S6 Ep26: Weekly Skews – A Jim Crow Jackson Pollock Painting

About this episode

The episode discusses government disclosures about aliens, the Voting Rights Act, and gerrymandering in the South, all with a comedic twist.

The government (barely) disclosed (very little) stuff about aliens and you’ll never guess, no one is satisfied. The root cause of all of this does seem to be a government disinformation campaign that no one seems to remember why they did it for. It’s pretty funny. Then, we talk about the practical death of the Voting Rights Act and the mad rush all over the South to gerrymander every state into a sloppy segregationist mess.
