Flushing is Burning: No ID Needed

Grace is back after a very exciting week of Mets baseball. She discusses the many highs, and a significant low, of the past seven days of Mets games. She also gets into the latest updates regarding Shohei Ohtani and his interpreter Ippei Mizuhara’s gambling scandal.
Then she gets into another case of draconian laws levied at queer people this, time from Kansas. The proposed bill would mandate ID for viewing content deemed “harmful to minors” online, and the definition of such content includes homosexuality. She breaks down the intentional vagueness of the language, how impossible it may be to actually enforce, and what ripple effects such legislation can and usually does have.
Finally, Grace has a somewhat unorthodox movie minute (by her standards). She’s gotten very into ESPN’s 30 for 30 series as of late, and she gives her recommendations for great selections from the first volume of documentaries.
