Kerouac Smith
Who needs dystopian fiction when you've got the real thing right outside? Kerouac and Todd try to make sense of a world gone haywire.
June is here and with it Pride Month, which should and will be a month of celebration. As usual, there's been a load of corporate Pride initiatives ... like Target stocking shelves with LGBTQ-friendly merchandise.

Like everyone else out there, we wanted to see FOX News get taken to the cleaners in court but we had to settle for, well, a settlement. Now, it's a hefty price to pay, but it sure would have been nice to see them sweat.

Democracy took a hit in Tennessee this week. Two of three lawmakers who stood with children protesting for gun control were expelled from the state's House of Representatives. The whole affair was a travesty, right down to the obvious reason one lawmaker was spared.

We're boiling this show down to its essence: Two Gen Xers embracing their angsty stereotype and talking about what's bringing them down. Like the news these days gives us any choice.

The world's been a little too bleak for me, but Dystopia Now is back. In this one, I crash Eric Dennison's podcast This Newfangled Life and force my own agenda on that show. I have to say, it's a big improvement from Eric's usual cohost. We talk about the post-vax beauty treatment rush and zombies.
