4chan Down: Revenge Of The Soyjaks (E320)

Soyjaks! 4chan! Breeding kink! Katy Perry! All that and a surprise update about skateboarder and television personality Bam Margera in this week's episode. First up, Travis will tackle the recent devastating hack of 4chan, the infamous image board that gave us Pepe memes, QAnon family members, and maybe even a president. What is this “Soyjak Party” and why do they hate 4chan so much? Then Julian will cover the recent Elon Musk breeding kink fanfic — if the Wall Street Journal were a “fan” and documented reporting were a “fic.” Finally Jake will report on his investigation on worrying claims from conspiracists that the recent influencer-friendly flight of a Blue Origin rocket was entirely faked. We’ll also try to figure out which graphic designer is responsible for sneaking images of Baphomet into every spaceflight patch.
