TCWD Podcast: Obamacore and the End of Woke

Robin DiAngelo, the personal essayist to woke warrior industrial process, and Kamala is Brat

Apologies for the lack of updates here, I’m traveling overseas and Nico is dealing with family health crises. Speaking of which, you should donate to Nico’s endeavor to spend 24 hours climbing Philly’s Rocky steps, as part of a fundraiser for the local Legacy of Hope charity. They are raising money to build a cancer patient support center to house patients and their families as they pursue treatment. (And an update since the conversation: Nico’s father is out of surgery and is doing well.)

We are apparently so nostalgic for the Obama years that we are happy to forget whatever lessons we may have learned in the last eight years. New York Magazine declared Obamacore the time of Broad City, Hamilton, and Bad Feminist (like these were good things) -- ignoring what he truly gave us, which is Silicon Valley disruption overlords, girlbosses, and Hamilton (as a bad thing). Plus: Robin DiAngelo plagiarism scandal and the end of the woke/anti-woke grifter.
