September 3 in NYC at 6 pm, I'll be in conversation with Lionel live at The Village Underground. Tix available here. Use promo code CATASTROPHE18 at checkout for a discount. Bestselling novelist and beloved (and occasionally be-hated) columnist Lionel Shriver returns to the podcast to talk about several topics, including her most recent novel, Mania. In that novel, she imagines a society under the grip of “mental parity,” a concept arguing that all individuals possess equal intelligence and no one should be given greater credence or responsibility because of the perception that they are smarter. We also discuss our own intelligence (are we really all that smart?) and wonder what makes us so resistant to groupthink in politics and daily life, especially around movements like #MeToo, Black Lives Matter, and gender ideology. In search of a lighter topic, we finally move on to . . . immigration. (Oops.) As a Los Angeles resident, I've been alarmed by the ICE raids in my community, and I'm quite upset about the Trump administration's policies. As a longtime expatriate in the U.K. and as the author of a forthcoming novel about immigration (A Better Life, coming in February 2026), Lionel sees things a little differently. GUEST BIO A prolific journalist with a fortnightly column in Britain's The Spectator, Lionel Shriver has written widely for the New York Times, the London Times, the Financial Times, Harper's Magazine, and many other publications. Her first nonfiction book, ABOMINATIONS: Selected Essays from a Career of Courting Self-destruction, was published in 2022. It joins a story collection and fifteen novels, including Mania, Should We Stay or Should We Go, The Mandibles, and We Need to Talk About Kevin (a 2011 film starring Tilda Swinton). Her work has been translated into 35 languages. Her latest novel A Better Life, focused on immigration, will be out in early 2026. UPCOMING EVENT: Once again, if you enjoyed this interview, join me in NYC on September 3 at The Village Underground for a conversation with Lionel about The Catastrophe Hour as well as her work. Topics will include (but are not limited to) death, sex, real estate, dogs, beauty, grief, aging, cancelation, incels, femcels, self-destruction, natural disasters, pronatalism, anti-natalism, human intelligence, and cultural stupidity. Doors open at 5:15, show starts at 6pm. Tix available here. Use promo code CATASTROPHE18 at checkout for a discount. HOUSEKEEPING

In the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandals and subsequent #MeToo and Time's Up movements, Ita O'Brien introduced the "Intimacy On Set Guidelines".

2025's strangest scandal involves facts that have been known for years and absolutely no new information. And yet it has managed to keep consummate bullshitter Donald Trump seemingly flatfooted. In this episode, Patrick Blanchfield (co-host of Ordinary Unhappiness) joins Moira and Adrian to talk Epstein, the files, the coverup, Trump and the return of the not-at-all repressed. The conversation touches on the gender politics of revelation, conspiracies real and imagined, blood libel, and the long shadow of #MeToo. Lots and lots of trigger warnings obviously!

