The Rich Attend The NBA Finals, America Fumbles the World Cup, and Drag Race Starts a New Bracket

This week, we accidentally become sports commentators. We react to Trump getting booed at the NBA Finals, Taylor Swift’s courtside appearance, and the reality that championship tickets now cost more than many people make in months. Then we dig into the growing controversy surrounding the World Cup, including reports of athletes, referees, and fans facing visa delays, extra screening, and travel restrictions. What’s supposed to be a global celebration starts looking a lot more like a reflection of America’s anxieties, class divisions, and declining reputation on the world stage. We also revisit last week’s AI controversy after producers behind RuPaul’s Drag Race’s latest film reverse course and admit AI was used after all. Then we jump into Drag Race All Stars Bracket 3, breaking down the queens, the sports-themed design challenge, Joey J’s surprise breakout episode, and whether Sam Starr deserved the win. Plus, Southern Charm continues to consume Bobbi’s life, we discuss Disney’s quiet Pride displays, and why sometimes the biggest cultural stories are hiding in plain sight.

The Suspicious Lack of Rainbow-Washing, Protect Dylan Mulvaney, and Rupaul: STOP THAT AI!

This week's episode is arriving a little later than planned thanks to a neighborhood-wide internet outage that reminded us just how dependent we are on the digital gods. But we're back online and ready to complain about the internet, corporations, AI, and reality television—as nature intended. This week, we're talking about Pride Month, corporate allyship, and the suspicious lack of rainbow-washing in 2026. What happens when brands spend years selling Pride merchandise and rainbow logos, only to quietly disappear the moment support becomes politically inconvenient? We unpack the backlash surrounding Pattie Gonia and Patagonia, the rise of what we're calling "rainbow siphoning," and whether corporations ever cared about LGBTQ+ communities beyond their purchasing power. We also discuss the role bots, algorithms, and online narratives may be playing in shaping public opinion—and why the sudden silence from major brands feels impossible to ignore. Then we dive into the darker side of AI, starting with a disturbing AI-generated video targeting Dylan Mulvaney and the broader questions it raises about transphobia, accountability, and who gets protected online. From there, we tackle the growing use of AI in entertainment, including the controversy surrounding RuPaul's new film Stop That Train, whether studios are being honest about their use of AI-generated content, and why "employ artists" remains our official stance. Finally, we lighten things up with RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars, breaking down alliances, makeover challenge drama, star strategy, and the queens making a serious run for the crown.

More Fake Assassinations, Why Ignoring Hasan Piker is a Bad Idea, Stephen Miller’s an Ugly F*ck, and Pattie Gonia vs. Patagonia

This week, we unpack another bizarre “assassination attempt” surrounding Donald Trump, the Freedom 250 concert fallout, and the internet’s collective joy after Stephen Miller got called exactly what many people were already thinking. We also get into why Hasan Piker has become such a target, how influencer politics and dark money are shaping online discourse, and why blindly trusting anyone with a platform is getting more dangerous. Then we spiral into Jeff Bezos’ exploding rocket, CIA and alien conspiracy territory, and the very messy showdown between Pattie Gonia and Patagonia. Plus, we break down whether this “progressive” corporation is punching down at a drag queen climate activist—and, of course, get into the latest episode of Drag Race All Stars, where the queens make how-to videos and dress for the barn.

Jasmine Crockett’s AIPAC Endorsement, Billionaires Deflect on Taxes & Over To Twitch w/ Mamdani.

This week, we’re talking about the bizarre convergence of politics, propaganda, and pop culture exhaustion. We break down Jasmine Crockett, AIPAC influence in U.S. politics, Ireland and Palestine discourse online, celebrity activism, and the growing feeling that the internet is flattening every serious global issue into content. Along the way, we spiral into conspiracy territory with men in masks, military rumors, and why everything lately feels just a little too surreal to dismiss outright. Then we pivot into the chaotic state of influencer culture, James Charles discourse, billionaires trying to buy relatability, and the increasingly blurry line between authenticity and performance online. Plus: our thoughts on this week’s RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars bracket 2 drama, who’s actually thriving in the competition, and why Drag Race continues to deliver the exact level of camp and emotional instability we need right now.

Mamdani’s Balanced Budget, Please Don’t Elect Spencer Pratt, and Could Violence Be The Answer?

This week, we’re talking about what it actually means to build a society around care instead of control. We break down Mamdani’s balanced New York City budget, why grassroots politics are giving people hope again, and what it would look like to invest in communities before harm happens instead of only reacting after the fact. From lobbying and labor rights to hyper-surveillance, burnout, and whether violence is an inevitable part of social change, we ask the question nobody really wants to answer out loud: what happens when asking nicely stops working? Then we dive into the strange world of influencer expertise, Therapy Jeff discourse, fake online credentials, and why social media keeps rewarding charisma over accountability. Plus: why you absolutely should not elect Spencer Pratt, the terrifying normalization of surveillance culture, and of course, our full thoughts on this week’s RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars bracket chaos.
