Valerie’s Wild Ride, BBC Blunders, and MAGA’s Self-Own | Something Ain't Right
Manage episode 479925968 series 3296811
This week on Something Ain’t Right, we kick things off with an exciting update on Valerie, the pampered dachshund who’s been “roughing it” in the Australian wilderness for over 500 days. Spoiler alert: she’s still living her best life, and we’re still wondering why humans are so extra.
Next, we dive into the BBC Arabic debacle, where reporters with a history of anti-Semitic and violence-inciting posts somehow made it onto the payroll. Journalism 101: maybe don’t hire people who fail the “basic human decency” test.
Then, we unpack some eyebrow-raising data that claims men—specifically white men—are falling behind women in education due to a “growing bias toward girls.” Sounds like someone’s fishing for a narrative, and we’re not biting.
And finally, MAGA proves once again that irony is not their strong suit. A website created to promote MAGA-friendly businesses has become the ultimate tool for boycotting them. Chef’s kiss.
When the world serves up absurdity, we’re here to dish it out with a side of biting commentary. Tune in to Something Ain’t Right—because when you have to give it the side-eye, you know it belongs here.
