Influenced - Helen Lewis Has Left the Chat - Left the Chat: No 1. Whatsapp Mishaps - Left the Chat: No 1. Whatsapp Mishaps - BBC Sounds

In 1998, Helen joined a vast social experiment - one that you are probably part of too.

I’ve really enjoyed this radio4 series about internet culture and the impact that messaging apps have had on our lives/politics.

Each episode is a half hour with different themes: WhatsApp groups, Politicians using WhatsApp, Slack, Chatbots/AI, Discord leakers, Telegram in Russia.

Probably would say the first half is more UK-specific but the show does a good job of making the later episodes relevant, thought provoking.

    She’s a transphobic piece of shit who abuses the concept of intersectionality to claim eternal victimhood for middle-class white women. Empty-brained narcissist.

      You can have a nuance debate about trans-inclusion in women’s sports without having to label the person you disagree with “a transphobic piece of shit”. It’s a complex issue that deserves better

        She has used her considerable platform to make trans lives worse in many ways, not just with regard to sport.

        Because she is a transphobic piece of shit, you see.
