[@agnes-berry]

[@ailascott]

Please tell me it isn't the horny lawyers

[@jerilegend]

You know it's a good day when you start hearing someone screaming LATE STAGE LATE STAGE

[@KillerOfWhales]

Y’know I couldn’t really tell what the words were in the intro before, I’ve been assuming it was just chanting “straight straight straight straight” this whole time. Which honestly I’m a little disappointed it isn’t now

[@BigGayIncorporated]

@@KillerOfWhales methinks your listening skills suck ass

[@pinkdiamondsmysawedoff]

So excited to see violet perform!

[@TheBubblegumWitch]

[@LateStageLive]

Thank you so much!

[@mokat]

[@marceline3771]

I'm at the weird stage of leftism where I have a whole bunch of ideas & a solid ideological foundation but I'm only just getting started actually showing praxis, which can be odd & kind of depressing, but this show genuinely helps a bunch! Thanks so much for the laughs.

[@fantastic8805]

Really wanna get Violet Stanza's song though... it's not on their channel. ;w;

[@ImmortalLav]

LOSS MENTIONED RAHH

[@Trash-Garbage-Trash]

The rat birth control thing is actually amazing! Rat poison is such a huge and far-reaching environmental issue. It's not just about the rats, it's one of the most common causes of death for birds of prey. If they can find a safer solution to controlling rat populations that's great!

[@thaddeusschultz829]

ELLLLLA YURMAN!!!!!!!!!

[@therolentless]

Comment down below

[@Julianacan]

4-20 time LETS GOO

[@cullenanderson173]

What a moment that BIG WEED paid the studio a visit right before the rescheduling announcement dropped. Sincerely though thank you for making me aware to the ugly capitalism side of the rescheduling decision. Would have been naively pretty excited otherwise. Love that I happened to stumble across this show. Hope it only continues to succeed!

[@cescimes]

guess who's back, back again

[@th.nd.r]

Holy crap what a good show

[@paigemartin3827]

Commenting because I’m nasty

[@artosbear]

Great question tiny cop
Cops that work as prison and jail guards use their immense access to prisoners' personal information to commit mass identity theft. Like...its every jail and prison that does it and they get caught a lot.
On top of all the violence they do to their slaves.

[@Theribus]

Thanks "It Could Happen Here" podcast for introducing me to my new favorite show! Maybe I'd actually watch television if it was queer af like this glorious chaos LOL

[@diarmid6381]

hell yea hell yea hell yea