In their 10-year coup to spy on, discredit, impeach, and unseat the twice-elected President of the United States, Donald Trump, the Democrats have only made him stronger and more resilient.As Chris Matthews explains:By contrast, they've emerged from all of this as wild-eyed Doomsday preppers who have finally gone full Pizzagate, scraping the bottom of the barrel to chase a scandal that was never theirs to begin with, and one they never cared about until right now.Will there ever be any accountability for what they've done in their attempts to override American Democracy, disenfranchise half the country, and preserve their power?Will they ever confront the truth that Americans were so desperate to be rid of them, they were willing to re-elect the twice-impeached, four times indicted, convicted felon? Who would want them in charge? They have no plan, no optimistic vision, and no solutions.They have only one thing: an ongoing mass delusion that Trump is the ultimate evil. It is that delusion that has driven the hysteria that has led to the collapse of their empire. They just haven't figured it out yet. They lurch from one social media fantasy to another, all about Trump. And each time, it takes them deeper into their delusions as they lose all of their power.If sex is involved, whether it's an imaginary trip on the Lolita Express to Epstein Island or paid Russian prostitues defiling him on the bed the Obamas slept in, or his night with Stormy Daniels, his dressing room encounter with E. Jean Caroll, these insane, repressed, puritanical women who define the typical Democrat now can't seem to get enough.Give us more, their clicks and views say. We're bored. We need salacious details, no matter how ludicrous, contradictory, or implausible they may be. We need an injection of something other than the mind-numbing boredom of a monoculture that has become so sanitized and preordained that even Lifetime movies can no longer do the trick. Trump is their dirty little secret, the forbidden fruit, the dance with the Devil.The first version of Trump sold to us was that he was a raging racist because of the Obama birther story and other myths that helped create an existential crisis that required a “hearts and minds” effort to eradicate:That version led to violent attacks against Trump supporters in 2015.The next version was that he wasn't a playboy from the 1980s who could get any woman he wanted; no, he was a “rapist” thanks to the Access Hollywood tape and the multiple women who came forward to tell their stories, none of them believable.That led to the #MeToo movement, where due process and the presumption of innocence were disregarded, as once accused, forever guilty. You weren't accused of something; you were accused of being something. It was inside of you, spectral evidence, just like the witch trials in Salem. Every time someone was canceled in effigy of Trump, just as the hangings in Salem, it was a celebration for another battle won against an ultimate evil.One version of Trump made it all the way into the highest reaches of government. Imagine, a failed attempt to paint Trump as colluding with the Russians to win an election fell short, so they had to spin a yarn that the racist and rapist was also a Russian asset, compromised by kompromat.I believed it! I'd already bought the books on Putin in late 2016, how could it not be true? Rachel Maddow had told me night after night after night, laying it all out in painstaking detail. Here she is in June of 2016 dropping those breadcrumbs. Of course, I believed it because I believed her. I trusted her. I trusted them. They wouldn't lie to me, would they?The Clinton campaign even said so. They proved it with the changes made to the GOP platform to please Putin. That had to be true, right?No, it turns out. It wasn't true—none of it. Not only that, but it involved Barack Obama and his henchmen. If the lie that Trump was a Putin puppet resulted in Hillary's win, great. But what if she lost? Why not push out the lie anyway? Why not hobble Trump at the outset?Why not make him illegitimate just as he once suggested Obama's birth certificate was? Who wouldn't go along with it? We were all conditioned to follow the breadcrumbs and believe whatever they told us about Trump, so why wouldn't we believe this?It turned out to be a convenient pivot. It didn't have to be that Hillary Clinton was a high-risk candidate with more baggage than the Kardashians on a ski trip to Aspen. She was “likable enough,”up against a once-in-a-generation political talent like Trump.It didn't need to be the Clinton campaign's decision to focus on Georgia rather than Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. After all, the New York Times said she couldn't lose.Someone as powerful as Obama, a man we all treated like a god, could not lose to Donald Trump. He couldn't have stood on stage with Katy Perry and Bruce Springsteen and had an election go that badly. None of them could stand it, not in the FBI, not in the legacy media, not any of us.No, it had to be Putin.In reality, it was actually much less complicated. It was a one-in-a-million strategy laid out by Steve Bannon way back in 2012:They had to manufacture the Russiagate story because they couldn't face the ugly truth about what they had become, how they'd abandoned the rest of this country and insulated themselves in their castle in the sky. By the end, they were no different from other upended aristocracies when the people had had enough.This is not a complicated story if you are living in reality. The 2016 election recalled the infamous quote about the lavish ball held in honor of the 290th anniversary of the House of the Romanovs held in the Winter Palace, Saint Petersburg. But it was a moment that would symbolize the empire's ultimate collapse.While Democrats now have to fend off their own Communist uprising, 2016 wasn't one. It was the populists, a genuine grassroots movement that reflected the voice of a country that was sick of an elite ruling class lecturing them about how to speak, how to live, and what to believe in. Sneering at them. Judging them. Shutting them out.And yet, that couldn't be the reason Trump won. It couldn't be the people who made that decision. The people never decide, at least not when it comes to President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. They live by another quote, one from Citizen Kane:“People will think…””What I tell them to think.”The Russiagate lie was pushed through the feedback loop —a self-contained bubble that went from morning news, through the churn of social media, to legacy media headlines, up to cable news and late-night “comedy.”Those who questioned it, such as Matt Taibbi, Walter Kirn, and Aaron Mate, saw their careers evaporate, and their friends turned against them.Even after the entire thing was exposed and condemned in the Columbia Journalism Review, it hasn't made its way into the bubble. Everyone I know on the Left still believes it. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit www.sashastone.com/subscribe

Patricia Douglas was a young dancer and an extra working in Hollywood during its so-called Golden Era when she was tricked into attending a party Tinseltown's most powerful studio, MGM, was throwing for the salesmen who were making it rich on May 5th, 1937. At this party, she was dragged into the parking lot and brutally raped by one on of those salesmen. The studio would bury her assault... but decades later her truth would finally come to light and help lead to much needed change in the movie industry.  For Merch and everything else Bad Magic related, head to: https://www.badmagicproductions.com

