The misunderstood humor of political memes
From the attempted assassination of former President Trump, to President Biden dropping out of the election, and VP Kamala Harris stepping up... The news these past few weeks has been buck wild. And the energy online is similarly unhinged. But what do most people get wrong when they try to interpret the latest explosion of political memes? And what do these posts actually say about how people are processing major events? And are there consequences to just posting through it? Host Brittany Luse is joined by Tatum Hunter (www.washingtonpost.com/people/tatum-hunter/) , consumer tech reporter at The Washington Post, and Kyle Chayka (www.newyorker.com/contributors/kyle-chayka) , staff writer at The New Yorker, to discuss what meaning could possibly be gleaned from the meme madness.

In the latest revival of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cats, there are no singing cats.

The rise of the AR-15; plus, why do comedians play so many cops?

Last Saturday, former president Donald Trump was speaking at a rally in Pennsylvania when a gunman shot at him - killing one spectator and clipping Trump in the ear. The response? Outrage, condemnations, and prayers on all sides... but there's been less chatter about the gun that shot at him. And this gun has a lot of symbolism: The AR-15. Host Brittany Luse is joined by The Wall Street Journal...

The internet freaked out when Charli XCX and Lorde revealed - and put to rest - their pop girl rivalry on Charli's "Girl, so confusing" remix.

What a great interview!
great analysis, examination, and reporting worthy of a lgbtqia+-inclusive history textbook something to get people thinking in ways that inspire greater understanding
🏳️🌈It was neither her child’s death nor her husband’s assassination that drove MTL mad. It was this production. Happy Pride!🏳️🌈
Step 1: It's not really happening Step 2: Yeah, it's happening, but it's not a big deal Step 3: It's a good thing, actually Step 4: People freaking out about it are the real problem
A brilliant artist.
Can we talk more about how the app is bad
It's alright. Certainly not worse than HBO or Amazon. And they have 1% of their budget.
Love her music, but her political opinions are like an AI-generated caricature to see how many woke buzzwords she can cram into a sentence.

You are an iletrate cow
Thank you, that was really refreshing ❤
DEI is the new “N” word for the Republican Party presently.
It’s a slur geared towards black Americans who are in higher positions. Yes. 😢😢😢
Why even mention separate the art from the artist? That implies that Michael Jackson is guilty. The courts found him innocent. The majority of people who have closely followed the case found him innocent. Look at the videos of him responding to the accusations. He’s very believable. I believe him.

Fantastic interview about a wonderful company, thank you
Ask Brennan Lee Mulligan if the point is not to win.
*I* ..... CANNOT WIN!
I only subscribed to Dropout 5 weeks or so ago and the stuff on it is so good that I've done little else with my free time. Even if I finish watching everything I want to watch, I'd still stay subscribed because they actually deserve the money.
"Men are emotionally stunted" as per the type of men you somehow always end up messing with. Wonder that the common denominator is here
NO
Maybe there’s a point. But the progress of men that are not emotionally stunted is for sure connected with a critical examination of the social behaviors encouraged by patriarchal systems
It’s hard to avoid emotionally stunted men when they make up the majority.

Love sam and love hearing him talk business. He did another interview against the creator of the Curiosity that is almost as good as this one with similarly interesting insights in business and the current field of streaming. Great interview, great questions here!
_"Almost as good as this one"_ is a great advert for this interview, the Curiosity CEO one was such a wonderful insight into their worlds
In the UK these would be called "Panel shows" not game shows. A recurring group of comedians using a "game" format to riff and be funny. EDIT: I guess I just needed to listen 10 more minutes.
Hah! Serves you right for trying to share your knowledge with others!! 🤣
Im a day 1 dropout subscriber and I guess also day 1 British person yet never made the connection between dropout and shows like WILTY and Mock the Week.
@@deadfr0gthey should’ve said “um, actually!” before adding that knowledge, or else they wouldn’t be awarded the points they correctly deserve
Um Actually, Game Changer, and Make Some Noise are all a tad more "game show" than "panel show" - there are prizes (in some cases) and the game is the main event. I'd argue that many of the British panel shows are also just game shows but with celebrities. That's the main difference anyways, but those exist in American game shows too and are just called "celebrity editions".
Interviewer is a Whitney lol
Unfortunately, I've been hearing a lot of anti-Semitic rhetoric on NPR lately.
The Easter joke got me! Great interview
great video
It's so funny u said u've been a fan of hers 2 decades. I've known about Tracee about as long. But I just started 2 adore her recently after hearing her interview on Fresh Air w Tonya Mosley. I adore her the person. I had never watched an entire episode of anything she's been n. I've grown 2 adore her the person so quickly. I been watching everything w her recently. I did watch High Note 👍🏾👍🏾 only thing I've watched w her act n. I Luv her the person.
What a great episode! Thoughtful and funny thanks for sharing.
Anybody who has done an ounce of research knows there shouldn't be an issue with listening to Michael Jackson. As ever the "think twice" series, along with anything else that gets a significant public platform tends to be not very well researched and often has a considerable amount of misleading information. As for anyone who genuinely believes leaving Neverland, I genuinely feel worry for you, a one sided and emotionally manipulative hit piece that presents zero facts or evidence and is basically 4 hours on anecdotes 😂 40 plus provable lies, one of the makers broke their own programming guidelines and there is zero balance. Plenty of fact based information out there, but people are usually too lazy.
Yes 🙌🏾
Good interview indeed 🎙️
Really? Talk about conspiracy theories!! U have a whole bundle of them all wrapped up w a pretty lil bow now, don’t u!! Guess that’s why u only have 1 comment! Well now 2! Think you’re in the wrong lane, darling!
How u doing?- fantastic footage~ I'll be back, It's!
Excellent conversation! ❤️
