Episode 90: KEXP Promotes An Anti-Semitic Group (For Social Justice), Exploring The World Of Conservative Furries, And A New College We Weren't Invited To Teach At

After Katie asks Jesse if she did a cancel culture, she takes him on a disturbing and nonconsensual journey involving conservative and possibly Nazi-sympathetic furries. Then the hosts discuss the newly launched University of Austin and the reaction to it from very sane people online.

“Rittenhouse’s trial is yet to begin, but ever since he chose to travel to Kenosha, Wisconsin, and hunt down anti-racist protesters with an assault rifle, he has received significant far-right support, including from government forces and, it now appears, the judge presiding over his case.”: https://theintercept.com/2021/10/30/kyle-rittenhouse-charlottesville-far-right-violence-courts/

Glenn Greenwald on media coverage of the Rittenhouse case:

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Brazil's largest newspaper, @folha, had to delete a tweet about Rittenhouse because they claimed the people he shot were black. Obviously, they are getting their information from US media and this is what has been done on purpose. So many people misled:

Folha de S.Paulo @folha

Os homens mortos por Kyle Rittenhouse na manifestação antirracista em Kenosha não eram negros, como dito em tuíte anterior, que foi apagado.