Journalist Honor Jones discusses her debut novel, Sleep, which explores the #MeToo movement from childhood to the newsroom through a unique fictional lens.Honor Jones's debut novel, Sleep, opens in the heat of a seemingly idyllic summer childhood, where ten-year-old Margaret navigates unspoken secrets within her home. But as the years unfold, the story quietly traces how early moments of confusion ripple forward into Margaret's adult life, particularly as she covers the Weinstein trial as a journalist. With a clear-eyed and unsettling voice, Sleep becomes a meditation on what women bury, what they minimize, and what begins to surface when the cultural tide shifts.In this intriguing conversation, Honor and I discuss:How journalism shaped her approach to fiction: Honor reflects on the transition from shaping others' stories to crafting her own and how editing longform narratives influenced her writing style.Writing a woman who can believe others but not herself: Margaret is a woman who has built a career amplifying the voices of survivors, yet has never fully named her own story. Honor explores how Margaret reconciles the gap between public belief and private suppression, and how the novel plays with what we notice versus what we choose not to see.Portraying the unspoken conversations around #MeToo: From the charged stillness of newsroom dynamics to a dinner party scene, Honor unpacks how people speak around harm instead of through it. We explore her decision to include moments of discomfort and how those honest tensions reflect the real ways people deal with trauma.

La première fois qu'un partenaire a demandé à Julie ce qu'elle voulait, ce qu'elle aimait, pendant un rapport sexuel, elle avait 22 ans et était sexuellement active depuis six ans. On était en 2019, soit deux ans après l'avènement de MeToo, faisant suite à l'affaire Harvey Weinstein.Grâce à ce partenaire et à un tout un écosystème de contenus féministes et de témoignages sur la sexualité qui ont éclos pendant cette période, Julie a questionné son rapport au consentement et a appris à devenir actrice de sa sexualité.

In part one of our investigations double episode, we unpack the technical and legal dimensions of workplace investigations, with a spotlight on whistleblowing. Together, Tony Wood and Lucy Boyd explore how clients can navigate the complexities of internal complaints, regulatory obligations and reputational risks. They spend time discussing the overall trend towards greater transparency, for example through positive duty obligations and shareholder activism, and how this is reshaping how organisations respond to complaints and how they conduct investigations. Listeners will gain insights into: • The importance of respecting whistleblower confidentiality and engaging with disclosures constructively. • How to structure investigations to ensure procedural fairness and legal compliance. • Common pitfalls in managing investigations and how to avoid them. • The evolving landscape of workplace activism, including the influence of movements like #MeToo and Black Lives Matter, and how the growing emphasis on psychosocial safety has empowered employees to speak up about misconduct. Whether you're an HR professional, in-house counsel, or business leader, this episode offers practical guidance and strategic insights to help you stay ahead in a rapidly changing compliance environment. Stay tuned for part 2 (available next week) where we speak with Lisa Bradley, a veteran workplace investigator, about her insights on how to conduct an effective investigation, including some of her key tips and traps and how to make factual findings when confronted by conflicting witness evidence.

Keith Martin-Smith explores the contemporary crisis of masculinity through an Integral lens, challenging reductive narratives and inviting a richer, more multidimensional understanding of what it means to be a man in today's world. Drawing on decades of men's work, leadership coaching, and deep spiritual practice, Keith begins by naming a cultural paradox: while nearly everyone can define toxic masculinity, few can describe what healthy masculinity actually looks like. He traces this confusion to the collapse of traditional masculine scripts—stoicism, sacrifice, emotional coolness—that no longer resonate in a post-MeToo, pluralistic society. At the same time, newer ideals often leave men feeling neutered, ashamed, or adrift, with many retreating from relationships or quietly imploding under the weight of conflicting expectations. Rather than offering yet another rigid definition, Keith argues for a more integrative, developmental approach. He critiques David Deida's popular three-stage model of masculinity—macho, nice guy, spiritual superhero—as overly idealized and psychologically naive, particularly in its neglect of trauma, shadow, and real-world complexity. Instead, Keith proposes that we recognize at least four major cultural expressions of masculinity, each with their healthy potentials and toxic distortions: Power-Based (Red) – Embodied presence, courage, and command; but prone to narcissism, domination, and emotional detachment. Traditional (Amber) – Duty, stoicism, service, and loyalty; but often repressive, rigid, and emotionally inaccessible. Modern (Orange) – Autonomy, achievement, innovation, and rational mastery; but risks burnout, detachment, and status addiction. Pluralistic (Green) – Emotional fluency, empathy, cultural humility, and relational depth; but susceptible to self-erasure, performative empathy, and ideological coercion. Rather than pitting these stages against each other, Keith calls for an integration of all four, turning masculinity from a fixed identity into a responsive, embodied capacity. A healthy man, he argues, learns to inhabit any of these modes depending on what the moment calls for—whether it's the fierce protection of the Red warrior, the principled resolve of the Traditionalist, the clarity and execution of the Modernist, or the open-hearted presence of the Pluralist. He further warns that every level of masculinity can become domineering when it loses connection to service and heart. Whether through brute force, righteous tradition, technocratic elitism, or virtue-based moralism, each mode carries a potential for shadow—especially when weaponized in the name of power or purity. Keith closes with a spiritual invitation: that no identity—masculine, feminine, cultural, psychological—is ultimately who we are. Lasting transformation arises not from performing better roles, but from anchoring ourselves in something deeper than the constructed self. Through spiritual practice, disciplined shadow work, and developmental integration, men can begin to shed limiting scripts and show up as whole, multidimensional human beings. Not by abandoning the masculine—but by rediscovering it as an evolving, relational, and embodied art.

