Is the Trend Line Going Away?

In the age of femcels, proud boys, groypers, and C.H.U.D.s, one reporter is striving to make sense of it all. Her name is Taylor Lorenz, and her beat is literally the entire internet and all of the strange people who inhabit it. When she’s not discovering the next new thing in influencer culture or shining a light on the dark patterns of misinformation, Taylor is fending off attacks by Tucker Carlson, terrible trolls who aren’t Tucker Carlson, and other assorted villains who are just rude online. Taylor and Josh go deep on the modern state of existing on social media, fighting for the future, and straying further from god’s light every day. Discussed: Chili, doxxing, context collapse, chili.
