Things we would have called fiction yesterday are fact today. As most of the West thinks better of mutilating children, the US forges ahead stealing kids from loving fathers and giving them to  Gorgon mothers with scalpels for fingernails. A living AI chatbot called Katherine Maher just took over National Public Radio, and she's literally indistinguishable from a pop culture parody character. Barking mad American black women in Congress are calling for black people to be excused from taxes on accounta what whitey done.  And we're all supposed to pretend this is sane or normal. It's not. Today is April 20, 2024, and I'm Joshua Slocum. We're going to discuss all of this and more tonight on Disaffected. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
