À propos de cet audio
This week, Bassey & Mike start in the most unexpected place — the weather. What begins as a playful debate over hoodies versus humidity unfolds into one of the most layered cultural conversations they’ve ever had.
From Tyler, the Creator’s evolution and the internet’s obsession with punishment, to Black Twitter’s moral high ground and the “recently Black,” they unpack what happens when outrage becomes currency and when “harm” becomes performance. Through humor and honesty, they question why so many of us are addicted to digital righteousness — and what it’s costing us in empathy, nuance, and grace.
Mike connects it back to critical thinking, mental health, and the psychology of online engagement — drawing lines between COINTELPRO, culture wars, and how algorithms weaponize Black emotion for profit. Bassey challenges the performative morality that masquerades as activism, calling out how “cancel culture” mirrors the same carceral logic it claims to oppose.
Yeah, it was one of those!