Boys today are being told to man up by the right and sit down by the left. Coming of age in the shadow of #MeToo and wading through algorithms rife with manosphere content, many young men are accepting the far right's simple answers and leaning into traditional masculinity…without realizing it's stunting their emotional development. Others are letting technology isolate and depress them. What is it about boys' psychology that makes them so vulnerable to the Internet Age? How does patriarchy lead well-intentioned parents to treat their sons less affectionately? When will men have a liberation movement—and do they deserve one? Ruth Whippman, author of BoyMom, sits down with BoyDad Jon to unpack it all.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

Esther Perel. Si vous vous intéressez aux relations humaines, vous la connaissez forcément. Elle est thérapeute de couple, conférencière, et ses deux livres – L'intelligence érotique et Aimer, je t'aime, je te trompe – sont devenus des références. Son podcast, ses TED Talks (vus plus de 21 millions de fois !) et sa capacité à parler de l'amour avec une intelligence rare font d'elle une voix incontournable. Nous nous connaissons d'ailleurs depuis quelques années, et c'est toujours un plaisir immense d'échanger avec elle.Dans cet épisode, j'ai voulu comprendre comment nos relations évoluent à l'ère du digital et surtout pourquoi elles semblent à la fois plus libres et plus complexes. Esther pose un regard lucide et parfois dérangeant : nous avons plus de choix que jamais, mais nous nous sentons plus seuls que jamais.J'ai questionné Esther sur les grands paradoxes modernes :Comment concilier le désir d'autonomie avec celui d'appartenance ?Pourquoi demandons-nous aujourd'hui à une seule personne tout ce qu'une communauté entière nous apportait autrefois ?Le concept d'âme sœur est-il un mythe qui nous rend malheureux ?Comment le sexe, passé de reproductif à récréatif, redéfinit notre rapport à la fidélité ?Et surtout, quel est l'impact du digital – sites de rencontre, smartphones omniprésents – sur notre capacité à être réellement présents à l'autre ?Esther va loin : elle parle de la transformation du couple, devenu un projet basé sur le bonheur individuel plutôt qu'un contrat économique, et de l'immense pression qui en découle. Elle revient aussi sur la question de la masculinité à l'ère du MeToo, expliquant pourquoi les hommes doivent eux aussi réinventer leur rapport à la vulnérabilité.C'est un échange passionnant, parfois philosophique, toujours concret.

