I’m joined by budding talking head Nicole Kiprilov to discuss Alex Kaschuta’s open betrayal of the online right in the New York Times. Previously, Kaschuta had been a sort of gateway drug to the dissident right, hosting various major figures on her podcast and cringe-ily spouting meme phrases in ways that she, and many simps, thought was very cute. Of course, it didn’t last. As soon as she realized that she may have to actually live by some of the principles she received attention for flirting with, she quickly ran back to the warm embrace of girl boss feminism. Her recent “you need to work harder to include women” rhetoric, and podcast appearances fretting about tariffs made her the heroine of a NYT piece about the vibe shifting against the dissident right, nevermind that it is of course this very unwillingess to compromise that drew her to us in the first place.I’d been predicting this disturbing end to the her arc for quite some time.

Rob Henderson is author of Troubled: A Memoir of Foster Care, Family, and Social Class, a clear-eyed look at the foster care and adoption systems in America from someone who actually experienced it. He later went to Yale, where he ran face first into what he calls “luxury beliefs.”As he says, “instability is worse than poverty,” and we should spend a lot more time in America trying to piece back together the institution of the family.The Carousel is a reader-supported publication.

I’m joined by returning guest Brian Chau, expert on all things AI, EA, and E/Acc, to discuss his work tracking the rise and fall of the Zizians, the trans vegan AI murder cult responsible for the deaths of at least 5 people. It reads like a true crime novel; absolutely fascinating, engaging, and not to be missed: Also please check out our prior conversation about art on his podcast—his insights on the “unveiling” essential to great art have since become some of my foundational ideas about culture creation and leadership.The Carousel is a reader-supported publication.
