member alongside women she refers to as family. We also meet Heather's new-old cheater boyfriend and get up to speed on three women currently leaving their sub-par husbands, and one who almost did. Across the episodes, heartfelt moments and hilarity ensue as the group delves into their personal struggles while also bickering about ridiculous perceived offenses. By episode three, we have props, wigs (both costume and incognito), accusations, and tears. It's pure joy. Season 7 is starting off strong. Lees meer

   Trigger Warning: Detailed discussion of multiple SA incidents. Lees meer

   In October of 2024, an inebriated 20 year old woman (Jane Doe) was advertised as "free pussy" on a snapchat thread for the Chi Phi fraternity on Cornell's campus. According to her lawsuit, after reporting the incident and providing evidence, her case was never criminally investigated and she was never informed about outcomes beyond a separate Title IX process. This pod reviews that recent lawsuit against fraternity members, the bar who served her when underage, her sorority, and Cornell. Included are statements from her lawyer on how the case was mishandled, articles from campus papers about the school's failures, the history of widely reported sexual abuse at Cornell, and examples of different situations where the university didn't hesitate to expel students.

9. Books/Movie Review: The Love Hypothesis, Love on The Brain, and Not In Love

   An enemies-to-lovers, dating trope romcom? Yes, please. Having recently read several of Ali Hazelwood's STEM romance series, and just now watching the adaptation of The Love Hypothesis, this pod presents a review of each. It's understood that a movie will never be able to fully capture the nuances and detail provided in a 300+ page book, so the goal here is to critique the film as a stand alone work before comparing it to the book's plotlines. Those comparisons can be subjective, but specific choices did alter the book in a way that fundamentally changed the characters. Whether those changes were good, bad, or inconsequential is up for debate. Then, a quick synopsis and review of two more books I read, Love on the Brain, and Not In Love. While several elements remain constant throughout Ali Hazelwood's books, each one presents different scenarios and struggles that her lovable characters must overcome in order to find happiness. Along the way, witty banter, stellar references, awkward moments, and lots of yearning make for a great read.
