I laughed at blowing out justin beaver back.
 
Given the pager incident, here's an intro song suggestion

 
@Null Josh, last show you said you'd watch this ...from 2:12:22 to 2:15:45 for $30, and then didn't.
Please watch, and tell us - in your hyper-competent genius’s expert opinion - if the witness's explanation makes sense or not.

Since next week is "Banned Books" week, I'd like to show y'all how bookstores have been handling it all.
It's always worth noting that this "banned books" shit is a massive grift. When they count how often a book is "banned," they include every time a "challenge" is brought towards the book as an additional "ban." Those "challenges" could be as simple as "this book shouldn't be in the elementary school library because it's for high school students," and even if that "challenge" fails then that still counts as one "ban" when they count these things.

It leads to insane examples: A book is genuinely misplaced into an elementary school library, and it gets "challenged" and the parents/librarians all agree it shouldn't be in the elementary school library? Congratulations, that still counts as a "book ban." It's all bullshit. Here's a great video that tears this apart in more detail with better examples, including a book that the author repeatedly iterates is not for children, but librarians keep insisting should be in elementary and middle school libraries:


They pretend that conservative Republicans are storming the public libraries and hauling away anything LGBTQIAPZ+ related when it's mostly parents asking why their elementary school library has copies of To Kill a Mockingbird.
 
I was watching the India Menace stream archive on youtube. Theres this blurred out section that I can only assume is an attempted gangrape of a white woman who travelled to India? I had no idea what I was listening to, but it was terrifying, and I couldn’t find any information from using the search function.
 
Scientific American has endorsed a candidate for President for the second time in its 179 year history.

Their first endorsement was for Joe Biden, also made under editor Laura Helmuth (who took over in 2020). During their long history they have had contributions from great men of science like Tesla and Einstein while remaining out of politics, but it is now super important that they endorse whoever is not Trump. I don't think they'll make it to 200 years somehow.

Helmuth. That's a German name, right? I wonder what kind of German.
 
Why do you own a funko pop?
It seemed fitting that PC Principal be a guardian of the Taboo Bookshelf with Professor Chaos and Richard Nixon. The pop version was the first one I saw when I was taking the trash out at work.

Anyone of these you really like and recommend?

EDIT: Don't you dare recommend Fat's books. I see them down there.
The Rational Male books are really funny. I have a copy of the Mother Jones issue where they talked about the Farms and Josh which is an interesting read just because it's like, 2 years later and it's aged like milk. The Ted K. books are also a good read.
