The confirmation hearings are over. For better or worse. Though they were much quicker and less dramatic than the last time we did this whole dance, we did find out that ACB, as we’re now calling her, has quite a problematic view on the use of the N-word. She takes pride in being an originalist, which doesn’t make her a hipster as much as it potentially makes her outdated and ignorant to the systemic problems we are currently coming to terms with in this country. Trump didn’t say anything during his Town Hall tonight, but did teach us a thing or two about how to avoid incriminating yourself. Biden, for his part, did better actually answering questions and reiterating unity over division. Now before you say anything about how problematic Biden is and before you bring up the 1994 crime bill, let us point out that it’s counterproductive to be stubbornly attached to your critiques if you are not willing to be a part of holding people accountable and making them push forward in the right direction. Also, Disney probably watched our show and is now adding a disclaimer to racially offensive properties, like Dumbo, encouraging people to be informed about the problematic racial depictions in the movie. This and more right here. Watch here or find us where you get your pods. If you feel inclined to donate, it’s always appreciated: linktr.ee/thejoshuasilverstein
