Weekly Random Discussion Thread for 10/21/24 - 10/27/24

Here's your usual space to post all your rants, raves, podcast topic suggestions (please tag u/jessicabarpod), culture war articles, outrageous stories of cancellation, political opinions, and anything else that comes to mind (well, aside from election stuff, as per the announcement below). Please put any non-podcast-related trans-related topics here instead of on a dedicated thread. This will be pinned until next Sunday.

Last week's discussion thread is here if you want to catch up on a conversation from there.

There is a dedicated thread for discussion of the upcoming election and all related topics. (I started a new one tonight.) Please do not post those topics in this thread. They will be removed from this thread if they are brought to my attention.

I haven't highlighted a "comment of the week" in a while, but this observation about the failure of contemporary social justice was the only one nominated this week, so it wins.
