Episode #152: Shocker the Monkeypox
Alex gets suspended in multiple ways, Adrian supports rampant election fraud, we wonder whether Replacement Theorists realize SCOTUS overturning Roe means more minorities, CDC recommends fully-clothed sex and social-distance masturbation, Google’s AI hires a lawyer, and unfortunately the next solar flare probably won’t be “The Big One.”
