    I really appreciate that Brittany brings real journalism to the chaos on my timeline. I feel like most news overlooks the conversations that are happening on our screens and it’s nice to know that there are real professionals that are validating and contextualizng what we’re all experiencing on the internet.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

People say America doesn't have a monarchy. They're wrong.
Q: Lay that out a little bit more, this comparison between Kim and JFK and how each family rotates around them.
Corey explains Kim as a JFK-like figure in the sense that both are central to a broader cultural ecology, with different family members and media moves reinforcing each other to sustain relevance.
People say America doesn't have a monarchy. They're wrong.
Q: Tell me about that.
Corey outlines how both families leveraged new media channels—TV for the Kennedys and social media for the Kardashians—to expand their reach and solidify their mythologies.
You can break the cycle of overthinking
Q: What does faith look like for artists dealing with crisis or doubt, and how does grace inform their choices?
Brandon discusses faith as a vulnerability to the unknown, the idea of grace as supportive presence rather than perfect correctness, and how grace can guide artists to be present and helpful even when answers are elusive.
You can break the cycle of overthinking
Q: Talk to me about how the culture around art preempts how people make it and how an artist navigates reception.
Brandon explains that publishing creates an imagined audience and social pressure that can distort an artist's motivations; the key is to recognize these forces without letting them derail the creative process, and to focus on making work that matters to you.
Is your data getting colonized?
Q: Regine, does that comparison between historic colonialism ring true to you in the Philippines?
Yes, the exploitation of Filipino labor has roots in colonialism, with post-colonial digital labor taking new forms, including data labeling and remote work that continues to extract value from local workers.
