Summary

New solo episode! This time Matt talks the upcoming presidential election, Kanye West’s unbelievably depressing entry into what was already an unbelievably depressing election season, the perils of TikTok, the importance of privacy even if you feel like you have nothing to hide, why young and old and middle-aged people all deserve equal amounts of vitriol and — of course — the fast-spreading coronavirus, Donald Trump’s epic mishandling of it, and the infuriatingly careless way teenagers are behaving in the face of this pandemic.

1:55.0	So the only one that even comes close to handling it as badly as we are is Brazil.

2:30.4	Uh, so the Trump of the tropics, Bolsonaro, has contracted coronavirus.
