The assault on Pride
June is here and with it Pride Month, which should and will be a month of celebration.

Dominion makes FOX pay
Like everyone else out there, we wanted to see FOX News get taken to the cleaners in court but we had to settle for, well, a settlement. Now, it's a hefty price to pay, but it sure would have been nice to see them sweat.

Michelangelo's 'David' vs. Florida
So Florida has a problem with one of the most famous sculptures in history, despite the fact it's a masterpiece steeped in religion. Now a principal is out of a job and a bunch of sixth graders are probably confused over how any of this is a big deal.

RIP SVB
This episode took longer than usual to pull together ... heck, one of the biggest banks in the U.S. collapsed in less time. Sorry about the delay, but I'm sure "woke" is somehow to blame.

FOX News v. Dominion
Everyone's favorite fake news outlet looks like it could be in for a hefty payout over its 2020 election coverage. Let's hope so. Plus some thoughts on an ugly CPAC.

The Scott Adams Situation
So the creator of a comic strip nobody cares about went and got himself canceled last week. Scott Adams is still trying to post through it, but it's not going well. Or it's going exactly as he hoped and the racism grift pays off. We'll find out soon enough.

Angst life grand?
We're boiling this show down to its essence: Two Gen Xers embracing their angsty stereotype and talking about what's bringing them down. Like the news these days gives us any choice.
