#601 Harry Potter ACTUAL Christian Memes
Today we look at the dubious reporting behind the NYT’s Oct 7th sexual assault piece published last December.
An investigation by the Intercept reveals a latticework of fabricated, unsubstantiated, and debunked claims of “systemic” sexual assault made by Israeli figures with no forensic or sexual assault training. We’re going off vibes here.
ALSO: we wipe the taste of hasbara from our palates with an incredibly niche Facebook group of ex-Harry Potter fans using their former wickedness for good: making memes about the wizard and his friends burning in hell.
Finally, we cover an age-old band-member squabble: force-transitioning your bassist to steal his fiancé.