It was a story that moved like wildfire and showed no signs of slowing down. The more Hillary Clinton denied it, downplayed it, and attempted to pivot away from it, the more it was just too salacious to leave alone. And so it will go with the Epstein Files. The Epstein Files are giving me flashbacks. I find myself, as a former “vote blue no matter who” Democrat, wanting to say, Are you all insane? Chasing this non-story when Trump's presidency is at an all-time high? Don't you know what this will do? Don't you know how long the Democrats have been waiting for something like this to finally end MAGA and destroy Trump?The Democrats have been given a gift. They didn't have to lift a finger. MAGA did it all on their own. Trump is stuck in an impossible situation. He can release the so-called “files,” which probably amount to a lot of names, perhaps some being blackmailed, but no crimes, no convictions, just an angry mob with pitchforks and a story that will never die.In the post-Me Too America, it is once accused, forever guilty. There is no such thing as due process or the presumption of innocence. Releasing those names with no real crimes attached will ruin their lives. This is class warfare via social media mobs. It's the heads of the wealthy elites they want. They care less about how they get them. On the one hand, no president should talk to the people or his supporters like that. After all, his own son, Don Jr. was out there just as caught up in The Epstein Files as everyone else. But Trump wasn't. He didn't campaign on it and never talked about it at rallies. On the other hand, Trump deserved some credit for his monumental last couple of weeks, not to mention having been shot in the head just one year ago. How many of his supporters actually care about this if he never campaigned on it?The Democrats aren't quite celebrating but I can tell, as a former Democrat, that they know a good thing when they see it, just as the Trump side knew the Hillary Clinton email story was a winner to eat up oxygen, drive the media narrative even if, in the end, it came to nothing more than salacious gossip. “But her Emails” was meant to convey the ironic message that the email story was more important than our impending climate apocalypse. For me, that was the crisis, and thus, everything else had to be put aside.I find myself now looking at “Gender Affirming Care” and feeling like this is the crisis that demands everyone put everything aside for, even if I know it won't play out like that because I remember how nothing could slow down the email story and nothing could help Hillary Clinton win, no amount of fear or threats could change people's minds about their vote.Trump isn't heading into an election, but the Democrats want their power back, and they don't think they should have to do anything for it except attack Trump. And attack they will. MSNBC posting on TikTok from Turning Point:Nothing will slow it down because influencers on the Right are less invested in electing candidates and stopping them, and more invested in being the anti-establishment voices that draw the clicks and views.Now that they sloppily affixed the whole scandal to Israel, they have the “Free Palestine” crowd driving up their traffic and making them money. Why would they stop now? Burn it all down, who cares? They are Watergating themselves.Years ago, when I was a Democrat making this same argument about Bernie Sanders and his challenge to the Clinton presidency, I would say they're ratf*cking themselves. They are doing what the opposition would do to fracture and break up a coalition, thereby guaranteeing Hillary's loss, which is partly how I won $100 by predicting Trump would win.However, I later felt bad about that. That's not Democracy. Let Bernie run, let him build a movement, let the chips fall where they may, and I still believe that. But man, it's hard to watch this go down and not think, Are you seriously going to throw it all away on this? But this isn't the first time these so-called MAGA influencers have been busting up the coalition. From the Tariffs to the bombing of Iran to the One Big Beautiful Bill, it seems not a week goes by that I'm not out there on X sounding like Han Solo in Star Wars begging the Millennium Falcon, “Can you hear me, baby, hold together?”I understand MAGA is not a cult. I learned that when I watched them boo Trump for asking them to take the vaccine. No self-respecting cult leader would allow for that. Do you think Jim Jones would have allowed any one of his members to say, “That's okay - I don't need to drink the Flavor-Aid, I'm good.” I also know that the Epstein story runs deep within the movement and that they all believed Trump would release the files and the truth would come out. But the truth was something they had already decided before it was found in evidence, and now they're left feeling angry and betrayed. To make matters worse, Trump's messaging seems to indicate that something is in that file that would be damaging to him; otherwise, he would not keep saying it's a hoax by the same people who cooked up Russiagate, etc.Michael Wolff is out there talking about seeing photos of Trump with Epstein:Here is Victor Davis Hanson telling Glenn Beck he thinks Epstein was blackmailing influential people with photos just like that, which would then force them to invest in his properties, making him very rich. You don't have to be a genius here to put two and two together.Meanwhile, Alan Dershowitz notes that the Democrats are weaponizing the story, as they would, of course. Turnabout is fair play.A Legacy Press that Became PropagandaI understand why journalists like Megyn Kelly and others don't want to be CNN for Trump 2.0 and thus, will chase the story regardless of their own personal preference for political leadership. I get that. They have to be a trusted voice because once they lose that, they're done. She has never backed off of a story, no matter who it might hurt politically. It should not have been the media's job to pivot away from the email story to help one candidate win the election, but that was the message they took from 2016. They felt overwhelming guilt for helping to elect a “fascist,” and from then on, would never hold a single Democrat to account for anything. That decision would doom the Democrats to an even greater fate, nothing less than the rise and fall of a once-mighty empire.MAGA isn't an empire, but it is the rare grassroots populist movement that, for once, put the working class at the front of the line and, for once, beat the administrative state and the deep pockets of the lobbyists. Winning was practically a miracle. The whole thing seemed to be held together by duct tape, glue, and a lot of hard-working people who wanted to make change and did so by organizing, with their small donations and, yes, with Trump—a once-in-a-generation political talent who could withstand almost anything.Almost anything.So you can understand Trump's frustration now that he's just seen the best two weeks of his or any presidency in my lifetime, and those who are now fueling another “But her emails” story aren't the legacy media at all, but his own base.But if it's a pedophile ring they're waiting to see exposed, they will be disappointed. For one thing, none of the alleged thousands of child victims have come forward in this, the era of Me Too, where they could be famous and rich overnight for doing so?They could be hugely popular on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, telling their story, blowing the case wide open. They would be all over social media by now. But all we really have are women, some of them underage at the time, suing for massive payouts. All this will do ultimately is put power back in the hands of the worst people imaginable, people who don't think children can consent to sex crimes but have no problem talking them into slicing off body parts and sterilizing them.It will be power back to the people who want to open the border and who think booing JD Vance at Disneyland is the right thing to do. The Left used to be the side that didn't care about married men cavorting on an island with barely legal sex workers. How could we, with Bill Clinton ogling Monica Lewinsky while she snapped her thong in front of him? No, we had no choice but to excuse his peccadillos. We wanted to win, hold power, and change the world. That mattered so much more than who Bill Clinton was having sex with this week. But the Right, they've been consistent where infidelity and sex were concerned. They were Me Too before we were Me Too. That's why they defended those who accused Bill Clinton of rape and harassment. They traded all of that for a chance to win with Trump, too. The Epstein case, however, because it looms so large in their collective imaginations, might be what the Democrats hope for: that moment when Trump's whole coalition implodes. It runs so deep with so many of them that it defines everything they are and everything they believe. You might as well ask them to give up religion. Who knows, maybe they'll get lucky and the whole thing will magically appear. Bill Gates, Bill Clinton - all of those rich and powerful elites caught as part of a massive pedophile ring that leaves Pizzagate in the dust. Or not. The thing about conspiracy theories, as everyone knows, is that the more people you have to add to them, the less likely they are to be true. Dr Grande explains how the very thing that made Trump popular might be the very thing that brings him down.No, this is only the beginning, and everyone knows it. The Left knows it most of all, and if you can't see that now, someday you will. Someday, you will be saying, “But the Epstein Files.” This is a public episode.

