It's another block that's taken a surprisingly long time to get to, given everyone's favorite positivity alien has one of the quickest block fingers online, but Katherine Krueger (writer/editor) joins us to talk about her very early days of Twitter, highlighted by a block from Jomny/Jonny/Jobny Sun/Sum/Sudn. After meditating on it, Katherine comes away feeling fine, and we finally get to read the slew of listener blocks we have from Jonny as well. The Blocked Boys also dive into the world of Cameo on main (it's the horny on main equivalent for us), the animal tweet going around this week, childhood trauma songs, Stefan's back on Twitter, baby! and we get a glimpse into what gets Tori Amos going. If you really wanna get going, you can donate to our Patreon at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you so much good stuff. Three bonus episodes every month. Access to our super-secret, super-awesome Discord server. And our undying love. Hell, you could donate $8 and get the bonus episodes PLUS our newsletters, which are going to go up to FIVE editions per month in August as we start our new feature: The Guest Letter, where we get some of our favourite freelance friends to write for us. Becca, John's girlfriend, made her Guest Letter debut this past week and it was fantastic. We've also got our most recent Hell Block with fan fave Adam Christie live now, and if going Cameo on main wasn't enough for you, we've got another all-Cameo bonus episode coming out this week with the sweet boys Brandon Wardell and Jack Wagner from the Yeah, But Still podcast. It's been a great month, and we have even more good stuff planned for August, so head on over to Patreon right now and subscribe. Katherine Krueger is the features editor at Elle.com and she is currently working and writing with the former Splinter crew over at discourse.blog, a lefty newsletter about news and culture.

The blue urine trickle has swept our nation, but we have yet to see whether it’s up to the challenge posed by right wing internet-obsessed terrorists. Jeff Sessions has been ignominiously forced to resign, and we’re celebrating while many liberals are bizarrely distressed by this news and have taken to the streets to voice their concern. In the tech world, MAGA chuds have been forced into the darkest reaches of social media: LinkedIn. Cars are making the hard decisions, like whether a large woman deserves to die in an accident more than a criminal or a dog. In pop culture we’re discussing the golden stream of two awful online shows, Pod Save America and Making A Murderer season 2. We’re also discussing death metal and a pair of books that will make you want to die: Jill Solloway’s She Wants It, and Jomny Sun and Lin Manuel Miranda’s G’Morning G’Night. Dan closes us out with a classic yet portentous tale of 2011.

I don't remember how or when I stumbled upon this week's podcast guest Adam J. Kurtz. I feel like he has been in my internet world for years. His work is is honest, useful, and unique while still being relatable and inclusive. When I met him in person to record this episode on a sleepy winter Monday evening at his cozy Brooklyn apartment he shares with his husband, I was delighted to find out he was as great in real life as he seems on the internet. I could have spoken to him for hours but in this conversation we spoke about social media, moving to New York, his meandering career of both full time and freelance work, community, art, being yourself in your work, marriage, success, self-help, and more.

Our Best of 2017 series continues with a special little graphic novel, "Everyone's a Aliebn When Ur a Aliebn Too: A Book by Jomny Sun" by Jonny Sun. An alien is left on Earth to research and study humans but ends up cataloging his interactions with all kinds of animals in the natural world. We dive into the metaphor of the book, the philosophical sampling going on, and talk about where to place this work in our brain space. Is this a comic or a philosophy book?
