Plus: We debate the new movie, “A Star Is Born.”We also cover these stories:--Nikki Haley, ambassador to the U.N., announced she will resign at the end of the year.--Kavanaugh announced his law clerks–all four of whom are women, a first for any Supreme Court justice.--The oil giant Exxon Mobil is donating $1 million to promote a tax on carbon emissions.--Kanye West is coming to the White House Thursday!

Philosophers In Space - 0G26: Pickle Rick and Toxic Fandom, Part 1

Wub a lub a dub dub and other overused catchphrases! What up my squanches? This week we dive into the beating heart of Rick and Morty fandom. We're talking Pickle Rick, arguably the best episode in the best season of one of the best shows in any possible universe. We talk about the whole arc of the show and why some fans who identify strongly with Rick have trouble keeping up with the character's personal growth, to the detriment of everyone who wants to enjoy Rick and Morty. Aw Geeze

Next week we're looking at Galaxy Quest as a meditation on how to grow from toxic fandom back into healthy fandom.

Katie Fustich's amazing article on the Real Ricks:

Brett Kavanaugh has done it. But how will the other members of the Supreme Court treat him? And does his promotion affect the American people’s faith in the nation’s highest court? Slate’s courts correspondent Dahlia Lithwick joins us to discuss.

In the Spiel, back in the private sector, Nikki Haley can look forward to making Hope Hicks–level money (which, incredibly, is a lot of money).
