  1. The Ideological Capture of Tech with Bryan Lunduke

    The Ideological Capture of Tech with Bryan Lunduke

    Remember the Free and Open Internet? Tech journalist Bryan Lunduke does, and isn’t afraid to write about its demise one institutional capture at a time. We discuss having our hearts broken by our beloved Internet Archive; the Wikipedia Foundation’s shady dealings; the Electronic Frontier Foundation’s championing “the right for little children to look at porn on the internet”; and Mozilla’s “Feminist decolonial lgbtqia+ climate justice using AI event in Zambia.” Like any good journalists, we ask the tough questions: How do you get your name forbidden by ChatGPT? Who is more banned from conferences, Lunduke or Paley? Are we gonna have a free and open internet, or not? (Answer: not.) Whether you love nerds or merely are one, this entertaining episode will have you wanting to get offline more than ever.

  2. Lesbians, Law, and Bicycles with Glenna Goldis

    Lesbians, Law, and Bicycles with Glenna Goldis

    Lawyer and unyielding bicyclist Glenna Goldis knows the law, knows how to write, and knows women are female (ask her how!). After she describes her fancy road bike, and Nina lists her many recumbents, we move on to The US vs Skrmetti (also discussed here). Plus: cocaine, harm reduction, biker bars, the ACLU, propaganda, men in women’s prisons, “improper housing,” cults, academics, clergy, saviors, honor court, gay marriage, SOGI, judge trainings, and the nascent Gender Critical Law Society. Goldis reminds us, “the people who fall for a scam are the people who are targeted for a scam,” and asks the important question: will Kara Dansky “flip” for Cori? Tune in and don’t find out!

  3. The Trouble With Parents with Stephanie Winn

    The Trouble With Parents with Stephanie Winn

    Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria (ROGD) is a family disease, affecting not only “trans kids” but parents and siblings too. Therapist, coach, consultant, and educator Stephanie Winn returns to Heterodorx to illuminate some of the hazards parents and other family members navigate: victimhood as identity, drama triangles, destabilization, enabling secondary gain, estrangement, extreme defensiveness, exacerbating relationship difficulties, “game-able heuristics”, and the trifecta of social contagion. Cori and Nina talk a little about their own family difficulties, while Stephanie describes her course curriculum for parents.  In this life, there’s no perfect parent. Indeed, there’s no perfect person. But there are two perfect people: your co-hosts, Cori and Nina. Happy Holidays from Heterodorx!

    Artificial Intelligence with Chris Waites

    AI Art Director, amateur comedian, band-aid specialist, DEI hire, and street researcher Chris Waites returns to Heterodorx — now with 10% more white! After disclosing some shattering news from 23&Me, Chris shares his expertise on AI generated visual art (please follow along on his Instagram page). Is AI art actually art? Does it threaten human art jobs? What are the differences between models such as Midjourney and DALL-E? Are there hot redheaded men? Is AI a tool, or a medium? Why can’t AI imitate Nina’s style? Can redheads have souls? Who produces more crap: humans or AI? What’s the best way to write an AI visual prompt? Can a Pokemon consent? From Tumblr fursona artists to Google Gemini, the time of scarce content is over and a new era of head-spinning disorientation has begun. Bleeeep!

    Judging US v Skrmetti with Judge TERF

    Retired MA High Court Justice & WoLF legal powerhouse Elspeth Cypher returns to Heterodorx to discuss US v. Skrmetti, the Supreme Court case that could change the pediatric gender-industrial complex forever. Nina gives a “pedestrian viewpoint” of the hearing before superior legal minds Elspeth and Cori discuss  solicitor generals, attorney generals, constitutional chaos, differentiation, discrimination, Dobbs, Loving, quasi-suspect vs full suspect classification, the equal protection clause, differences between girls and boys, and sissy beer. Nina eventually gets to talk about her FEELINGS on suicidal ideation, the relentless annoyance of youthful distress, child abuse, un-adults, terrifying life processes, and the need to grow up and old. Then we hear Judge TERF’s predictions of the outcome (coming Spring 2025), and Cori reminds everyone he TOLD YOU SO.
