Beyoncé kicked off her Cowboy Carter tour in L.A. and lit the stage on fire....but what's with the public's obsession with her kids? And have y'all seen Sinners yet? We give our take on Ryan Coogler's smash blockbuster movie featuring Michael B. Jordan. Does it live up to the hype?We also talk about Terrence Howard's recent claim that Quincy Jones offered him a role to play Marvin Gaye....we'll just leave that right there. Former President Joe Biden sat down on The View to clear the air about his cognitive ability, his relationship with Kamala Harris, and that debate moment that had folks questioning everything. We also unpack the heated convo around foreign-born Black actors portraying Black-American cultural legends. Are Africans taking over? Is it Art? Erasure? Or something deeper?So, grab your tea, coffee, or draaank, and press play. Don't forget to sound off in the comments and send this one to your crew because everybody needs a sip of this.
Julie Bindel – author of Lesbians: Where Are We Now – is the latest guest on The Brendan O'Neill Show. Julie and Brendan discuss why the Supreme Court's gender ruling is so vital for lesbians, why gay rights and trans rights have nothing in common, and why being a lesbian used to be fun. Order Brendan O'Neill's After the Pogrom now from:
Marsha P. Johnson was a trailblazer in the fight for gay rights. But Johnson's legacy extends beyond her activism: "Marsha was a really full person who lived a vibrant life. She was a muse and model for Andy Warhol," and a performer in New York City and London. In this episode, we talk to activist and author Tourmaline about what we can all learn from Johnson's legacy in times of adversity.Tourmaline's two books about Marsha P. Johnson — Marsha: The Joy and Defiance of Marsha P. Johnson and One Day in June — are out on May 20, 2025.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

In a powerful exposé blending two explosive segments, the story of Kilmar Abrego Garcia—dubbed “Saint Kilmar”—unfolds as a symbol of systemic failure, elite hypocrisy, and political gaslighting. An illegal immigrant tied to MS-13 and flagged on a transnational criminal watch list, Kilmar was stopped in Tennessee under suspicion of human trafficking, only to be released by order of the Biden-era FBI. Despite multiple court rulings identifying him as a mid-level gang member ("Chikayo") involved in violent criminal activity, Democrats and left-wing legal advocates continue to defend and attempt to repatriate him from El Salvador, where he is currently held. Meanwhile, top Democrat figures like Maine AG Aaron Frey and New York AG Letitia James push narratives denying biological concerns in women's sports and face accusations of their own—James with mortgage fraud and stolen valor allegations, Frey echoing state propaganda as he downplays safety issues. Across the board, the narrative reveals a growing rift between public sentiment and elite priorities, with polling showing even deep-blue California voters opposing trans athletes in women's sports and a majority of Americans now supporting mass deportation of illegal immigrants.
We dispense with the niceties this month and discuss an album where we have quite differing opinions. Welcome to Episode 56 of This is Not Happening (TINH), an Album of the Month (AOTM) Podcast. In Part 1 we deep dive into an Album that one of us has chosen and in Part 2 we play 'Spin it or Bin it'. We pick a theme and each pick a song that represents that theme. We judge the selections by asking the question 'Spin It or Bin It'?In Part 1, David, resident 'Pop Being', has the pleasure of presenting an album from one of his genuine musical obsessions. 'Saya' the latest release by Saya Gray.In Part 2, following the theme of 'Saya', break-up and heart-break, we play Spin It or Bin It with the simple theme of 'Heart Break' with no additional rules! ----- Part 1 | Saya Gray | 'Saya' -----To say David is a Saya Gray fan is something of an understatement. He has been championing the strange sounds of Saya for nearly 3 years. Nobody's really sure if this is her debut album or not but that's not important. It is an album and an artist that has divided opinion on the pod. 2 of us love this album, 1 of us doesn't, and 1 of us has had such a busy month at work that we have no idea what they think pre-recording.Regardless of how we feel about this album individually, we all think it's an album that deserves a listen. Listen to the album, listen to the pod, tell us what you think.Listen to the album ... HERE.Watch the World Cafe Podcast / Interview ... HERE.Watch the AMAZING Tiny Desk Performance ... HERE.Watch some 'Visualisers' (music videos!?!) ... HERE.Buy some stuff ... HERE. ----- Part 2 | Spin It or Bin It | 'Heart-Break -----Was music originally created to express heart-break? Probably not but it definitely feels like it when you start looking for your favourite tracks that embrace the subject. We've chosen a track each that may not be what you expect.Guy chose 'A Little Respect' by Erasure. David chose 'Already Dead' by Beck. Joey chose 'It's Not Right, But It's Okay' by Whitney Houston. Nolan chose 'Shiver' by Lucy Rose. Here is a link to our 16 track playlist of religion-inspired tracks - with the first 4 tracks being our picks for this month.We've been writing the blog for years come and have a look - https://thisisnothappening.net/We've been writing the blog for years come and have a look - https://thisisnothappening.net/

