Something Ain't Right: Broadway Drama, Forced Incubation, and RFK Jr's Fictional Science -- the Sound of a Thousand Side-Eyes
Manage episode 486844962 series 2499646
This week on Something Ain’t Right, we wade into the latest Broadway drama starring the legendary Patti LuPone, who may have finally found the one thing powerful enough to make her apologize: 500 other Broadway stars. When divas collide, even the unshakable must blink.
But that’s just the warm-up act, because next, we tackle a story that is so fundamentally wrong it feels ripped from a dystopian novel. Kansas law is forcing women to sue to uphold their end-of-life wishes—because if the patient is pregnant, those wishes are disregarded entirely. Yes, even if she is legally declared brain-dead, her body is still treated as nothing more than an incubator for a fetus—regardless of viability, consent, or basic human dignity.
This isn’t just unethical—it’s medieval. And if this doesn’t trigger a full-body side-eye, nothing will.
And just when you thought it couldn’t get more surreal, RFK Jr.’s Department of Health and Human Services has been caught citing studies that do not exist in his "MAHA" report. That’s right—government health policy is now being backed by fictional science. Because when it comes to public health, who needs evidence?
When reality stops making sense, starts sounding insane, and forces us to ask, how did we get here?, you know it belongs on Something Ain’t Right. Tune in—we’ll bring the judgment.
