we had a brief (unintentional) hiatus for a minute, but @oloonik.bsky.social and I have some new WXQT content coming your way, starting with my personal essay on consuming Squid Game slop content (and the psychic damage it did to me). You can read it on our blog here:

Warning: big spoilers for Squid Game (all seasons) and also for AI slop content purporting to be continuations of the show (just in case you’re bizarre and care about that!). Continue only if you are ...

Part II of my writing about the mass sexual harassment machine that is Grok is now up on WXQT. This one, as one might expect from X, comes back to both misogyny and Nazi shit. Edits by the indomitable @oloonik.bsky.social. wxqt-radio.ghost.io/grok-nudify-2/

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest. The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says. "I could smell the onions and mustard."
