E66: Tucker Carlson Noshes on Filth Flies!

This week, Amazon’s much-ballyhooed New York City HQ2 was returned to sender faster than a Prime delivery. Meanwhile, a beige national emergency reared its MAGA-hat wearing head at Mar-a-Lago’s omelette bar. Also: Roger Stone got the smackdown from Judge Amy Berman Jackson for posting a wildly ill-conceived Instagram photo; Buzzfeed published an exposé of Blippi, a kid-friendly YouTube star with a shockingly NSFW past; an Israeli couple was fined for sending a string of emojis, including a squirrel and a comet; Tucker Carlson was dog-walked by a Dutch historian; Twitter freaked out over towels; and the Grand Canyon gift shop was displaying open containers of radioactive uranium. In other words, just a normal week in 2019.
