I've talked about this on the show before, but like I volunteered a special needs camp every summer and I've been doing this since I was a kid with my dad.

And I have a pretty hard line about, you know, the special needs community.

And the return of the R word, I think, has just been a disaster for America.

And the fact that someone like Marc Andreessen can say the word retard maxing on a podcast and get no pushback from anyone in his industry sort of deflated me in a way that like I wasn't really anticipating.

I mean, these days, weird Twitter feels like normal Twitter.

That's what I'm saying.

They do.

What you guys were saying about sort of like this being a way to break society down and sort of change it is best actually summed up by a post from Ayla in 2021 titled In Defense of Edginess.

Oh, wow.

Could you imagine anything more aggressively 2021 than that title?

Jesus fucking Christ.

She writes, imagine you are mean, don't have a lot of empathy and enjoy making people mad.

I would say you just become a podcaster.

That's right.

You go on the Internet and you post the most provocative takes you can find.

Maybe Trump should be grabbing more women by the pussy.

You tweet on one account and I'm not sure we shouldn't be discussing white extermination on the other.

I mean, honestly, that second one goes pretty hard.

White extermination, see my band played.

And people say, why are you being so edgy?
