2025-07-09 - Who's Spinning the Spin?

Jonny and Heather begin with a thesis that the weather is
transphobic. This not-entirely-serious claim is used as a foil to
discuss disinformation and misinformation campaigns. They examine
several current event stories impacted by such spin, including: the
Texas floods, the Everglades detention center, myths about
undocumented immigration, and trans ban legislation.In the back
half of the show, Jonny picks up the thread of AI's role in
producing deep fakes and contributing to disinformation campaigns,
but then offeres a more queer/nonbnary take on AI that examines
ethical possibilities and recurrent fantasies about the
nonnormative potential of robots.