The recent removal of information about Black, Indigenous, and female military personnel from the Arlington National Cemetery's website exemplifies how cancel culture intersects with broader societal dynamics, particularly in the context of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Under directives from the Department of Defense, pages highlighting notable veterans, such as Colin Powell, Jackie Roberson and members of the Tuskegee Airmen were deleted. These actions align with executive orders targeting DEI efforts in federal agencies, raising concerns about historical erasure and its implications for marginalized groups. This form of cancel culture—removing or altering narratives—reflects a modern-day example of erasure as a defense mechanism. Psychoanalytic theory offers insights into this phenomenon, particularly through concepts like repression and the “return of the repressed.” Erasure can be seen as a defense against confronting uncomfortable truths about systemic inequities or historical injustices. By eliminating these narratives from public platforms, institutions may unconsciously attempt to suppress collective guilt or discomfort. However, Freud's theory suggests that repressed material often resurfaces in unintended ways, potentially fueling collective anger or demands for accountability. Other psychoanalytic defenses also play a role in cancel culture. Projection involves attributing one's own insecurities or biases onto others, which can manifest in public condemnation of individuals or groups perceived as embodying those traits. Rationalization allows individuals or institutions to justify their actions—such as removing historical content—under the guise of compliance with executive orders or policy changes. Displacement, another mechanism, shifts focus from systemic issues (e.g., structural racism) to surface-level actions like website edits, thereby avoiding deeper engagement with societal problems. Cancel culture extends beyond institutional actions to broader societal trends. Modern examples include public figures like Andrew Cuomo and Chris Brown navigating cancellations and subsequent comebacks. These cases highlight how cancel culture can sometimes lose its potency over time, especially when individuals retain strong support bases. Social media platforms have also relaxed moderation policies, allowing previously banned accounts to return, which reflects shifting attitudes toward cancel practices. Ultimately, understanding cancel culture through psychoanalytic mechanisms reveals its complex interplay between societal norms and individual psychology. Erasure as a defense may temporarily shield institutions from scrutiny but risks perpetuating cycles of repression and backlash. Addressing these dynamics requires fostering empathy and critical dialogue to prevent harmful patterns of exclusion and suppression. Learn more about your ad choices.

Social media platforms have also relaxed moderation policies, allowing previously banned accounts to return, which reflects shifting attitudes toward cancel practices. Ultimately, understanding cancel culture through psychoanalytic mechanisms reveals its complex interplay between societal norms and individual psychology. Erasure as a defense may temporarily shield institutions from scrutiny but risks perpetuating cycles of repression and backlash. Addressing these dynamics requires fostering empathy and critical dialogue to prevent harmful patterns of exclusion and suppression. Learn more about your ad choices.

Chuck Talks About The News!Superglue, Hogwarts, hometown, The SmithsonianAnd Much More On This Episode Of Casually Uncomfortable, News Edition!
What do we get from a good book? With a greater diversity of stories on offer from publishers and as exam set texts, Janine Bradbury looks at the arguments which are made in favour of reading as a way of encouraging empathy and understanding or as a place to find ourselves. She asks whether this is the right way to think about the value of reading and her essay considers examples including Toni Morrison's story Recitatif, Percival Everett's novel Erasure (which became the film American Fiction) and Nella Larsen's 1929 novel Passing, which Rebecca Hall has directed as a film.Janine Bradbury is a New Generation Thinker on the scheme run by the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the BBC to put academic research on radio. She is a senior lecturer in Contemporary Writing and Culture at the University of York, and her first poetry pamphlet Sometimes Real Love Comes Quick & Easy (Ignition Press) was a Poetry Book Society Pamphlet Choice.

This one's a long-time-coming! We finally have our buddy, Cord Jefferson, on the pod. We know Cord from our NY days when he was at Gawker but you might know him from winning an Oscar for adapted screenplay for American Fiction, which he also directed and which was based on Perceival Everett's Erasure. Cord also won an Emmy for writing that really good episode of The Watchmen about the Tulsa Massacre. We talk to him about possibly winning an E-G-O, desert noir, how much of a badass Perceival Everett is and much more.

Alt episode titles : Hegemony, Iniquity, Occlusion Dehumanization, Erasure, Indoctrination We've been here before, we've never left. The place where a z*on*st and a n*zi can exist inside the same washed up, shock jock recycled racist tech magnate bureaucrat, use the quintessential anti-semitic gesture on national television and be defended by the head of a million dollar anti-semitism watchdog org that mostly just targets Black people. Yes, even here: a place where neo n*zis came up short in Lincoln Heights, the first all-Black, self-governing city north of the Mason-Dixon Line, and got ran out, they shit took, their flag burned. Happy Black History, Present, Futures Monf and 365 days of the year in my anita baker voice. Sending you all our tender love no matter where you are, what you are going through, whether it's genuine fear from a place of privilege, comfort from having felt a false sense of safety in the promise of a democractic administration or a delayed reaction to living under a Herrenvolk democracy, join us for the first episode of the year in our attempt to ease the collective anxiety with a little, gentle, reality check and reminder of where you are and more importantly, who you are, from the Federal Act-Rite Administration (with love). "Racism and racially structured discrimination have not been deviations from the norm; they have been the norm"---Charles W. Mills "White supremacy forced white americans into rationalizations so fantastical that they approached the pathological."--James Baldwin Everything's going to be okay.

When you enter the Caribbean Social Club, or Toñita's, it feels like you could be in your grandmother's living room. And that's exactly what its owner, Maria Antonia Cay, —better known as Toñita— was aiming for when she opened the club in the 1970s as a gathering place for the local baseball team. 50 years later, Toñita's is still standing in Los Sures, the south side of Williamsburg—the most gentrified neighborhood in New York City. Yet over the years, Toñita has faced ever greater challenges to keep her club open. In this episode of Latino USA, we follow Toñita through her latest hurdle, a court battle, and we learn about how the Puerto Rican community in Los Sures has kept culture alive.Follow us on TikTok and YouTube.