Hosted by Burning Bright and Chris Paul, this episode revisits David Fincher's 2011 film The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo with fresh eyes and hard questions. The hosts break down the film's grim narrative of elite depravity, ritualistic abuse, and generational corruption, connecting it to real-world stories like Epstein, media psyops, and the weaponization of sexual crimes for cultural engineering. They examine how the film's bleak view of masculinity, its heavy-handed depiction of Nazis, and its graphic scenes of violence and assault blurred the line between storytelling and exploitation. Alongside reflections on Hollywood's complicity and the rise of the “strong female lead” archetype, the conversation veers into how narratives were shaped to seed public demoralization and prime the MeToo era. The hosts also debate whether such stories are cautionary tales or deliberate attempts to normalize the monstrous. As the discussion moves from film critique to cultural analysis, the episode offers a deeper look at how popular media can shape, distort, or reveal uncomfortable truths about the powerful.

Earlier this month, Sean “Diddy” Combs was acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering after a high-profile federal trial. The acquittals show how high profile men accused of sexual abuse and wrongdoing still often escape justice. Already the outcome is being co-opted by the far right and manosphere spaces who are spinning it as proof that movements like #MeToo are overreaching. Today we're talking about why the Diddy case was a pivotal moment online and why celebrity trials like this do matter in the political sphere now. To break it all down I brought on Caroline Kwan, a prolific Twitch streamer who covers pop culture and political news, and Kat Tenbarge, a phenomenal independent journalist.***** Buy a subscription to my Tech and Online Culture newsletter, User Magazine to support my work!!!!

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITSomething strange is happening to American society, and today's episode unpacks several bizarre headlines that reveal the unsettling transformation. From political extremism to desperate dating tactics, each story paints a picture of a nation struggling with shifting norms and values.We start by examining the troubling case of a former Zoran Mamdani intern who proudly declared that "activism is all jihad" while encouraging protesters to get arrested in defiance of what she called "the West's settler colonialism." This language signals a concerning radicalization within certain political movements that deserves greater attention. When activism becomes framed as holy war, we've crossed a dangerous threshold worth examining.The episode also tackles a disturbing criminal justice failure in Colorado, where a Democratic district attorney moved to dismiss charges against a transgender sex offender accused of attempting to kidnap an 11-year-old boy from an elementary school. Despite the suspect's criminal history, mental incompetency determinations led to the case being dropped, raising serious questions about public safety and accountability. A recall effort against the DA is now underway, reflecting community frustration with perceived failures to protect children.Perhaps most bizarre is the emerging trend of single women in Manhattan stealing men's lunches - specifically targeting finance professionals' salads - to obtain their names and contact them through LinkedIn for dates. This desperate dating tactic speaks volumes about the breakdown of normal social interactions in the post-pandemic, post-Me Too era. We explore why traditional approaches to dating have collapsed, leaving both men and women resorting to increasingly strange methods to make connections.What's happening to American society?

