Gavin Newsom Says Joe Rogan Is Too Scared to Have Him On His Podcast (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hawk reacts to a new interview California Governor Gavin Newsom did with YouTuber Shelby Church, and uses it to talk about something he cares a lot about: transparency in new media. The conversation starts with the growing practice of political campaigns, parties, and dark-money groups quietly paying creators to make content for or against candidates, often without disclosing it, which Hawk argues is corrosive to the one thing creators actually have, their credibility. He makes a point of statin
Our Cornell Culture and The System That Protects Abusers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hawk reflects on the Cornell case that has dominated online discourse this week, in which a former student’s civil lawsuit alleges she was drugged and assaulted for hours by members of a fraternity, with others invited via a group chat.

Schmitt called Smith a dirtb
A Blue Tsunami is coming in the Midterms (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sometimes the most striking midterm forecast comes from the other side of the aisle. Hawk reacts to a segment from The Megyn Kelly Show in which journalist Mark Halperin lays out a strikingly bleak outlook for Republicans, predicting Democrats will net at least 25 House seats and at least six Senate seats in the midterms, and warning it could be even bigger, a blue tsunami. Kelly’s reaction says it all: oh, good God.Halperin’s numbers come not from Democratic operatives but from dozens of Republ
