2020-07-204h 43Culture War Radio65: The Harper's LetterSunday, July 12, 2020 @ 9:00:00 pm William discussed the Harpers Letter, a public statement pushing back against “cancel culture” with 153 signatories. “Boris D Python” (@borisDpython) also joined the conversation again at the end too. Then there were more technical problems and the live stream was a very fucked up experience for a few extra minutes. For the recording, I cut off that part and will re-do the news I covered and more, and play music next week. Probably no guest. Ugh.Related Links
