I think my favorite MAGA take on Trump’s ballroom has “Obama didn’t ask permission to build his Bball court”.
Thats actually true. He didn’t ask before hanging a $200 hoop on the fence of the tennis court that was already there. Temporarily! Damn! You got him!

I saw a TikTok the other day with Millenials vs GenZ where GenZ was born 1995-2015 and Millenials were '72-'95!
1972!!! I'm a millennial now! I guess GenX just doesn't exist! And my teasing game towards my now boomer wife has reached a whole new level!

I think I wanna run for president just by being a racist misogynist troll… but then once I'm elected I'm gonna do a bunch of woke socialist shit!
“Nope! Sorry… I’m not really gonna jail Obama. But have some free healthcare!”

So basically the entire news media landscape (including Fox) got together and issued a joint statement that says “no Pete Hegseth… fuck you specifically!”

Every year, my work hosts Games4SocialImpact where a bunch of our students compete to build socially conscious games from scratch in one weekend. It's my tradition to devote that week's episode of my show to interviewing the participants and showcasing their work. check it out (and play their games)
On this week's special epsiode, Mav interviews several of his students as they design video games for the annual University of Pittsburgh #Games4SocialImpact GameJam. Check it out. voxpopcast.com/wp/2025/10/1...

I love that papers are reporting that “Trump failed in his Nobel Peace Prize” as though he had a better chance at it than I dunno… me? A random barista? My cat?

I love when clickbait ragebait doesn’t even try. I just read one claiming “John Cena is blasting wokeness forced down our throats in music and pop culture.” You know… the same John Cena currently starring as a bisexual superhero.

Watching people explain “I’m not racist it’s just that BadBunny speaks Spanish…” and then slowly discovering in realtime that they are kinda racist is fascinating! So close to introspection!

Mike Johnson thinks BadBunny is a bad SuperBowl pick cause “children are watching” so better to “pick Lee Greenwood instead.” 😂 That convinced me he was doing a bit. No one is that screwed up and out of touch!
Then I remembered that he proudly uses an app that texts his son whenever he jacks off.

It's not about morality, religion, family values, respect for tradition or ideology. It never was! It's about supremacy. 99.9% of antiWoke/antiDEI crusaders would put pronouns in their sigs right now if they were promised they could use the N-word without repercussion for life.

The amount of times Hegseth focused on being clean shaven in his speech about military manliness really makes me think Pete just can’t grow a beard…

Seeing people try to explain why they're mad BadBunny got the Super Bowl halftime show without saying "look, I'm just racist, ok?" has kinda made my day.

Dude… come on… I get it. If I were in a pedophile pimp’s little black book I wouldn’t want to talk about either… but releasing the Amelia Earhart files?!?! That’s just sad!!! apnews.com/article/trum...
Trump says he’s ordered the declassification and release of all government records on Amelia Earhart

So now that Kimmel's suspensions has been lifted, this is us talking(from this weekend) about the history of boycotts, how they work & why I said that this one wasn't really needed(as opposed to the press attack which was more useful). Anyway, also just go sub to VoxPopcast anyway. We do good stuff!
So we don't really want to talk about that guy, so instead this week we're talking about the concept of boycotts & what makes them effective and not. Interested in the history & culture of collective action? Then by all means check it out and let us know your thoughts. voxpopcast.com/wp/2025/09/2...

So boycotting Disney/ABC won’t really help here. Their hand was forced by the FCC. They know it’s bad. It's essentially blaming the parent for paying ransom rather than the kidnapper. I’m not on team capitalism(ever) but fascism is a goverment problem.

I find it absolutely fascinating that there are real life people who have UNIRONICALLY both complained that *ONE* football team shows an active superstar player's popstar girlfriend in the stands...

If you say the notion Kirk (or Trump or MAGA) is “racist” or “sexist” is ridiculous you sound stupid. If you agree with it fine… if you think it’s worth it fine…
but if you can’t figure out how someone could possibly say that??? You’re a moron!

It's not that I'm celebrating his death. I'm not! I'm just not whitewashing him either. He wasn't an intellectual promoting free thinking and looking for harmony through debate. He wasn't even a true conservative believer.

so I noticed on last week’s #Peacemaker & paid close attention this week to confirm. (I know nothing so this is a guess not a spoiler) there’s no black people in the alternate dimension! Not even extras.