In the bestselling traditions of Seinfeldia and Top of the Rock comes a fascinating deep dive into the longest-running live-action sitcom in television history, from its humble beginnings to its evolution as a critically acclaimed cult classic comedy.Charlie, Dennis, Mac, Sweet Dee, and Frank are deplorable characters. They will never mature, become more self-aware, or less self-involved. That is what the creators of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia are committed to-and that's why the show's millions of devoted fans have stuck with the cult comedy hit for over sixteen seasons and counting.Created in 2005 by stars Rob McElhenney, Glenn Howerton, and Charlie Day, unemployed actors with a pair of Law & Order guest appearances as the highlights of their collective resume, the frustrated trio drafted a homemade TV pilot. A few months and $200 later (the cost of videotapes, pizza for their friends who volunteered as extras, and a broomstick to tape their boom mic to), It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia was ready for its network debut. All major parties either passed or were interested but wanted creative control. And then came FX looking to shake up cable TV. Willing to allow McElhenney, Howerton, and Day complete freedom to deconstruct the traditional sitcom, new president John Landgraf agreed to take a chance. No one had any idea how big of a success it would be. With FX's one creative note-the hiring of Danny DeVito-adding the final piece of the puzzle, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia has enjoyed a steady climb to high ratings, critical acclaim, and a place in the cultural zeitgeist. Now, how the show and its creators have accomplished this is revealed with this in-depth, behind-the-scenes celebration.As thoughtful, provocative, and engaging as the show itself, this book also explores how the show has pushed the envelope and used absurdist comedy to explore major societal issues, including the #MeToo movement, LGBTQ+ rights, racism, and more. It also asks, what does the future hold for The Gang? It certainly won't include the characters' personal growth, but the show itself continues to move forward, adding to its dynamic history with each season.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Is The Diddy Verdict A Societal Rejection Of The 'MeToo' Era Description: The verdict in the Diddy trial did more than divide legal analysts—it reignited a cultural debate we thought had already been settled: Are we still in the #MeToo era, or are we witnessing its slow rejection in real time? In this provocative and timely episode, attorney Eric Faddis joins us to ask whether the jury's refusal to convict Diddy on sex trafficking and racketeering charges reflects something far larger than one trial. Was this a quiet rebuke of #MeToo itself? We dig into how jurors today process trauma testimony, particularly in high-profile cases involving powerful men. Did they not believe the victims—or did they simply believe the behavior, while wrong, wasn't “criminal enough”? And if so, what does that say about where the public conscience currently sits? Eric brings his dual perspective as both a former prosecutor and defense attorney to tackle key questions: Have jurors developed fatigue toward celebrity abuse cases? Was the bar set during #MeToo too high for a jury now looking for “perfect victims”? How does the absence of physical captivity or force change jurors' perception of abuse? We also explore whether prosecutors leaned too heavily on cultural cues—assuming jurors would “feel the moment” without hammering home the legal definitions needed for conviction. Eric explains the difference between moral outrage and legal proof, and how one doesn't always translate to the other in court. Ultimately, this episode asks whether this verdict was less about Diddy—and more about us. If we don't recognize psychological coercion and exploitation as crimes anymore, what kind of accountability is left? #MeTooVerdict #DiddyTrial #EricFaddis #CulturalBacklash #JusticeFatigue #CelebrityTrials #TrueCrimeCulture #PowerAndAccountability #SexTraffickingTrial #HiddenKillers    Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Vulnerability is not a marketing strategy—it's a human strategy. In this solo episode, I open up about the deep emotional cost of hiding behind polished content and perfectionism. For years, I kept things “professional” in my business, thinking that showing up with raw honesty would damage my credibility. But it did the opposite. It disconnected me from my audience, my mission, and even myself. If you've been scared to show up as your whole self online—or you're afraid your story is “too much”—this episode is your permission slip to be real, to be messy, and to still lead. Key Takeaways Why your business can't grow without emotional connection How perfectionism and fear of judgment keep you stuck The real difference between oversharing and powerful storytelling How to share from the scar, not the wound Why your story doesn't need to be dramatic to be valuable The “Me Too” rule for sharing vulnerably How vulnerability leads to better discovery calls, deeper clients, and lasting trust Why polished funnels can't replace human connection What it means to show up without a script—but with purpose Resources Mentioned YourHealthCoachBiz.com – Done-for-you content, funnels, and programs to support authentic connection Tools to practice vulnerability: Instagram Stories, micro shares, and journaling prompts Influencers who model it well: Jenna Kutcher and other real-voice creators This is your nudge. Show up as you—unfiltered, imperfect, and human. That's the business people remember.

