This month on Extra, we discuss the titanic legacy of Dolly Parton before turning to a Gaggony Guncles question about how queer community changes as we age. Is it possible to remain in community in the same ways? How can we deal with tension and discomfort? www.patreon.com/badgayspod/p...

On this episode, we discuss the Gen Z sex recession–one needs a room of one's own to get fisted, as Virginia Woolf might have written––and then take a question from a listener upset about a friend's decision to prioritize a couple over friendship. www.patreon.com/badgayspod/p...

In episode 5, out free today, we talk about Mandelson's journey from MP to peer to Ambassador, and how his enormous influence over that time, usually behind the scenes, has led to a Labour Party and indeed the two party system itself on the edge of total collapse. badgayspod.com/episode-arch...

Barney Frank—once my Congressional rep, a pioneer gay politician—has died after a political career characterized by transphobia, corruption, relentless left-punching, and a fight for the few against the many. Listen to our Bad Gays episode for an accurate obituary: badgayspod.com/episode-arch...

Lyme is one of many health problems caused & exacerbated by manmade climate change. A legitimate health secretary would acknowledge that. We actually had a pretty good Lyme vaccine but antivaxxers lied & said it gave people knee pain (it didn’t but knee pain?) & got manufacturer to pull it in 2002.

We have not run out of good ideas, we have a global inequality where good ideas cannot get the necessary supports into becoming solutions. Good ideas are everywhere if we would just allocate resources to trying some out. AI cannot make new ideas. It cannot have ANY ideas.
