Then, the mood turns darker. Threats against the president, local radio hosts, and conservative voices show just how ugly the political climate has become — and why the assassination of Charlie Kirk changed the conversation for a lot of people on the right.

Fingers also digs into a new study suggesting Gen X and Millennials may not outlive previous generations, which leads naturally — and dangerously — into dirty sodas, gas station diets, apple fritters before sunrise, and the eternal question: why does Reese’s keep inventing new ways to destroy us?
