Sarah and Meghan kick off their conversation by wondering whether you should be able to order a breastmilk latte at Starbucks and or if the Donner Party consulted YouTube for human meat recipes.

They then move on to the myth of the “decolonization” narrative, the disinformation surrounding the Israel-Hamas War and ask whether TikTok is a “headless propaganda machine.” (Signs point to yes.)

Finally, they discuss the case of the 21-year-old TikToker who went viral with a video complaining about the hours she must work at her first job. Spoiler: they agree with her!

(Psst! We also have a Patreon now in case you want to support us even more.)
