We were so excited to welcome
from to The Daily Whatever this morning! Ben is an amazing writer, with opinions on everything from politics to popular culture, which means he’s a great add to the genXy fam. He may be two generations removed from us, but clearly, he’s one of us in spirit and vibe. We mean that in a GOOD way, Ben! 😜Today was Fucked-Up Friday, and as per the rules, all three contestants entered the ring with a story that they could credibly argue was THE most fucked-up thing that happened during the week.
Here were the choices:
Ben kicked us off with the grim news that recent reporting has confirmed that HHS Secretary, RFK Jr., does not, in fact, believe in germ theory: a fundamental precept to all of western medicine for the last 100 years, and the thing that keeps your vaccines up-to-date. Fucked up, and bad news come flu season.
Dana hit us with this horrible story next: Two cis-gendered women were kicked out of a hotel bathroom in Boston, with one of the women being forced to “prove” her gender.
Lastly, I (Lawrence), presented the bad news that India and Pakistan have re-kindled their war over Kashmir, and have begun what seems to be the first drone war. But don’t worry! It’s just two nuclear-tipped powers who have hated each other forever, fighting a religious war over disputed land, with no input from the US to de-escalate. What could go wrong?
The people voted, and in a 6-5 vote, Dana, our reigning FuF Champion did it once again, and won the vote.
One thing we can all agree on is that the world is plenty fucked-up all over the place, and there was no shortage of stories to choose from.
