CLUB NORMIE
by jennifer weissmann
Sane company for insane times. Something strange is happening to the way we argue, marry, date, work, vote, and raise kids. Half of what we now call normal would have sounded insane ten years ago. Club Normie is where you find out what happened — and why you're not the crazy one for noticing. Each episode takes one thing everyone's shouting about and actually thinks it through, giving every side its best case. You'll walk away understanding the argument well enough to explain it at dinner — including the half you disagree with. From our new relationship with AI, to a generation priced out of everything that decided "fairness" is the most powerful word in the language, we follow the weirdness wherever it leads. No side to pick. No outrage required. Just an hour of thinking out loud with someone who's as puzzled as you are.

Communism, back and looking great to many. And every relationship now comes with an org chart — who's got the power, who doesn't, and which one you are today.Normie: didn't change.
