S02E04 - White People Sure Hate Chris Brown

from Midnight Hijack · host Hijacked Network

This week on Midnight Hijack: we run through the week’s news, starting with the continuing ICE situation and the broader push toward expanded surveillance in the US. We also get into reports about crypto use rising in criminal activity, plus the latest round of “AI is everywhere now” headlines and what that means in practical terms. Then we spend time on a debate around Chris Brown and Kobe Bryant, and a bigger question underneath these names: why certain public figures get singled out for permanent outrage, what “cancelled” even means anymore, and whether people should be allowed to screw up and still have a career. And we end with a small, ridiculous story out of England: a man arrested after spitting out a leaf that blew into his mouth.
