Why I’m wearing cat ears

New episode of Standing Room Only and, as eagle-eyed readers can see, I’m sporting cat ears. It’s because I think I look good in them, but also, there’s a serious point here about the way the right dehumanizes queer people for political gain.

What baseless rumor would you spread?

My guest this week on Standing Room Only is Imara Jones of Translash Media. In this clip, she and I talk about what we’d do if we got a chance to be on Joe Rogan’s show. Specifically, I want to know what baseless rumor would be fun to share, knowing he credulously repeats whatever guests tell him.

Readers and viewers: Tell me in comments what rumor you’d spread, if Joe Rogan gave you a chance.
