"Avoiding alcohol while pregnant is ableist" "You need permission to bring your token white friend along". To some, these are genuine beliefs. For others, it's what we call 'chronically online'. It's a term the internet has taken on to describe opinions that are so far removed from reality, to the point that they aren't even really real issues. In this episode, we'll dive into some hot takes accused of being chronically online. We'll also look at how this isn't the first time supposedly illegitimate concerns have made even the woke feel uncomfortable.Have something to add?

Why is the world so obsessed with American politics? From Kamala Harris falling out of a coconut tree to Donald Trump accusing immigrants of eating the dogs – it's no secret that the 2024 U.S election has turned into a global spectacle. Whether you live on the other side of the world or are yet to have even visited, you're more likely than not to have an opinion on American politics. In this episode, Jamila and Bella explore why both candidates are going after Gen Z, and how Gen Zers worldwide have done their campaigning without even realising it.
