On March 16, 2022, the Russian army committed one of the gravest war crimes of its invasion of Ukraine. It dropped air bombs on the Mariupol Drama Theatre, knowing that around a thousand civilians were sheltering inside, seeking refuge from Russian shelling. It did so despite the huge inscriptions reading “Children” — written in Russian on both sides of the theatre — clearly visible from the air as a warning to any potential bomber. In this episode, we analyse this crime with the help of a journalist who spent several years speaking with dozens of survivors.

Scientists in Australia just discovered a huge Megaraptor, and it's a total game-changer. This dinosaur had massive claws and was way bigger than anyone thought lived there during that time. Before, most people believed Australia didn't have giant predatory dinosaurs like the ones found in other parts of the world. But this Megaraptor proves that ferocious, massive hunters were roaming the ancient Aussie landscape too. It also hints that Australia's dinosaur history is way more connected to South America and Antarctica than we realized. Basically, everything we thought we knew about dinosaurs Down Under just got flipped!

Author Jared Yates Sexton joins us for a discussion of the concept of "toxic masculinity" and how it's destroying American culture and politics in the age of Trump and Roseanne. We delve into a lot of issues, as this is one of our longest interviews yet, starting with a long discussion of the "Roseanne" reboot and how Jared got into a Twitter fight with the eponymous star after he criticized the show for whitewashing Trump's racism. That takes us into a larger conversation about Jared's theory of "the knot" that plagues much of America -- as Jared puts it: "The idea that over time, all of our problems become interconnected [like one big knot]. And you don’t even know where to start, there’s no idea of which strand to start tugging. It’s gender, it’s race, economics, world views, money and politics." That leads us into a discussion of: Trump's election; Obama's re-election in 2012 and whether a black man winning the presidency was an aberration or a sign of hope; Jared's take on the "Alt Right"; and then a rather interesting discussion of whether the Internet has been a force for good or bad (Jared thinks more bad than good). Jared also talks about his most recent book, "The People Are Going to Rise Like the Waters Upon Your Shore: A Story of American Rage," and its themes permeate the entire podcast discussion. And finally, we close with Jared telling us a hilarious anecdote about his rural Indiana mom and the stray chicken she just adopted. Overall, one of my favorite episodes. I hope you enjoy.
