Hi. The airlines really screwed things up over the holidays and have made flying a generally awful experience for decades. Here's why that is (spoiler alert: capitalism and deregulation) and how we could potentially make it better.

Hi. On today's episode, Katy and Cody discuss ANOTHER former vice president whose home is swarming with classified documents, the recent mass shootings in California, Josh Hawley's unserious attempt to ban stock trading by members of Congress, and the spiraling of the M&M front in the culture war.

2023-01-20 19:29:39 +0000 UTC View PostHi. For Part 2, we look at how The Twitter Files don't show the kind of nefarious intent that Elon Musk hoped they would, and analyze why he bought Twitter in the first place (other than being forced to).

Hi. Elon Musk was forced to buy Twitter a few months ago. Despite his claims of being a "free speech absolutist," his actions since buying Twitter show that he's a liar and hypocrite who readily censors speech that doesn't personally benefit him.

Hi everyone! This week's EMN is a modified version of the Holiday EMQs episode you may have already listened to a few weeks ago. This one has an alternate ending and doesn't feature Cody's holiday song about pets – that ditty is just for you all.

Hi. Cristen Conger (@CristenConger), host of the Unladylike podcast, joins Katy and Cody to talk about the Respect For Marriage Act, the newly-uncovered text messages from Republican representatives about the 2020 election, the redpilling of Elon Musk, and the fusion breakthrough that's a legitimate piece of some good science news.
Also: There was an issue with Katy's audio this week, so we had to use her audio from the Zoom recording. It's a little lower quality than usual, so thank yo...

Hi. Those Republicans sure are hypocritical, aren't they? In this episode, we take a look at some of the many things they are hypocritical about, and analyze what that says about who they are and what they really believe.
Note: During a brief discussion of Gamergate in this video, we accidentally used the wrong pronouns to refer to Zoë Quinn, who uses they/them pronouns.

Hi. Fascism has been on our minds lately and it looks like it's been on Ben Shapiro's as well. But, in looking through Shapiro's writing, he seems pretty confused about what fascism is, who is promoting it, when he doesn't like it, and when he totally does.

Hi. On today's episode, Some More News director Will Gordh (@will_gordh) joins Katy and Cody to talk about the right's disgusting reaction to the Club Q shooting, Ye's budding friendship with a white supremacist, the pair's dinner with Donald Trump, the Biden administration's efforts to force rail workers to accept a contract they had rejected, and, of course, Elon Musk's brief feud with Apple.
2022-12-02 18:58:59 +0000 UTC View PostHi. In today's episode, we look at the similar patterns followed by nearly all moral panics, whether they're about teenagers eating Tide Pods or nonsense stories about litter boxes in school restrooms. These moral panics may seem silly, but they have very real and dangerous consequences for marginalized groups.

Hello Patrons! You know that thing where it's very expensive to be poor?
We're interested in hearing about your experiences with that phenomenon. Had to buy the cheap boots that wear out in three months instead of the expensive boots that last five years? Unfair overdraft fees? Had no control over your retail work schedule and thus had to spend more money on child care?
If you're comfortable sharing, please detail (in under 75 words please!) your experience in the comments on this...

Hi. In today's episode, we look at how Hungary turned swiftly from a representative democracy into Viktor Orbán's autocratic regime, and how it is absolutely not at all in any way similar to what is currently happening in the United States. Except for, like, all the specific details.
