We kick things off with Breaking News: a late-night raid on a Pittsburgh bar called “P Town” during a drag show with nightlife legend Amanda Lepore. We unpack what happened, what didn’t, and why this kind of police presence is still deeply unsettling—even if no one got hurt.
Then in our deep-dive segment, we tackle the tangled relationship between queerness and social media. From Facebook and Twitter’s descent into garbage fires to the rise of TikTok and BlueSky, we question what platforms still serve us, what it means to “be visible,” and whether queer resistance in 2025 requires logging off and building something better. Plus: Harrison’s Twitter porn addiction, Kristen’s Myspace catfishing era, and a bonus tribute to the furries allegedly holding the internet together.
