From blankets to keychains, from dog collars to socks, Beavis’ and Butt-head’s faces have always been on merchandise. But did the merchandising cross the line to make a show and its characters officially uncool? New episode available wherever you get your podcasts!

How would YOU rank the seasons of Beavis and Butt-head? Your hosts set off on this fool’s errand and, in the process, came to realize they don’t always see eye-to-eye about the show. New episode out now wherever you get your podcasts!

Not Trump’s decision. I’m not an editor at the New York Times, but if the entire framing of a headline can be destroyed in three words, then it’s a bad headline, bad framing and bad journalism.

Beavis and Butt-head cannot be smart on purpose. But sometimes, they stumble into genius. This week’s episode explores 10 such times when the dumbass duo were accidentally the smartest people in Highland. Newest episode out now wherever you get your podcasts!

I tell my journalism students specifically not to do this. It's a hack move to make people sound dumb. Everyone talks like this — with the exception of maybe Pete Buttigieg — and it's an editorial choice to leave the little filler words in there.

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

Look, it’d be hypocritical for me to say “we don’t need any more professional opinon-havers,” but opinion writing in 2026 doesn’t need the institutional support of a newsroom, and certainly not as a priority over reporting. Canning journalists to purchase more takes is a betrayal of mission.
