Episode 26: Alcatraz, Chicago Pope, White Fragility In The Mushroom Apocalypse, Thinning The Herd, Stolen Rabbits, and more

from The Dumbest Story of the Week

This week delivered another deluge of dumb, but don't give up. We'll get through it. When Donald Trump goes fully off the rails, how will we know? JD Vance is a harbinger of doom, and you heard it here first. Or maybe second. The new Pope is from Chicago, and now that we Chicagoans have the first Black president, Michael Jordan, John Hughes, and the first Yankee Pope, we will never let you forget it. (The memes alone are priceless.) My beef with the Catholic church remains. Call me when we have a woman for a Pope. News flash! A straight white guy gets upset about seeing lesbians on his TV. A couple American tourists narrowly avoid getting themselves killed in bizarre ways. The Navy is now storing their planes at the bottom of the Red Sea, apparently. And I share a story of stolen rabbits that staggers the imagination.
