Kat and Phoebe discuss $800 sweaters for feminism, Instagram deep-diving, and why angry MAGA men are circulating pictures of a certain podcaster’s hindquarters on twitter.
I think I read the conservative beer guy's attempted clapback a bit differently: I thought he was assuming that Kat is a pseudo-trad conservative who was being hypocritical for criticising the MAGA right for being raunchy, while herself being raunchy. I could be totally wrong on that, though. Either way, many such cases.
But also, the FC butt discourse seems eternal; I was reminded of Kat's review of Heather Radke's book on butts in 2023 and resultant rump rumpus. Horrible alliteration but "discourse" is a tired word that needs a vacation.
It’s such a lovely surprise to be listening to one of my favorite podcasts and hear my own article mentioned!! You guys have been hilarious lately, I feel like our twitter/bluesky feeds are showing us all the same crazy stuff. Love your work as always.
Question about Kat’s high school friend who she had a whole falling out with and who is now a tattoo model.
I don’t want to dredge up any painful memories, high school’s a difficult time for all of us and the last thing I want to do is make Kat relive the experience, but I am very curious about the situation, and I just have to know: is she currently single and if so is she open to dating premium subscribers
I like the “spinach in teeth” analogy of necessary criticism from friend vs. foe. I am awed by the fact that so many on the left are in “kill the messenger” mode. At age 58; I can count one person among all the people I have known for more than 20 years who is still willing to talk on the telephone or in-person. Everyone else avoids witch-Hepworth. Thank God for family and newer friends since 2005 - onward.
I predict that over time; progressives will gradually come around in 25 or 50 years.
I thought giant sweaters were meant to emphasize the fragility and tininess of the women inside them. And also to serve as markers of coziness in yogurt commercials. (You know, the lady is sitting curled up inside a giant sweater, licking yogurt off the back of the spoon in an ecstasy of non-fat indulgence) Who knew they were actually Trump-repelling armor?
Feminine Chaos should create a calendar where each month has an iconic photo of that month. My new bike is orange- so I could photograph it with autumn leaves on ground for October. I could add a bottle of maple syrup so that photo is American and Canadian.
Raunchy right or haunchy right? I wager the Conservative Beer Dad would not kick the owner of those haunches out of bed (if she were available) even if she was eating crackers.
Which brings me to comparative haunchology and ethnic phenotypes. Scarlett Johansson has a Jewish mom and an (obviously) Scandinavian father. If we were to do a side-by-side with Scarlett and Kat, we could scientifically examine how the genetic mix sorts out horizontally and vertically. Much more fun than phrenology, in any case.

I hope that I give off nuclear hot girl energy in my comments
Also polyamide is just the technical name for nylon. I irradiated it once
How do we think the beer calendar guy feels about AOC?

I must admit to having questions about "the actually sexy, and not beer calendar" picture:
Assuming Mr. Kat was pressed into service to take it? Did it require several takes?

What if per the Horney Beer Calendar simply demonstrates diversity on the right; family values and vulgar?
I think the con dad went to Wikifeet, where Kat's pics from her socials and general publications that show her feet (even from the back) are there.
I also support Phoebe's conspiracy theory on the partition of Twitter.