Le vendredi 27 juin, un attentat est déjoué dans la région de Saint-Etienne (Loire). Un jeune homme de 18 ans, qui transportait dans son sac des couteaux, est arrêté juste avant son passage à l'acte. Il avait revendiqué être un « incel », du nom de ce mouvement masculiniste de « célibataires involontaires » qui jugent les femmes responsables de leur célibat.Depuis le mouvement MeToo, les masculinistes réactionnaires haussent le ton. Sur les réseaux sociaux, leurs vidéos pullulent et font plusieurs millions de vues. Alex Hitchens, La Menace ou encore Killian Sensei sont des influenceurs nostalgiques d'un modèle patriarcal poussiéreux. À longueur de vidéo, ils étalent leur vision dégradante de la femme d'aujourd'hui, et donnent des clés à leur public pour trouver l'élue respectable avec qui ils pourront construire leur vie.Code source décrypte le mouvement masculiniste et ses violences avec Elsa Mari, journaliste spécialiste jeunesse au service société du Parisien.

Larry is joined by reporter and journalist Elizabeth Wagmeister to talk about her experiences covering the Sean ‘Diddy' Combs federal criminal case for CNN. They begin their conversation by shining a light on the atmosphere both inside and outside the courtroom, and detailing the individual charges being brought against Combs. They then examine the legal definition of sex trafficking and break down how the prosecution's underestimation of the public perception of this case may have blocked their hopes of a stronger verdict (22:48). After the break, Larry and Elizabeth discuss the effectiveness of Cassie's testimony and it's possible contribution to the ‘Me Too' movement's ultimate goals (30:07). They end the pod by speculating on how this scandal and trial will affect Diddy's career and brand moving forward (44:10).

This week on Gaslit Nation, we're joined by the fearless, brilliant Carter Sherman, an award-winning journalist at The Guardian and one of the sharpest voices covering reproductive rights and sexual politics. Her new book, The Second Coming: Sex and the Next Generation's Fight Over Its Future, is a battle cry for Gen Z, a generation navigating the fallout of a stolen Supreme Court, Me Too, incel culture, and a pornified internet. We dive into how young people are rewriting the rules of intimacy in the face of political oppression. Carter's reporting brings us inside the bedrooms and minds of Gen Zers who are coming of age in a country where Roe v. Wade was overturned exactly as we knew it would be. A generation told they're free is now wrestling with the reality that their rights are under siege, and for many, that anxiety has become physical. As one woman told Carter, she couldn't even have sex without being hounded by Kavanaugh's voice in her head. This isn't just a story of fear; it's one of resistance. Carter shares how young people are pushing back, from Kansas voters defending abortion rights to college students canvassing in swing states. But she also warns of the growing threat: the rise of the Manosphere, where boys are radicalized by algorithm and learn to hate women before they can legally drink. What can young women and young men agree on? That the Democratic Party brand is toxic, because it's Republican Lite.  The Second Coming is a deeply reported, fiercely human portrait of a generation caught between tech, trauma, and tyranny. This week's bonus show will look at the horror of Trump's Big Evil Bill passing through Congress, and our discussion of Lillian Faderman's landbook book The Gay Revolution–a resistance blueprint for us today.  Thank you to everyone who supports Gaslit Nation–we could not make this show without you!  Want to enjoy Gaslit Nation ad-free?

Professor Joan C. Williams joins the show to discuss her book Outclassed: How the Left Lost the Working Class and How to Win Them Back. She explains how the decline of unions, elite cultural codes, and a failure to value stability over novelty have fueled resentment. Mike also examines Pixar's box office collapse, the rise of “bean mouth” animation, and whether John Lasseter's departure was Me Too's costliest ouster.

This week, the Hacks are pulling double duty—two big stories, two top-notch guests. First, Senator Elissa Slotkin—former CIA analyst and Pentagon official—joins to break down U.S. involvement in Iran, Trump's handling of the strikes, and the rift this is opening inside the Republican Party. Then, the Hacks turn to the city that never sleeps with former U.S. Ambassador to South Africa and longtime New York political heavyweight Patrick Gaspard. They dig into the New York mayor's race, the ins and outs of ranked choice voting, and how generational divides, political comebacks, and a post-MeToo reckoning are reshaping the city's politics.

The first victim of Andrew Cuomo's serial harassment to come forward, former aide to the Governor Lindsey Boylan,  takes a break from canvassing to join Bad Faith to remind the audience why no one should rank Cuomo. She explains why the Democratic Party has a crisis of credibility as a consequence of selectively weaponizing the #metoo movement for political ends, and Briahna shares her own tale of workplace harassment.
