It Wasn’t Israel’s Fault

Thomas Massie lost his Kentucky primary by 10 points and immediately blamed Israel. Bridget’s not buying it.

She breaks down why Massie lost his own constituents, why Israel derangement syndrome is the new woke, and why the anti-woke comedians who’ve gone down this road are starting to sound exactly like the people they used to make fun of.

Also: Trump trolling the right by saying he’ll run for prime minister of Israel. Here’s a new edition of The Dumpster Fire from Bridget Phetasy.

Hasan Piker Won’t Shut Up

Twitch streamer and communist LARPer Hasan Piker has been subpoenaed by the US Treasury over his Cuba trip — and instead of lawyering up, he immediately went on a livestream and started spilling everything. Bridget Phetasy breaks down the Piker legal saga, why the far left has always been allowed to play by different rules, and what it means that Elon’s baby mama ended up on a communist’s livestream giving away hoodies.

Also: A meditation on Podcastistan, the nihilistic slop economy, and why livestreams are the laziest form of entertainment ever invented. Here Phetasy in a new edition of The Dumpster Fire.

Late Night Became Insufferable

Stephen Colbert’s Late Show aired its final episode Thursday night, ending a decade-long run that cost CBS roughly $40 million a year and alienated half the country.

Bridget Phetasy breaks down how Trump derangement syndrome turned late night television from a unifying institution into a smug resistance rally — and why no one is actually sad to see it go. Also: The case for Dumpster Fire to fill the slot.

Almonds Are The Real Threat

Commencement speakers got booed this weekend for mentioning AI — by the same graduating class that used ChatGPT to write their papers.

Bridget Phetasy breaks down why the anti-AI panic is just climate anxiety with a new face, why Bernie Sanders and AOC’s plan to ban data centers is the worst idea in recent memory, and why China is absolutely loving every minute of our meltdown. Here’s more in a new episode of The Dumpster Fire from Phetasy.

America, China: Friends Again?

America and China are in the world’s most expensive bad marriage — They need each other, they don’t trust each other, but it’s too expensive to get divorced.

Bridget Phetasy breaks down Trump’s trip to Beijing, the CEO delegation that proves capitalism always wins, the handshake heard round the world and why the Left would rather Trump spit in Xi’s face than narrowly avoid World War III.

Elon Musk took pictures like a tourist and Marco Rubio has a new name and a new look. Here’s more from Bridget on a new edition of The Dumpster Fire.

New Plague Or Nothing Burger?

A deadly virus is spreading around the globe. Health officials are scrambling to keep it contained. We’ve seen this movie before and we did not enjoy it.

But this time it’s a virus with a 40% mortality rate. Bridget Phetasy walks us through the hantavirus outbreak, how people are reacting to a potential Pandemic: The Sequel when our trust in our institutions is already shattered, and why the World Cup could be the accelerator event to a catastrophe.

Are any of us actually ready to do this again? Definitely not. Here’s more in a new episode of The Dumpster Fire.

Your Car Is Spying On You

There’s a kill switch being built into every new car in America by 2027 — and both parties voted for it with a smile.

Bridget Phetasy breaks down the AI that decides if you’re too emotional to drive, why the mandatory seatbelt law was always a slippery slope, and how the surveillance state got built — not by the government, but by us, one smart home device and ignored terms of service at a time.

The Alexa, the Ring doorbell, the face scan to unlock your phone — we handed all of it over for the sake of convenience. Don’t worry though, you can opt out. You just won’t be able to participate in society. Here’s more from Phetasy in a new edition of The Dumpster Fire.

Everything Is Fake And Gay

The Southern Poverty Law Center — America’s premier anti-hate nonprofit — has been indicted for secretly funding the KKK.

If you donated to the SPLC thinking you were fighting racism, congratulations: you may have bought the Grand Wizard a new truck.

Bridget Phetasy breaks down the most ironic scandal in nonprofit history and why the demand for racism apparently outpaced the supply, so they decided to manufacture some. Here’s more in a new edition of The Dumpster Fire.

Democrats’ Terrorist Problem

A gunman burst through the doors of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner and opened fire — and somehow, within hours, Democrats were calling it a hoax.

Bridget Phetasy breaks down the WHCD shooting, the shooter’s manifesto (which opens with “Hello everybody!”), and why his beliefs weren’t fringe at all — they were garden-variety, left-wing media talking points.

Also: Why is the left so comfortable with assassination culture, and what does Trump building a ballroom have to do with any of this? Here’s more from Bridget Phetasy on a new edition of The Dumpster Fire.

Theft, Piracy And Murder

Hasan Piker sat down with the New York Times Opinion podcast — alongside Jia Tolentino and Nadja Spiegelman — and made the case that murdering a healthcare CEO is “social protest” and stealing is activism. Nobody pushed back.

Bridget Phetasy and Mike Solana of Pirate Wires break down how assassination culture went from fringe rhetoric to the paper of record, what it means that the left has no “too far,” and why the New York Times mainstreaming a violent Marxist is the actual story. Here’s more from Phetasy in a new edition of The Dumpster Fire.
