Episode 3: Nice White Ladies Pay To Get Called Racist Over Dinner
After diagnosing Jesse's troubling cough and recapping Katie's not-quite-nettles tea incident, the cohosts discuss the effect coronavirus is likely to have on the dumbest flashpoints in the online culture wars, Katie invalidates the existence of a popular creator, Jesse complains about the Twitter police, and the episode concludes with a critique of the I Am An Evil White Woman Punish Me Please flavor of anti-racist education and 'activism.'

Show Notes
Jesse has a bad cough. Is it coronavirus, or just Jewishness? Katie, meanwhile, isn't quite sure what plant she turned into tea last week. Will either cohost outlive April? We'll see soon enough. In the meantime, the hosts debate whether coronavirus will kill the online culture wars, then segue accidentally into a discussion of gender identity and the complicated ways in which attempts to reduce misgendering can lead, as Katie has experienced, to yet more misgendering. Then Jesse complains about the Twitter cops who came at Jill Filipovic for her perfectly accurate tweet about the Spanish Legion (being hot), and both cohosts struggle to wrap their minds around the phenomenon of nice white ladies paying Sairo Rao and Regina Jackson to come to dinner at their houses and call them racist.
