My partner hates that I can listen to stuff and work at the same time. I just tuned into this and it starts off with Shaun talking about Melbourne. So let’s go on an adventure with Shaun and see where we end up. It’s a two hour recording lol.

    Worth watching? I don’t like giving more oxygen/brain time to idiots so I’m inclined not to watch it. Good to get out of my bubble sometimes I guess.

      I think so. It’s mostly audio so you could get the same out of it while not having to be glued to the screen. The presenter has a bit of a laid back, witty style and a cool accent/voice.

      The spoiler is (and please anyone clarify or correct me) that this person (Kellie-Jay/Posie Parker) is an outspoken trans exterminationist (and fascist?) who is building a political movement (and now a party in the UK?) that uses rhetoric and tactics akin/identical to those used by the NAZIS when they were also a small political party. The kicker is that it looks and sounds like they have the support of a billionaire in JK Rowling (in some senses anyway). Also the media is a few years behind on how much of a threat this tendency actually is (and how far JK how gone down the rabbit hole) and that anyone who is a trans ally needs to clock this not just for trans people but for everyone. Something like that.
