The Daily Whatever Show: Effed-Up Friday with Rachel @ This Woman Votes
Dating apps, dead pilots, and Pete Hegseth telling us not to worry about it
We were thrilled to welcome Rachel @ This Woman Votes back to The Daily Whatever Show for Fucked Up Friday, our weekly competition to pitch the most egregious news story of the week. The entries were grim across the board, but ultimately Lawrence won with his video featuring Sam Altman popping off about some dystopian nonsense about AI that seems all-too-real now.
Thank you Cat: Poli-Psych, Caro Henry, Char Sundust, Polly Walker Blakemore, Yanni Hamburger, and many others for tuning in, and for Karen Marie Shelton for moderating.
We love you, mean it!
