Everybody loves a good social media trainwreck - posts so bad that you can't look away.\xa0 But how did we get like this?\xa0 Have we always been like this, and social media just gave us a new way to express it?\xa0 Vox's Rebecca Jennings joins the show to talk about 'Chronically Online' discourse.\xa0 We talk about why people say the insane things they say on Twitter, TikTok, and other platforms, why we can't resist a good dogpile on those people, and what it means for our culture and our politics.
