## Resource

Sharing the pod I did with the TECH BROS over at Monitoring the Situation . Tried to give some sense of what we discuss over here at HoS, plus engage in the discourse of the day. Topics covered include: * How sports shape the future of X/Twitter * Caitlin Clark, the WNBA, and the business of controversy . * Nike, ideology, and shareholder value * The fragmentation of internet culture * Erik Torenberg’s controversial , “Right-wing memes are displacing African-American Vernacular English as the most dynamic source of linguistic innovation” comment House of Strauss is a reader-supported publication.
