ICYMI: Its OK to Criticize the Dead
It was impossible to get anything done the day the Queen died because Twitter was just too lively. All sorts of takes were had including the sympathetic, the critical, and the just plain funny. One specific strain of opinion criticized those who were laughing or rejoicing because they weren\u2019t respecting the grief of the royal family. On today\u2019s show, Nadira is back to talk to Rachelle about exactly what the trouble is with that train of thought. They discuss why people are so quick to jump to the dead\u2019s defense, and how that gets in the way of really remembering the full picture of a person\u2019s life.\nThis podcast is produced by Ahyiana Angel, Daniel Schroeder, Rachelle Hampton, and Daisy Rosario.\nSubscribe to Slate Plus at slate.com/icymiplus\nLearn more about your ad choices.
