ABOUT THIS EPISODE
We discuss the uproar and confusion that ensued when John Davidson, who suffers from Coprolalia (the form of Tourettes that induces vulgar language and gestures), said the N-word at the Baftas.
Why did the BBC not bleep the N-word when they had already bleeped "Free Palestine" and other slurs?
Who is the more righteous, those who find racism in John Davidson's heart, or those who attack the accusation of racism as ableist?
We discuss Lacan and the signifier, we discuss the compulsion to apologize and virtue signal, and the spectacle of it all.

We tore open the homophobic response to the relatively new football play, the tush push.
We wanted to talk about the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's assassination. We ended up returning to a question Sagi asked in the last episode (Bowser Bones): how do we talk to people who mean well but don't get more radical ideas? This question is so hard to answer, we meander on all sides of…
