After a short break we are back to our usual antics as we discuss the latest news from twitter and their increased word count. We analyze the problems with the platform and discuss the real issues like harassment that go unaddressed by twitter. This leads us to talking about the rise of amateur experts and destabilizing the authority of experts and how this played into the reaction to the latest mass shooting in Las Vegas. We talk about conspiracy theories, the dangers of thinking you know more than you do, the over abundance of information and misinformation, and the role of mainstream media. We examine the role of violence in America before finishing with a review of Fox’s Gifted. We compare it to another comic book TV show Lucifer.
